Is there a specific installation direction for the brake booster pump check valve?
1 Answers
Automotive brake booster pump check valves do not have a specific installation direction; they can be installed directly as is: 1. The brake booster pump is a large-diameter vacuum chamber with a diaphragm (or piston) in the middle that has a push rod, dividing the chamber into two parts, one part connected to the atmosphere; 2. The other part is connected to the engine intake manifold via a pipe. Therefore, when the engine is turned off, there is no intake vacuum, and thus no power assistance, requiring much greater human effort for braking; 3. It is important to note that many beginners mistakenly believe that there is no braking when the engine is turned off, which is incorrect.
