boost control
1boost control — A control system for maintaining suitable boost pressure in a reciprocating engine and preventing excessive boost. This is normally done with the help of an automatic boost control unit. The automatic boost control unit operates by opening and… …
2boost control valve — See blowoff valve …
3Boost controller — Boost control is the principle of controlling the boost level produced in the intake manifold of a turbocharged or supercharged engine by affecting the air pressure delivered to the pneumatic and mechanical wastegate actuator. Boost controllers… …
4control valve — [1] A valve which regulates or operates a system, especially a hydraulic or vacuum control system. [2] Valve which regulates the flow or pressure of a medium which affects a controlled process. Control valves are operated by remote signals from… …
5Control flow — Not to be confused with Flow control. In computer science, control flow (or alternatively, flow of control) refers to the order in which the individual statements, instructions, or function calls of an imperative or a declarative program are… …
6Boost gauge — A boost gauge is a pressure gauge that indicates manifold air pressure or turbocharger or supercharger boost pressure in an internal combustion engine. They are commonly mounted on the dashboard, on the driver s side pillar, or in a radio… …
7boost sensor — A sensing device in a supercharger. It is located in the choke tube which sends a signal to the ignition control unit according to pressure conditions. In turn, the control unit adjusts the ignition timing for the best performance …
8Automatic Performance Control — (APC) was the first engine knock and boost control system that was introduced on turbo charged Saab H engines in 1982 and was fitted to all subsequent 900 Turbos through 1993 (and 1994 convertibles), as well as 9000 Turbos through 1989. The APC… …
9Engine control unit — An engine control unit (ECU) is an electronic control unit which controls various aspects of an internal combustion engine s operation. The simplest ECUs control only the quantity of fuel injected into each cylinder each engine cycle. More… …
10Traction control system — A traction control system (TCS), also known as Anti Slip Regulation (ASR), on current production vehicles, are typically (but not necessarily) electro hydraulic systems, designed to prevent loss of traction of the driven road wheels, and… …
