Not least among the factors that
contribute to the relative efficiency
of the modern motor car as compared
with its predecessors of a few years
ago, is the present day design of
manifolds. This efficiency of the
manifold has much to do with car
buretion efficiency and this in turn
largely determines the power. econ
omy, etc, of the engine. No other
part OF the internal combustion en-
zine has undergone quite such reyo-
'utionary changes within the past
'ew years as the manifolds, espe-
tally the inlet.
Two considerations have forced
1anifold design on the attention of
he engineers One has been the in
istent demand of the motoring pub
ic, ever since there has been such q
hing, for economy of operation as
egards fuel and secondly the de-
lining quality OF the gasoline that
e have been getting.
In the days when we got highly
olatile fuel that exploded without
Encouragement of any kind, we could
ford to use the long exposed mani
'lds, because the snappy gas of that
me had little tendency to condense
its way to the cylinders. The long
,anifolds OF yesterday had certsfn
erits, principally theiI lack OF sharp
urves which would interrupt the
0w of gas. But their length and
yposed position would make them
1possible with present day grades
fuel.
How the Fuel Flows
Perhaps the average car owner does
Ot know. or rather does not stop 10
ink, just what process the fuel goes
rough before il reaches the COM
1stion chamber. The fuel flows from
e gasoline tank through a pipe into
20 carburetor, either directly or via
The Washington times., 1919-11-08

another group favored the idea of
'eating the gasoline right in the car
ouretor. Both these methods had
certain disadvantages, from the fact
that IL fuel Is heated before It gets
to the carburetor or even in that in
strument, it still has an excellent
chance Of condensing again on its
way from the carburetor to the COM
bustion chamber, unless additional
means of keeping Ii warmed is pro-
vided. IT this latter is done why not
perform the whole operation after
the gasoline has left the carburetor?
In a number OF recent designs the
'alet and exhaust manifolds have been
placed In close juxtaposition with the
intention of having the heated bases
the latter impart enough warmth
20 the former to keep the fuel thor
1ughly vaporized. In similar designs
he inlet manifold is made to pass
through the exhaust outlet at a sin
gle point. While these designs seem
to give satisfaction, probably the
most efficient method Of handling the
problem is found in the idea of ineor-
Dorating the inlet manifold within
the cylinder block, where II is prac-
tically surrounded by a hot volume
and is close to parts that ordinarily
un hot.
Movable shutter.
Another idea that contributes to
efficient carburetion is found in the

ing. The partial vacuum that is Gre
ated in the cylinders by the movement
of the. piston, lifts the fuel into the
combustion chamber
Now If the fuel is very light and
highly explosive, it flows into the
combustion chamber without trouble.
But when IL is heavy. it does not flow
readily. its rate of flow decreasing as
its weight increases. Everyone knows
that cold tends to thicken oil of any
kind, gasoline as well as others. A
fairly good grade of fuel may leave
the carburetor pretty well colatilized,
but striking a cold surface, as the
metal of an exposed manifolI, IT will
condense on the walls and relatively
little of it will reach the combustion
chamber. This is the problem our
engineers have endeavored to solve.
One of the first methods of improv-
ing the manifold was that. of putting
a Jacket around the intake section at
some position near the cylinders and
passing either heated gases or hot
water around the manifold. Another
method was tried little later of bolt.

inder block. so that the heated pass

enough to vaporiZe the fuel. This lat

now.
