Where is the car intake manifold located?
1 Answers
Car intake manifold is located in the engine compartment, which can be seen after opening the engine hood, and it is connected to the intake tract. The intake manifold delivers air to different cylinders separately, and it is generally made of plastic. Using a plastic intake manifold can reduce the weight of the engine. Some high-performance cars even use carbon fiber intake manifolds. The intake manifold must distribute the air-fuel mixture or clean air as evenly as possible to each cylinder. For this purpose, the length of the gas flow channels inside the intake manifold should be as equal as possible. To reduce gas flow resistance and improve intake capacity, the inner wall of the intake manifold should be smooth.
