摘要:
An evaporative fuel treatment system is disclosed that includes a canister, a detection passage having a reduced area portion, and switching device that switches fluid communication. Also included is a depressurizing device for depressurizing the detection passage coupled to the detection passage on a side of the reduced area portion opposite to the switching device, and a pressure detecting device. Moreover, the system includes an evaporative fuel state calculating device for calculating an evaporative fuel state in the mixture based on a cutoff pressure, an air pressure, and a mixture pressure of a mixture of air and the evaporative fuel. In one embodiment, the cutoff pressure, the air pressure, and the mixture pressure are detected independently and discontinuously. In another embodiment, the cutoff pressure and the air pressure are detected on a continual basis during purge of the evaporative fuel.

When a gas flow producer is driven, plural kinds of gases flow into a measure-passage at respective timing. An orifice is provided in the measure-passage. The orifice has a diameter-changing portion which restricts a separation of gases from an inner surface of the measure-passage. A pressure sensor is provided in the measure-passage to detect a pressure determined by the orifice and the gas flow producer. A microcomputer calculates a density ratio between the gases based on the detected differential pressure.

A fuel vapor treatment apparatus includes a first canister, a purge passage, an atmosphere passage, a first detection passage provided with a restrictor, and a passage-changing valve for changing the connection passage of the first detection passage between the purge passage and the atmosphere passage. The apparatus further includes a second canister connecting with the first detection passage on the opposite side of the passage-changing valve across the restrictor. A differential pressure sensor detects a pressure difference between both ends of the restrictor. An ECU computes the concentration of fuel vapor on the basis of the detection result of the differential pressure sensor.

A fuel vapor processing apparatus may include a case defining therein a first adsorption chamber, a second adsorption chamber and a non-adsorption chamber communicating between the first adsorption chamber and the second adsorption chamber. The cross sectional flow area of the first adsorption chamber may be smaller than the cross sectional flow area of the second adsorption chamber.

An internal combustion engine control apparatus includes a secondary air supply device having a secondary air supply passage that supplies secondary air pumped by an air pump into an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine and an opening/closing unit that opens and closes the secondary air supply passage. A controller provided in the internal combustion engine control apparatus sets the opening/closing unit in an open condition such that the secondary air is supplied to the secondary air supply passage, and then executes foreign matter removal control in which the opening/closing unit is opened and closed. As a result, foreign matter caught in an ASV during AI control is removed immediately. By implementing OBD after removing the foreign matter, detection of an open sticking abnormality caused by foreign matter caught in the ASV is suppressed.
摘要:
A concentration-detecting unit detects concentration of fuel vapor flowing in a concentration-detecting passage branched from a purge passage. The concentration-detecting passage communicates with a communicating passage of a canister. Air including the fuel vapor of which concentration is detected by a concentration-detecting unit is returned to the communicating passage of the canister. The fuel vapor is adsorbed by an absorbent accommodated in a accommodating chamber to restrict a discharge of the fuel vapor into atmosphere.
摘要:
In an evaporative emission control system, a canister adsorbs fuel vapor sent from a fuel tank of an engine. The canister is connected to an intake air passage through a purge gas passage and a purge control valve. A control circuit employs a pressure sensor to detect the pressure of the canister when the purge control valve is closed and when the pressure of the canister is stabilized. The control circuit carries out a failure diagnosis based on this pressure. Namely, when the pressure of the canister after it is stabilized deviates from the atmospheric pressure by more than a predetermined reference value, the control circuit determines that the canister has failed, i.e., the canister has a leak. Since the diagnosis can be carried out before starting the engine, the diagnosis can be correctly carried out without affecting the operation of the engine.
