Pulse Air Injection Reactor: Operation

Each one of the check valves in the pulse air valve is connected to an exhaust port. The firing of the engine creates a pulsating flow of exhaust gases. When positive exhaust pressure is felt, the check valve will be forced closed and no exhaust gas will flow past the valve into the fresh air supply line. With negative exhaust pressure (vacuum), the check valve will open and fresh air will be drawn and mixed with exhaust gases. During high engine RPM, the check valve will remain closed (such as under heavy acceleration). Air supply to the Pulse Air System is controlled by an electric or vacuum shut off valve operated by the Computer Command Control. When the engine starts and is operating in open loop mode, the valve is energized and the fresh air line is open. When Computer Command Control switches to closed loop, the valve is de-energized and the fresh air line is closed.
