HIGH EFFICIENCY COMPRESSOR WITH
INTEGRATED OIL SEPARATOR
High efficiency compressor with integrated oil sepa-
rator has been adopted to enhance fuel economy by
reducing the A/C operating rate.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH WITH THERMAL
FUSE
At the compressor lock, the thermal fuse integrated
in the magnet clutch is blown due to the frictional
heat against the compressor in order to reduce risk
of the drive belt breakage. The thermal fuse, together
with the coil, is coated with resin to enhance resis
-
tance to corrosion.
2-STEP PROFILE COMPRESSOR
The centre area of the scroll in the compressor pro-
vides 2-step profile, and thickness of area "B" shown
in the figure has been increased to enhance
strength. With this feature, thickness of area "A"
shown where lesser load is applied is reduced, thus
compressor performance is enhanced by compress
-
ing refrigerant even in central area, comparing to the
previous model.
CONDENSERM2551001400140
The condenser has been integrated with the radiator (cooling
module) to optimise ventilation and reduce weight.

VENTILATION SYSTEMM2551002000554
Fresh air is sucked from the front deck and
exhausted through the air outlet behind the rear
bumper. Optimizing areas of the outside air induction
hole and the air outlet enhances ventilated air
amount, reducing noise.

GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM2112000101162
This model is equipped with a newly developed 4B11
engine. It is a 4-cylinder, double overhead camshaft
(DOHC) engine with a 2.0-L cylinder displacement.
This engine has adopted the following features:
•MIVEC (MITSUBISHI INNOVATIVE VALVE TIM-
ING ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM) for
both the intake and exhaust valves
•Cylinder block made of an aluminum alloy
•Valve train with direct-acting valve tappets
•Silent timing chain

CYLINDER HEAD
A cylinder head made of an aluminum alloy, which is
lightweight and offers a high level of cooling effi
-
ciency, has been adopted. A pentroof combustion
chamber with a center spark plug has been adopted.
It has a small valve compound angle to realize a
compact chamber.
Cross-flow type intake and exhaust ports have been
adopted. Two intake ports and two exhaust ports are
provided independently on the right and left sides.
Five camshaft bearings are provided at the intake
and exhaust sides, respectively. The No. 4 bearing
sustains the thrust load of the camshaft. Only the No.
1 bearing uses a bearing cap that integrates both the
intake and exhaust sides.
VA LV E S E AT S
Sintered alloy valve seats have been adopted.The oversized (0.3 mm) service parts are available.
VA LV E G U I D E S
Valve guides that are common to both the intake and
exhaust have been adopted.The oversized (0.25 mm) service parts are available.
