oai flapper
To expand on Rickman's simple explanation:
Engine shut off, there is no vacuum. With no vacuum, flapper defaults OPEN.
Start engine, there's vacuum. Flapper closes and stays closed under normal cruise conditions where vacuum is high.
Floor the throttle, vacuum drops off and flapper opens, allowing cold (well, ambient temp, still cooler than underhood air) outside air into the aircleaner.
