1.5L REVOTORQ ENGINE

71

COMPONENTS

A. Exhaust Manifold

The exhaust manifold is mounted on the cylinder

head. The exhaust gases are trapped out from the

engine through the exhaust manifold.

B. Turbocharger

(VGT)

CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION

VGT limits exhaust gas inflow to less than its maxi-

mum capacity to prevent overload in advance.

Because this technology provides an engine with

high durability and better economic efficiency, it stll

remains a market leading product. The pressure of

the exhaust gas dramatically increases at high

speeds, and may cause damage to the turbo-

charger. VGT by-passes overloaded exhaust gas

using the waste gate to prevent this potential prob-

lem A waste gate is

a valve

that diverts

exhaust gases

away from th

e turbine

wheel in

a turbocharged

engine

system.

ADVANTAGES / FEATURES

Good low end torque.

Good transient response.

Good fuel economy.

Increased useful engine operating range.

It provides more matching level of pressure

boost even to a slow spinning turbine without

providing too much of a boost at higher speed.

Low engine noise.

Lower emission.

C. LNT+CDPF

The LNT+CDPF is a critical element of the system

used to reduce vehicle exhaust emissions. The

catalytically active element within the converter

lowers the activation energy needed to selectively

transform harmful combustion products into less

harmful gases. The catalyst becomes active when it

reaches a threshold temperature.

LNT+CDPF is physically positioned very close to

the engine exhaust ports to enable quicker light-off.

It also enables flushing out of the carbon particles

present in the Catalytic Converter.

Benefits

• Positioned close to the engine exhaust ports for

fast light-off and reduced cold start emissions.

• Robust construction offers excellent durability.

• Internally insulated construction design enables

improved durability, reduced heat rejection and

lower noise.
