Where is the throttle located in a car?
1 Answers
The throttle is located behind the air filter in the intake system and in front of the intake manifold. Below is a detailed introduction to the throttle: 1. Types of throttles: (1) Electro-hydraulic type (2) Linear electromagnetic type (3) Stepper motor type (4) DC servo motor type. Due to low control precision, the electro-hydraulic and stepper motor types are rarely used in cars. The linear electromagnetic type is also seldom applied due to its high power consumption. The DC servo motor type effectively overcomes these issues and is thus more widely used in vehicles. 2. Function of the throttle: It controls the engine's air intake flow, acting as a controllable valve that determines the engine's operating conditions. After entering the intake manifold, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then participates in combustion to generate power. The driver operates the throttle opening by pressing the accelerator pedal.
