Chapter 3 Induction and Exhaust Systems Reciprocating Engine Induction Systems The basic induction system of an aircraft reciprocating engine consists of an air scoop used to collect the inlet air and ducting that transfers the air to the inlet filter.
The air filter is generally housed in the carburetor heat box or other housing close by that is attached to the carburetor or fuel injection controller.
The engine used in light aircraft is usually equipped with either a carburetor or a fuel-injection system.
After air passes through the fuel metering device, an intake manifold with long curved pipes or passages is used to send the fuel/air mixture to the cylinders.
An induction air scoop is shown in Figure 3-1.
The air scoop is located on the engine cowling to allow maximum airflow into the engine’s induction system.
The air filter, shown in Figure 3-2, prevents dirt and other foreign matter from entering the engine.
Filtered air enters the fuel metering device (carburetor/fuel injector) where the throttle plate controls the amount of air flowing to the engine.
The air coming out of the throttle is referred to as manifold pressure.
This pressure is measured in inches of mercury ("Hg) and controls engine power output.
