Study Notes
Air Induction System
- Ram air enters the engine through an opening in the forward part of the lower engine cowling nose cap.
- The air is filtered through a filter located at the opening in the nose cap.
- The filtered air is directed to the inlet of the carburetor, mounted on the lower side of the engine.
- In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with the air to create a fuel-air mixture.
- The fuel-air mixture is distributed to each cylinder by separate intake pipes attached to the intake manifold.
- The intake pipes are attached to the intake manifold with hose and clamps, and to the cylinder with a two-bolt flange sealed with a gasket.
Anti-Icing System
- The induction airbox contains a valve operated by the carburetor heat control in the cabin.
- The valve permits air from an exhaust-heated source to be selected in case of carburetor icing or filter icing.
