Throttle body (TB) is a component that regulates air to the internal combustion engine (ICE). Butterfly valve type TB is commonly used in the application for most ICE vehicle. The aim of this study is to compare the bore opening area of Butterfly TB (BTB) and Dual Plate Slider TB (DPSTB). Mathematical analysis was done by validation from TB model created using SolidWorks software. Results shows that DPSTB offers better area of opening in every condition observes in this study with no obstruction to airflow at wide open throttle (WOT). The opening area is increased by 8.3, 3.5, 2.3, 1.7, 1.3, and 1.3 times respectively for valve opening condition 1-6. This finding will help ignite idea for TB designer to explores new package of TB design for future ICE.
