may
be
due

THROTTLE
OPENER
CONTROL

SYSTEM

The
function
of
the
throttle

opener
is

to

open
the

throttle
valve
of
carburetor

slightly
in

vehicle
decelera

tion

During
deceleration
manifold
vacuum
rises

and
a

quantity
of
mixture
in
the

enigne
is

not
sufficient
so
that

a
normal
combustion
can
not
continue
and
a

great

amount
of
unburned
HC
is

emitted
The
carburetor

equipped
with
the
throttle

opener
supplies
the

engine

with
an

adequate
charge
of
combustible
mixture
to

keep
proper
combustion

during
deceleration

resulting
in
re

markable
reduction
of

He
emission

The

operation
of
the

throttle

opener
is
as
follows
A

schematic

drawing
of
the

system
is
shown
in

Figure

ET

At
the

moment
when
the
manifold

vacuum
increases

as

occurs

upon
deceleration
the

control
valve

opens
to

transfer
the
manifold

vacuum
to

the
servo

diaphragm

chamber
and
the
throttle
valve
of
the
carburetor

opens

slightly
As
the
vehicle

speed
decreases

above
16

km

10

MPH
for
manual
transmission

only
the
manifold

vacuum
lowers
to
the

predetermined
value
The
vacuum

control
valve

begins
to
close

gradually
keeping
the

manifold

vacuum
at
the

predetermined
constant
value

As
a

result
both
low
HC
emission
and
normal

engine

brake

during
deceleration
are

obtained

The

altitude
corrector
is

provided
with
a

slight
preload

to

compensate
the

variation
of
the

atmospheric
pressure

Vacuum

solenoid

The

purpose
of
this
control
is
to
return
the

speed
of

the

prescribed

To
be

accurate
the

control

prevents
the
throttle

opener
from

taking
normal

operation
when

speed
is
below

16
