  2. Exhaust manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_manifold

    1. manifold; 2. gasket; 3. nut; 4. heat shield; 5. heat shield bolt. Ceramic-coated exhaust manifold on the side of a performance car. In automotive engineering, an exhaust manifold collects the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. The word manifold comes from the Old English word manigfeald (from the Anglo-Saxon manig [many ...

  3. Back-fire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-fire

    Exhaust system backfires occur in engines that have an emission system malfunction, like an air injection system diverter valve problem, an exhaust leak, or when the catalytic converter has been removed. In some high-performance vehicles, when a driver shifts up and lets off the accelerator, the engine has a moment of running rich. This causes ...

  4. Exhaust gas recirculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_recirculation

    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.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Exhaust brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_brake

    Description. An exhaust brake is a valve which essentially creates a back-pressure in the exhaust system, which applies enough force onto the engine's pistons to slow the engine. In most cases, an exhaust brake is so effective that it can slow a heavily-loaded vehicle on a downgrade without ever applying the vehicle’s service brakes.

  7. Secondary air injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_air_injection

    The mechanism by which exhaust emissions are controlled depends on the method of injection and the point at which air enters the exhaust system, and has varied during the course of the development of the technology. The first systems injected air very close to the engine, either in the cylinder head's exhaust ports or in the exhaust manifold.

  8. Carburetor heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor_heat

    Carburetor heat. Carburetor heat (usually abbreviated to 'carb heat') is a system used in automobile and piston-powered light aircraft engines to prevent or clear carburetor icing. It consists of a moveable flap which draws hot air into the engine intake. The air is drawn from the heat stove, a metal plate around the (very hot) exhaust manifold.

  9. Exhaust system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_system

    Exhaust system of the Opel Corsa B 1.2 petrol Exhaust manifold (chrome plated) on a car engine. An exhaust system is used to guide reaction exhaust gases away from a controlled combustion inside an engine or stove. The entire system conveys burnt gases from the engine and includes one or more exhaust pipes. Depending on the overall system ...
