|
Discharge valve. This is placed in supercharged engines between the compressor element and the inlet ducts. It stops the pressure in the intake collector exceeding a certain value and so avoids any damage to the engine components. It lets a part of the admission air escape when the pressure exceeds this value. Depending on the type of engine. the valve can be set at around 0.7-0.9 bars (highpeak power). or between 0.2 and 0.5 for urbocharged engines with low pressure.

|
Carburettor that can be made up of one or two bodies.The basic operation on its two variations is similar to other carburettors with just one body. It is used on European four cylinder engines. The choke (similar to the one on the Solex and Zenith) is different because it has one more positionwhich is used to obtain an economic consumption.
