2. Blowoff valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve

   A blowoff valve is designed to release pressure in the intake system when the throttle is closed. A "recirculating" type blowoff valve releases the pressurised air back into the non-pressurized section of the intake (i.e. upstream of the turbocharger), while an "atmospheric venting" type blowoff valve dumps the air directly into the atmosphere.

3. Wastegate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

   Wastegate. A wastegate is a valve that controls the flow of exhaust gases to the turbine wheel in a turbocharged engine system. [1] Diversion of exhaust gases regulates the turbine speed, which in turn regulates the rotating speed of the compressor. The primary function of the wastegate is to regulate the maximum boost pressure in turbocharger ...

4. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

   Crankcase ventilation system. A crankcase ventilation system (CVS) removes unwanted gases from the crankcase of an internal combustion engine. The system usually consists of a tube, a one-way valve and a vacuum source (such as the inlet manifold). The unwanted gases, called "blow-by", are gases from the combustion chamber which have leaked past ...

5. Exhaust gas recirculation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_recirculation

   In internal combustion engines, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is a nitrogen oxide (NO x) emissions reduction technique used in petrol/gasoline, diesel engines and some hydrogen engines. [1] EGR works by recirculating a portion of an engine's exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders. The exhaust gas displaces atmospheric air and reduces O 2 in ...

6. Scavenging (engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scavenging_(engine)

   Scavenging is the process of replacing the exhaust gas in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine with the fresh air/fuel mixture (or fresh air, in the case of direct-injection engines) for the next cycle. If scavenging is incomplete, the remaining exhaust gases can cause improper combustion for the next cycle, leading to reduced power ...

7. Banjo fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo_fitting

   A pair of banjo bolts as used in automotive braking. A banjo fitting is actually called a hose connecting bolt, or internally relieved bolt, and a spherical union for fluid transfer. It is typically used to connect a fluid line to a rigid, internally threaded hydraulic component. The bolt is assembled through the center of the union, usually ...
