Variable Intake System — Schaltsaugrohr geschlossen Schaltsaugrohr offen Ein Schaltsaugrohr (auch engl. Variable Intake System) ist eine Vorrichtung auf der Saugseite eines Benzinmotors, um den Füllgrad entzündbarer Gase in der Brennkammer bei unterschiedlichen… … Deutsch Wikipedia
variable intake manifold — A setup in which the path through which air travels into the engine can be altered. Altering the path at a set point allows an engine to develop more power over its rev range … Dictionary of automotive terms
Variable length intake manifold — (VLIM) is an automobile engine manifold technology. As the name implies, VLIM can vary the length of the intake tract in order to optimize power and torque, as well as provide better fuel efficiency.There are two main effects of variable intake… … Wikipedia
intake manifold — The connecting tubes between the base of the carburetor and the port openings to the intake valve or intake ports. The air fuel mixture travels from the throttle body into a chamber called the plenum which feeds individual tubes (called runners)… … Dictionary of automotive terms
Variable valve timing — Variable valve timing, or VVT, is a generic term for an automobile piston engine technology. VVT allows the lift or duration or timing (some or all) of the intake or exhaust valves (or both) to be changed while the engine is in operation. Two… … Wikipedia
Variable displacement — is an automobile engine technology that allows the engine displacement to change, usually by deactivating cylinders, for improved fuel economy. The technology is primarily used in large, multi cylinder engines. Many automobile manufacturers have… … Wikipedia
Variable valve actuation — Variable Valve Actuation, or VVA, is a generalised term used to describe any mechanism or method that can alter the shape or timing of a valve lift event within an internal combustion engine. There are many ways in which this can be achieved,… … Wikipedia
Variable Cycle Engine — In a Variable Cycle Engine (VCE) the engine cycle is deliberately modified from that which would occur under normal circumstances.The next generation of Supersonic transport (SST) may require some form of VCE. SST engines require a high Specific… … Wikipedia
Intake — An intake , or especially for aircraft inlet, is an air intake for an engine. Because the modern internal combustion engine is in essence a powerful air pump, like the exhaust system on an engine, the intake must be carefully engineered and tuned … Wikipedia
Intake ramp — An intake ramp is a rectangular, plate like device within the air intake of a jet engine, designed to generate a shock wave to aid the inlet compression process at supersonic speeds. The ramp sits at an acute angle to deflect the intake air from… … Wikipedia
