The object of the system is t3 reduce the amount of unburnt hydrocarbons and the amount of CO in the exhaust
( approximately 2 to 3
of CO ) by injectinq air under pressure into the exhaust manifold
OPERATION :
As the enqine rotates air pump ( 12) supplies the air injectors located near the exhaust valves: flap ( 13 )
prevents the exhaust fumes from entering the air pump and air supply duct assembly.
There are two cases where it is necessary to stop the injection of air into the exhaust manifold.
1. During deceleration :
Durinq fast deceleration. the mixture becomes richer combustion is incomplete and the injection of air is
stopped in order to avoid a second combustion takinq
place in the exhaust system ( which would result in
back-firinq ) Durinq deceleration there is extreme low pressure downstream of the butterfly ( 1 ). This in
turn draws in for a short period of time the diaphragm in valve ( 11 )
The air supplied by pump ( 12 ) is released into the atmosphere, the calibrated hole (( a 1) on the diaphragm
balances the pressure on either side of it and the diaphraqm returns to its initial position, allowinq air to
be once more injected into the exhaust manifold
2. With the choke out, for an engine coolant temperature of above 45’ + 3’ C, and whenever the coolant tempe-
rature remains above 35’ i “,I C.
In this situation the quantities of unburnt hydrocarbons and CO are very considerable It ‘is therefore necessary
to stop the injection of air into the exhaust manifold so as to avoid any excessive increase of temperature in
the manifold. On CX 2000 vehicles, injkction of air will be stopped when the enqine water temperature reaches
45” + 3- C Thermal switch ( 8 ) opens, relay ( 9 )
1s no lonqer enerqized. but electro-valve ( 7 ) remains live
( relay lead ). and is earthed via the choke control
The air pressure at the outlet of air-pump ( 12 )
increases the effect of the low pressure on the diaphraqm in
valve ( 11 ) ( the air pressure is felt above the diaphraq,m, and the low pressure produced by the carburettor (2)
is felt below the diaphraqm ). the slidinq valve in the duct chanqes position and the air is expelled into the
atmogphere If the choke ( 10) is pushed back in air is once again injected into the exhaust manifold
DEVICE FOR OPENING THE BUTTERFLY :
The object of the device is to maintain combustion during sudden deceleration up to an enqine speed
of
Nd 7 1800 + 100 rpm.
Durinq deceleration for any enqine speed above Nd, the electronic tachometer housinq ( 6 ) earths the
windinq of relay ( 5) Therefore the H PIERBURG 1) electro-valve ( 4) is no lonqer enerqized. Electro-
valve ( 4) is then under low-pressure, below the diaphragm of the device ( 3 ) for opening the butterfly
When the decreasinq enqine speed falls below
Nd, the electronic tachometer housing (6 ) cuts out the
earth of the winding in relay ( 5) Therefore the (( PIERBURG )) electro-valve ( 4) is enerqized The
electro-valve is no lonqer under low pressure below the diaphraqm of the device (3) for openinq the
butterfly the throttle butterfly returns to it s stop aqainst the idlinq speed adjustment screw. The dia-
phraqm of the device (3) for openinq the butterfly will once aqain be affected by low pressure ( under
the control of the electronic tachometer housing ) once the increasing engine speed reaches
NC ~ Nd t 50 to 250 rpm

When the engine is cold, fuel settles on the inlet distribution chamber, and on the cylinder walls. Therefore, the
quantity of fuel which mixes with the inlet air is smaller than in an engine which has reached normal running
temperature. The mixture thus obtained will not ignite.
The cold-start injector enriches the mixture in each inlet duct by vaporizing fuel in the inlet manifold. However,
it only comes into operation when the starter motor is actuated, and when a thermal switch located inthe engine
coolanthas simultaneously closed the circuit.
‘A helicoidal spring compresses the mobile core of,the electro-magnet and its seal fuel cannot pass through.
When the magnetic core is attracted, the injector seat is freed-off, the fuel flows past the core. and.reached the
spiral effect injector, which injects the fuel, simultaneously giving it a spiral motion, and vaporizing it very finely. ‘THERMAL SWITCH
The thermal switch cuts out the operation of the cold-start injector when the temperature of the engine reaches
ir 35” C,,For any temperature below t 35’ C, the thermal switch limits the duration of injection. The maximum
duration is approximately 7.5 sets. at - 20’ C. Duration of injection is reduced as temperature increases
The variation in duration, determined by the thermal switch,.is obtained by means of a bi-metallic strip heated
by an electrical resistance. The bi-metallic strip cuts out the circuit according to the temperature reached after
it has heated for a certain amount of time.

SUPPLEMENTARY AIR CONTROL ( 1 ) :
I’ / -...’ , _, ._,, ! .’ ! . .
At idling speed and when cold, the engine must produce more torque so as to counteract increased resistance
caused by friction. In addition to an enriched air fuel mixture, the engine also needs, when starting from cold
and during the warming-up period, to be supplied with supplementary air. The E.C.U. compensates for this
supplementary air by providing more fuel; the engine therefore has a larger amount of mixture at its disposal
to reach normal running temperature. The supplementary air control fitted in parallel with the throttle butterfly
supplies the supplementary air. The supplementary air control is heated only when the engine is running, and
its heater winding is supplied electrically as long as the ignition is switched on.
The location of the supplementary air control ‘on the engine block was selected for its good heat transfer charac-
teristics, and so as to subject the unit to the changing ambient temperature of the engine.
The opening section of the supplementary air control is automatically .adjusted according to the temperature, so
that the required idling speed is maintained regardless of engine temperature. When the latter increases, the air
channel is gradually reduced, until it is completely closed when the coolant temperature reaches approximately
+ 60” C. ->.:.. .-. : --.
,
The supplementary air control is situated at a representative spot fo.r engine running temperature. A bi-metal
spring actuates a rotary valve thereby altering the size of the air passage. Electric heating has the advantage
of allowing the. supplementary air to be adjusted at pre-set times. SWITCH ON THROTTLE BUTTERFLY SPINDLE :
,‘1 3 >_
The switch on the throttle butterfly spindle contains two contacts the idling speed contact, and the.full load contact.
The control contact, which.slides along a slot, closes the idling speed contact or the full load contact for a given
position of ‘the butterfly. The’ E.C.U. analyses the signals received so as to adjust the duration of injection.
