The Malossi Ø 19 reed valve intake manifold for Piaggio Ape 50cc is an essential component for the proper functioning of the engine. This intake manifold serves as an access corridor for the air-fuel mixture in the engine, through the reed valve.
The overall performance of the engine depends on various factors, including volumetric, thermodynamic, and mechanical efficiency. Volumetric efficiency represents the ratio between the amount of mixture entering the combustion chamber and the engine displacement.
One of the main influences on volumetric efficiency is friction loss that occurs during the path of the mixture from the air filter to the combustion chamber. The intake manifold plays a fundamental role in minimizing this loss, avoiding sudden increases in section and sharp edges along the mixture path.
In addition, the intake manifold also acts as a reservoir for the fresh charge, allowing the mixture to accumulate and compress against the reeds when the reed valve closes. Each manifold has a specific range of RPM in which it offers maximum efficiency (tuned manifold).
The manifold also serves the purpose of connecting the carburetor to the engine crankcase or cylinder, and can dampen vibrations transmitted from the crankcase to the carburetor, preventing fuel and air emulsion in the carburetor float bowl.
Malossi technicians have dedicated considerable study in the design of this component, in order to fully exploit all its qualities. Malossi, with its decades of experience in engine fuel systems, has developed a new line of rubber and aluminum alloy manifolds for the new generation of scooters. These manifolds have been tested and developed by the Malossi experience department, both on the road and on race circuits.
Malossi rubber manifolds feature a composite structure, with an aluminum insert embedded in a plastic material resistant to oils and fuels. This ensures remarkable rigidity in the mounting base to the crankcase and good elasticity of the manifold body.
