manifold pressure
1manifold pressure — The absolute pressure in the intake manifold of a reciprocating engine. It is the pressure at which the fuel air mixture is forced into cylinders and is equal to the atmospheric pressure plus a boost less friction losses in the manifold less the… …
2manifold pressure sensor — A sensor that reads pressure changes in the intake manifold in relation to barometric pressure. Also known as manifold vacuum sensor, manifold absolute pressure sensor, pressure differential sensor, or vacuum sensor …
3manifold pressure controlled — (MPC) a fuel injection system which determines engine load based on intake man pressure …
4Manifold vacuum — Not to be confused with Vacuum manifold. Manifold vacuum, or engine vacuum in an internal combustion engine is the difference in air pressure between the engine s intake manifold and Earth s atmosphere. Manifold vacuum is an effect of a piston s… …
5manifold absolute pressure sensor — (MAP) A sensor which monitors the engine s intake manifold pressure and transmits the data to the engine controller. A pressure sensitive disk capacitor used to measure air pressure inside the intake manifold. The Map sensor sends a signal to the …
6manifold vacuum sensor — A sensor that reads pressure changes in the intake manifold in relation to barometric pressure. Also known as manifold pressure sensor, pressure differential sensor, or vacuum sensor …
7pressure differential sensor — A sensor that reads pressure changes in the intake manifold in relation to barometric pressure. Also called a manifold pressure sensor, manifold vacuum sensor, or vacuum sensor …
8manifold absolute pressure — (MAP) manifold pressure measured on the absolute pressure scale, an indication of engine load. At sea level, MAP = 1 bar (14.5 psi) …
9pressure drop — [1] The difference in pressure between two points in the system, usually caused by a restriction device. Specifically the difference in pressure where fuel metering occurs. In electronic injection system, this is the difference between fuel… …
10Manifold (automotive) — In automotive engineering, an intake manifold or inlet manifold is the part of an engine that supplies the fuel/air mixture to the cylinders. An exhaust manifold or header collects the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. The word …
