how ICE engine suck its air

1.52K viewsEngineeringOther

How does an engine “suck” in air? Like during the intake stroke it goes down which creates a low pressure area and the air rushes in. But how does all that work? How does the piston going down allow air to be pulled in? LOL please explain it as simple TY!

So, as the piston is on the downstroke, the inlet valve is open and draws air/fuel into the combustion chamber. This lowers the pressure in the airbox, inlet and drawers fresh air in to replace it.

Hope this makes sense.
