Engine Description
2-2.11. Induction System
IO-240-A engines feature an updraft induction system. The air throttle is mounted below
the engine. Induction tubes deliver air from the throttle body to the intake ports on top of
the cylinder.
Figure 2-25. IO-240-A Induction System
The IO-240-B downdraft induction system (Figure 2-26), consists of the air throttle and
manifold body mounted on top of the engine. Intake tubes carry induction air from the
manifold to the individual cylinder intake ports. Crossflow design cylinders improve
airflow efficiency through the cylinder head. Air flows from the aircraft air inlet/alternate
air door to the engine cylinders through the Induction System.
