Abstract

Air intake and filter systems play a major role in getting air with good quality into the vehicles. It helped to improve the efficiency for combustion and also reduces air pollution. The air intake system is work as to supply the engine with clean and correct amount of air ratio for the required air to burn in the manifold chamber. This paper focuses on modifying the geometry of the air filter cabin in to optimize the model thus, reduce the pressure drop. This research is to analyse the model and pressure drop of Perodua Axia air filter cabin on the intake system. In order to understand the flow behaviour through the air filter cabin, CFD analysis was carried out for an existing model. Based on the results of the existing CFD model, geometric changes such as guide vane placement in the inlet plenum are operated to improve the flow characteristics. The CFD analysis of the optimized and modified model was again carried out and the results showed good improvement in flow behaviour with considerable reduction in pressure drop and significant reduction in recirculation zones inside the air filter cabin. By using the CFD, optimize design of the air filter cabin is achieved with considerable reduction with an improvement of 29% of pressure drop reduction from the original model.
