Forklift Throttle Body
Forklift Throttle Body - The throttle body is a component of the intake control system in fuel injected engines to control the amount of air flow to the engine. This particular mechanism functions by putting pressure on the driver accelerator pedal input. Generally, the throttle body is located between the intake manifold and the air filter box. It is usually attached to or positioned next to the mass airflow sensor. The biggest part in the throttle body is a butterfly valve called the throttle plate. The throttle plate's main function is so as to regulate air flow.
On several styles of automobiles, the accelerator pedal motion is communicated through the throttle cable. This activates the throttle linkages which in turn move the throttle plate. In vehicles consisting of electronic throttle control, otherwise known as "drive-by-wire" an electric motor regulates 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 also known as Engine Control Unit. The ECU is responsible for determining the throttle opening based upon accelerator pedal position together with inputs from various engine sensors. The throttle body consists of a throttle position sensor. The throttle cable is attached to the black portion on the left hand side which is curved in design. The copper coil situated close to this is what returns the throttle body to its idle position when the pedal is released.
The throttle plate rotates inside the throttle body each and every time the operator applies pressure on the accelerator pedal. This opens the throttle passage and permits a lot more air to flow into the intake manifold. Usually, an airflow sensor measures this adjustment 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 generate the desired air-fuel ratio. Often a throttle position sensor or otherwise called TPS is attached to the shaft of the throttle plate to be able to provide the ECU with information on whether the throttle is in the idle position, the wide-open position or likewise called "WOT" position or somewhere in between these two extremes.
Several throttle bodies can include adjustments and valves in order to regulate the minimum airflow all through the idle period. Even in units which are not "drive-by-wire" there will normally be a small electric motor driven valve, the Idle Air Control Valve or also called IACV which the ECU utilizes to be able to regulate the amount of air which can bypass the main throttle opening.
In numerous automobiles it is common for them to contain one throttle body. To be able to improve throttle response, more than one can be used and attached together by linkages. High performance vehicles such as the BMW M1, together with high performance motorcycles such as the Suzuki Hayabusa have a separate throttle body for every cylinder. These models are referred to as ITBs or "individual throttle bodies."
The carburator and the throttle body in a non-injected engine are somewhat similar. The carburator combines the functionality of both the fuel injectors and the throttle body into one. They are able to modulate the amount of air flow and combine the air and fuel together. Vehicles that include throttle body injection, that is referred to as TBI by GM and CFI by Ford, situate the fuel injectors inside the throttle body. This allows an older engine the possibility to be converted from carburetor to fuel injection without considerably changing the design of the engine.
