    Manifold vacuum, or engine vacuum in a petrol engine is the difference in air pressure between the engine's intake manifold and Earth's atmosphere.. Manifold vacuum is an effect of a piston's movement on the induction stroke and the airflow through a throttle in the intake manifold of an engine.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swirl_flap

    Swirl flap principle in a four-valve engine. A swirl flap is a small butterfly valve fitted to four-stroke internal combustion engines with at least two intake valves.It is installed inside or just before one of a cylinder's two intake ports, allowing to throttle its intake port's air flow, causing a swirl in the other intake port not fitted with a swirl flap.

  5. Choke valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_valve

    Most choke valves in engines are butterfly valves mounted upstream of the carburetor jet to produce a higher partial vacuum, which increases the fuel draw. [ 1 ] In heavy industrial or fluid engineering contexts, including oil and gas production, a choke valve or choke is a particular design of valve with a solid cylinder placed inside another ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_intake...

    In double overhead camshaft (DOHC) designs, the air paths may sometimes be connected to separate intake valves [citation needed] so the shorter path can be excluded by de-activating the intake valve itself. Pressurisation A tuned intake path can have a light pressurising effect similar to a low-pressure supercharger due to Helmholtz resonance ...
