Air Intake

An air intake or intake cold air is known as a system made ​​to cool the air flow goes in the car and in this way - to increase the engine power of the engine. A secondary benefit of this aftermarket part is the change of use of your car. Make your car radio and make it look better. Therefore, air intakes, many colors are made ​​of different materials and

Let's take a look at the history of thisinteresting component of everyday life for many people today. In late 1980, K & N Engineering are known, the first to offer this product and are therefore called to be the creators of aftermarket solution. The air intake before the future is plastic and consists of a tube into the air intake and a filter that uses the opportunity to be very necessary component. started in late 1990, many producers of our own designsAir vents and the news made ​​these products in the Japanese market and in many other places around the world definitively that near des

Air

The mechanics of the air intakes follow a very simple principal physical - the cold air has a higher density for a given volume. E 'known that combustion requires oxygen, and air entering the combustion process more to get more power to you. Designers came to theSolution if they take the air out of the vehicle around it is cooler in the combustion chamber, and this will provide more oxygen. For this reason, there is an intake manifold that greater intake of air from a location further from the one in which combustion occurs and where the heat.

But the higher the resistance of the pipe, the warmer the air friction is to obtain, because air dynamic. To ensure low Friction, designers sometimes increase the diameter of the component suction and provides more air circulation with reduced friction. You must be increased in diameter, but can not be increased too much, because it will be too large. Therefore, a different strategy comes into play. Smoothing the inside of the turbulence of the air intake is reduced and using - the dynamic friction is reduced the air. Most direct route for> Air may be possible in some cases, results might even bigger still. Some manufacturers redesign their air filter with the aim to reduce its strength.

The Snorkel is an opening in the container that passes through the air. To ensure a sufficient flow of air regardless of the throttle of the current intake snorkel should be large enough and is generally calculated for full throttle. No need for more automated systemsimprove their parameters, because even if less air is required, will be no problem. The contribution should not be too large, the efficiency could be lost at times because of this. If there should be other restrictions on the flow of intake air with the diameter of the tube. Some elements of the system would need to run the larger diameter of the intake, but this must be properly calibrated.

A good solution for recording the use of a heat shield. This part is designed to isolate the air filter through the rest of the engine and allows the air with lower temperature. Normally, this bay is air taken from the front of the engine.

Some manufacturers use carbon fiber air intake and this offers a good product, looking for the final. The carbon fiber has better insulation temperature parameters, and in some cases helps to isolate the> Air filter. This reduces the weight of the car, because it is less difficult than the metal. However, the carbon fiber is an expensive material. In most cases, only look better the machine, without doing much good.

A rather extreme solution to the air intake is called CCA or complete cold air. It usually requires some modifications to the bodywork of the car. The idea is that the air is removed from the wheel wells and hood scoop. The air in thisMunicipalities with high speed and under pressure, quickly reduces the temperature. This solution for the recruitment of air intake is called Ram-air, and motion for high-performance vehicles such as cars o.

When air is used there should always be the word remains in your mind when driving on a rainy day. The word "Hydrolock. It happens when the water is sucked through the suction air. Most likely leave lessno power. Water is not like the air and does not compress, you may be increasing its speed. When the speed reaches a critical state, the so-called "hydraulic shock" appears and the blue is the connecting rod broke in the flask.

They could be avoided only by careful and rain days, or maybe slow, but usually is not very helpful, because if you're in a hurry do not always think about your car. After all, you should work for you - not theOpposite. Therefore, some precautions are necessary.

The first precaution that comes to mind is a rain drives us all, but that usually is not an option we take a look at some better solutions. The first is called Hydro-shield and it's really a simple piece of plastic that stops all infiltration of water into the air filter. Today, K & N offers a very elegant solution called "Drycharger" which is not too expensive and it might give you a lotConcerns.
