Pulse Air Valve

The Pulse Air Valve (PAV) replaces the air pump on some thermactor systems. It permits air to be drawn into exhaust system by the vacuum created by the exiting exhaust pulse. This allows fresh air to complete oxidation of exhaust gases, and it blocks backflow of high pressure exhaust pulses.
