AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
In diesel engine three elements are necessary to
Produce Combustion.
o Air
o Fuel
o Generation of Heat
Air is drawn by the Induction or the Intake System.
A good combustion requires 12500 gallons of air.
The Three main components of an Intake System are:
1. Air Cleaner
2. Throttle Body
3. Intake manifold

AIR INDUCTION & EXHAUST SYSTEM

AIR CLEANER

The air cleaner contains , air cleaner element to remove dust

and other particles from the air while introducing atmospheric
air into the engine.
An air cleaner element must be cleaned at regular intervals.

TYPES OF AIR CLEANER ELEMENT

1. Paper Type
A type that is most widely used on automobiles

2. Fabric Type
A type that contains a washable element mad of fabric.

3. Oil bath Type

A wet type that contains an oil bath.

AIR INDUCTION & EXHAUST SYSTEM

TYPES OF AIR CLEANER

Pre-air Cleaner

Oil bath Type

Cyclone Type

1. Pre air Cleaner

It uses the centrifugal force of the air that is generated by the rotational movement of the fins to
separate the dust from the air. The dust is then sent to the dust trap and the air is sent to another
air cleaner.

2. Fabric Type
Filters the air through an air cleaner element made of metallic wool, which is soaked with oil
stored in the bottom of the air cleaner case.

3. Oil bath Type

Removes debris such as sand through the centrifugal force of the air swirl created by fins, and
catches small dust particles through an air cleaner element mad of paper.

AIR INDUCTION & EXHAUST SYSTEM

Intake Manifold

An intake manifold consist of several pipes that supply air to

Each Cylinders.

AIR INDUCTION & EXHAUST SYSTEM

Exhaust System

The exhaust system releases exhaust gases produced

by the engine into the atmosphere.
