A
Air Intake DuctA pipe or similar used as part of the intake manifold or general system. |
Air LineA pipe that delivers compressed air. |
Air LockA bubble of air in a hydraulic system that can be compressed and therefore reduces the performance or causes failure of the system. |
Air RatchetA ratchet wrench driven by compressed air. |
Air ResistanceFriction force caused by, for example, a vehicle moving through the air. |
Air SprayA system of applying paint in the form of tiny droplets. The paint is broken into droplets (atomised) by a spray gun as a result of being forced into a high velocity air stream. The shape and paint density of the resulting droplet cloud can be controlled by variations in air pressure, paint viscosity and gun tip geometry. |
Air Temperature SensorElectronic device that provides information for engine management systems and frost warning indicator. |
Air-fuel RatioThe air and fuel mixture strength ratio. |
Airflow MeterProvides information to fuel injection system electronic control unit (ECU) on engine load. Measures the mass of air entering an engine. |
Airflow Sensor PlateMechanical fuel injection component that moves in proportion to the air intake and sets fuelling accordingly. |
