Throttle valves are used to regulate the air supply and thus the fuel-air mixture of motor vehicles. They contribute to optimal performance development and emission reduction. Throttle valves are located in the throttle valve control unit, which consists of the housing, the drive and the angle adjusters and is installed in the intake manifold between the air filter and the intake manifold. The position of the throttle valve is determined depending on the model either mechanically or via an electronic accelerator pedal, the engine control unit and a servomotor. Throttle valves of diesel engines are referred to as air control valves. In the intake air management, modularization was already started at an early stage. Today, automotive OEMs rely on higher-integrated intake modules for the supply of air to the engine, Which are also used for filtering the sucked-in air and optimizing the air-fuel mixing. In addition to the intake manifold, throttle valves, air filters, injection valves, sensors, the engine control unit and a cable set are typical components. Depending on the model, oil mist separators or fuel filters can be added. Modern suction modules enable better space utilization, a reduction in the interfaces as well as less installation and maintenance costs.
