Vacuum Pump: Description and Operation



Vacuum Pump

Increased engine dethrottling means that the vacuum supply is no longer sufficient for unfavourable underlying conditions, e.g. low external air pressure at high altitudes and highly dynamic driving. A mechanical single-vane pump driven by the camshaft is used for this reason.







The pump delivery rate is -> volume: 260 cm3 /revolution.
