Sentence examples for throttle plate from inspiring English sources

Rather than regulating air flow with a throttle plate at the point where air enters the intake system, valve-throttling systems vary the amount that the engine's intake valves are opened, thereby controlling the flow of air at the point where it enters the engine's cylinders.

By limiting the flow of air with a throttle plate, the engine has to work harder.

But engineers have long known that the throttle plate saps the engine's power and efficiency, so with escalating fuel prices and dwindling resources providing an incentive to squeeze more miles from each drop of fuel, automakers drew a bead on the throttle plate, seeking to eliminate its inefficiencies.

A conventional throttle plate impedes efficiency because it increases the engine's workload, forcing the pistons to pull air in from a low-pressure area or a vacuum in the engine's intake system that extends all the way to the throttle-plate gateway.

BMW Valvetronic engines have a conventional throttle plate at the intake's entry point, but it closes only when the engine is not running and for a brief period after start-up.

Following this warm-up period, the throttle plate remains open in normal driving, so there's no low-pressure area in the manifold impeding the engine's ability to pump air.

Limiting the amount of air available for combustion is the only practical way to control the speed of a gasoline engine, so that task has long been performed by a simple device: the throttle, a swiveling plate linked to the accelerator pedal that serves as a gate in the passageway that delivers air to the engine's cylinders.

Manipulation of the throttling device (orifice plates) and the operating conditions have increased the iodine liberation rates, three times more than acoustic cavitation at equivalent power dissipation rates.

Perforated plate is used as the throttling element to ensure the suitable pressure of steam and reduce aerodynamic noise inside HPRV and the linked pipelines.

A closer look reveals that the pedals are metal plates screwed onto the regular rubber throttle and brake pedals.

The plate thickness has less influence on throttling effects.
