Forklift Throttle Body
Forklift Throttle Body - The throttle body is part of the intake control system in fuel injected engines so as to regulate the amount of air flow to the engine. This particular mechanism operates by putting pressure upon the driver accelerator pedal input. Normally, the throttle body is situated between the air filter box and the intake manifold. It is normally connected to or placed next to the mass airflow sensor. The biggest piece inside the throttle body is a butterfly valve referred to as the throttle plate. The throttle plate's main task is to control air flow.
On nearly all cars, the accelerator pedal motion is transferred via the throttle cable, therefore activating the throttle linkages works to be able to move the throttle plate. In automobiles consisting of electronic throttle control, otherwise known as "drive-by-wire" an electric motor controls the throttle linkages. The accelerator pedal connects to a sensor and not to the throttle body. This sensor sends the pedal position to the ECU or likewise known as Engine Control Unit. The ECU is responsible for determining the throttle opening based on accelerator pedal position together with inputs from other engine sensors. The throttle body consists of a throttle position sensor. The throttle cable connects to the black portion on the left hand side that is curved in design. The copper coil placed close to this is what returns the throttle body to its idle position as soon as the pedal is released.
Throttle plates rotate inside the throttle body each time pressure is applied on the accelerator. The throttle passage is then opened so as to permit a lot more air to flow into the intake manifold. Usually, an airflow sensor measures this change and communicates with the ECU. In response, the Engine Control Unit then increases the amount of fluid being sent to the fuel injectors to be able to produce the desired air-fuel ratio. Often a throttle position sensor or also called TPS is fixed to the shaft of the throttle plate so as to provide the ECU with information on whether the throttle is in the wide-open throttle or likewise called "WOT" position, the idle position or somewhere in between these two extremes.
To be able to control the least amount of air flow while idling, various throttle bodies could have adjustments and valves. Even in units which are not "drive-by-wire" there would often be a small electric motor driven valve, the Idle Air Control Valve or IACV that the ECU uses to be able to regulate the amount of air which can bypass the main throttle opening.
In numerous vehicles it is common for them to contain one throttle body. In order to improve throttle response, more than one can be utilized and connected together by linkages. High performance automobiles such as the BMW M1, together with high performance motorcycles such as the Suzuki Hayabusa have a separate throttle body for each and every cylinder. These models are referred to as ITBs or likewise known as "individual throttle bodies."
A throttle body is similar to the carburetor in a non-injected engine. Carburetors combine the functionality of the fuel injectors and the throttle body into one. They operate by combining the air and fuel together and by controlling the amount of air flow. Cars which have throttle body injection, which is called TBI by GM and CFI by Ford, locate the fuel injectors in the throttle body. This permits an older engine the possibility to be converted from carburetor to fuel injection without considerably changing the engine design.
