  2. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    PCV valve on Ford Taunus V4 engine (feeding from left side valve cover into the inlet manifold) 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).

  3. Scavenging (engine) - Wikipedia

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

    Diagram of uniflow scavenging. 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 ...

  4. Air flow bench - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_flow_bench

    The flow bench tests using only air while a real engine usually uses air mixed with fuel droplets and fuel vapor, which is significantly different. Evaporating fuel passing through the port-runner has the effect of adding gas to and lowering the temperature of the air stream along the runner and giving the outlet flow rate slightly higher than ...

  5. Centrifugal pump selection and characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump_selection...

    Flow Rate – The flow rate is necessary to select a pump because the head characteristics of a pump will be affected by the flow rate of the system. It is necessary to importantly measure or ascertain this parameter, since the flow rate is critical in many industrial processes, especially in chemical industries.

  6. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

    The oil pump is an internal combustion engine part that circulates engine oil under pressure to the rotating bearings, the sliding pistons and the camshaft of the engine. This lubricates the bearings, allows the use of higher-capacity fluid bearings , and also assists in cooling the engine.

  7. MultiAir - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiAir

    In contrast, MultiAir uses managed hydraulic fluid to provide variable valve control. Control of a MultiAir engine's intake valves works via a valve tappet (cam follower), moved by a mechanical intake cam, which is connected to the intake valve through a hydraulic chamber, controlled by a normally open on/off solenoid valve. [11] The system ...

  8. Valvetrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valvetrain

    A valvetrain is a mechanical system that controls the operation of the intake and exhaust valves in an internal combustion engine. [1] The intake valves control the flow of air/fuel mixture (or air alone for direct-injected engines) into the combustion chamber, while the exhaust valves control the flow of spent exhaust gases out of the ...

  9. Axial-flow pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial-flow_pump

    An axial-flow pump for industrial use. An axial-flow pump, or AFP, is a common type of pump that essentially consists of a propeller (an axial impeller) in a pipe.The propeller can be driven directly by a sealed motor in the pipe or by electric motor or petrol/diesel engines mounted to the pipe from the outside or by a right-angle drive shaft that pierces the pipe.
