Question 123Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) ensure one way air flow into the air header. The part labeled "P" in the illustration is likely a check valve or non-return valve. The purpose of this valve is to allow air to flow in one direction from the scavenge air system into the air header, but prevent any backflow from the air header into the scavenge air system. This ensures that the scavenge air is directed properly into the engine cylinders. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the primary function of this valve. Option A refers to boosting the scavenge air pressure, which is a different component's role. Option C describes providing turbulence, which is not the main purpose of this specific part. Option D refers to cooling the scavenge air, which is also not the primary function of this valve.
