Secondary air system

Secondary air system,
function/components
The secondary air system permits faster warm-up

and thus makes the catalytic converter ready for
operation sooner after cold starting.
Principle
Due to over-enrichment of the mixture in the cold

start phase, there is an increased amount of
unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas. The
injection of secondary air improves the oxidation in
the catalytic converter and thus reduces emissions.
The heat produced by secondary oxidation reduces
start-up time for the catalytic converter therefore
improving the emission quality in the cold-running
phase.

Function
During the cold running phase, the engine

control module -6- actuates the secondary air
injection pump -1- via the secondary air
injection pump relay -5-. Air reaches the
combination valve for the secondary air inlet -3-.
Parallel to this the secondary air inlet valve -8-
is actuated, which allows the vacuum to reach
the combination valve for secondary air inlet -3-.
The combination valve for secondary air inlet
thus allows the secondary air to enter the
exhaust ducts of the cylinder head -9-.
