Airflow Vector

Airflow Vector has been designing, manufacturing and selling roto-moulded products for more than 30 years. Our extensive experience allows us to create products as varied as Cold Air Induction equipment, Cold Air Induction Air Cleaners, Snorkels, Portable Toilet Systems, Weather-proof Storage Boxes and many others, developed by our R & D section.

We have been selling snorkels nationally and internationally for more than 35 years, and manufacturing them for more than 25 years. During that time we have undertaken a comprehensive study program into mould design, mould making, manufacturing techniques using the latest in Computer Aided Design and, where necessary, even Imaging Technology. Our facilities now allow us to design a custom solution for any application individually, and to use computer simulations both for the manufacturing phase and to test the efficiency of the design, e.g., in the case of snorkel design, the airflow characteristics.

Our expertise in this field of application is coupled with our understanding of air flow. Our recent models provide a new technique called Cold Air Induction provided by our proprietary ACAIS system.

ACAIS

A combustion engine needs air and fuel to operate. The more oxygen that flows into the intake manifold, the more efficient is the combustion.

ACAIS harvests fresh air at roof level where it is least disturbed. This air contains less contaminant and is cooler than air absorbed from the engine bay. When the air is cooler, it contains more oxygen. Modern vehicles are fitted with engine management systems; these are computers which measure accurately in real-time all inputs available to the engine to improve its efficiency. Consequently, the availability of cooler air inflow results in more power and torque.

Three main parts constitute an ACAIS: a “hat” that we call the “Air Ram”, a snorkel tube that we call the “Body” and an air filter called the PACC. These three parts are designed to complement each other in their efficiency.

COLD AIR INDUCTION EFFECT

This effect improves fuel efficiency while also improving also engine power.  The snorkel is over-sized to provide air storage. Consequently, pressurised air is immediately available for the engine.
