These components also control the amount of the air that is available for combustion. The components of the air inlet and exhaust system are listed below:
Air cleaner
Turbocharger
Aftercooler
Cylinder head
Valves and valve system components
Piston and cylinder
Exhaust manifoldInlet air is pulled through the air cleaner. The inlet air is then compressed and heated by the compressor wheel of turbocharger (6) to about 150°C (300°F). The inlet air is then pushed through air-to-air aftercooler core (2) and the inlet air is moved to air inlet elbow (3). The temperature of the inlet air at air inlet elbow (3) is about 43°C (110°F). Cooling of the inlet air increases the combustion efficiency. Increased combustion efficiency helps to lower fuel consumption. Also, increased combustion efficiency helps to increase horsepower output.Aftercooler core (2) is a separate cooler core. Aftercooler core (2) is installed in front of the core (standard) of the engine radiator on the machine. Air that is ambient temperature is moved across the aftercooler core by the engine fan. This cools the turbocharged inlet air.From aftercooler core (2), the air is forced into the cylinder head in order to fill the inlet ports. Air flow from the inlet port into the cylinder is controlled by the inlet valves.

Air inlet and exhaust system (2) Aftercooler core (4) Exhaust outlet (5) Turbine side of turbocharger (6) Compressor side of turbocharger (8) Exhaust valve (9) Inlet valve (10) Air inlet (11) Exhaust manifoldThere are two inlet valves and one exhaust valve for each cylinder. Inlet valves open when the piston moves down on the inlet stroke. When the inlet valves open, cooled compressed air from the inlet port is pulled into the cylinder. The inlet valves close and the piston begins to move up on the compression stroke. The air in the cylinder is compressed. When the piston is near the top of the compression stroke, fuel is injected into the cylinder. The fuel mixes with the air and combustion starts. During the power stroke, the combustion force pushes the piston downward. After the power stroke is complete, the piston moves upward. This upward movement is the exhaust stroke. During the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valve opens, and the exhaust gases are pushed through the exhaust port into the exhaust manifold. After the piston completes the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valve closes and the cycle starts again. The complete cycle consists of four stages:
Inlet stroke
Compression stroke
Power stroke
Exhaust strokeExhaust gases from exhaust manifold (11) enter the turbine side of turbocharger (5) in order to turn the turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is connected to a shaft which drives the compressor wheel. Exhaust gases from the turbocharger pass through the exhaust outlet pipe, the muffler and the
