摘要： An evaporated fuel adsorbed by an adsorbing member of a canister is compulsively desorbed by driving of a purge pump and is introduced into an intake passage of an internal combustion engine. In this instance, intake pulsation of the intake passage of an internal combustion engine is introduced into a driving chamber of the purge pump and a partition is moved, so that the capacity of a pump chamber is varied. In other words, the purge pump conducts its pump operation by utilizing the movement of the partition resulting from the introduction of intake pulsation of the intake passage of the internal combustion engine, and a power loss can be thus reduced. When a pressure difference is small between the intake pressure inside the intake passage of the internal combustion engine and the pressure on the canister side, too, a desired purge flow rate can be secured in accordance with the operating condition of the internal combustion engine.

摘要： A fuel vapor leakage inspection apparatus utilizes a fuel tank, an adsorption container which houses an adsorbent for adsorbing fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank, and an exhaust device for communicating between the adsorption container and an intake pipe. Furthermore, the apparatus utilizes a pressure means that pressurizes or depressurizes a fuel vapor path formed from the fuel tank through the adsorption container to the exhaust device. A leakage detection means detects leakage from the fuel vapor path after the fuel vapor path is pressurized or depressurized by the pressure means while a calculation means calculates an amount of fuel vapor adsorbed, and a control means determines if the pressure means should execute leakage inspection of the fuel vapor path in accordance with the amount of the fuel vapor calculated by the calculation means.

摘要： An apparatus detects leak in a fuel vapor treatment system which is referred to as an evaporation system. The apparatus measures a required time T2 that is required for decreasing pressure in the evaporation system from P0 to P1 while opening a base leak hole that provides known amount of leak. Then, a required time T1 that is required for decreasing pressure from P0 to P1 is measured while closing the base leak hole. The apparatus compares the required times T1 and T2 in order to detect a leak other than the base leak hole. In this process, a specified coefficient that is defined in accordance with the base leak hole is taken into consideration. It is possible to detect the leak of the evaporation system with high accuracy even when the amount of remaining fuel is extremely large.

摘要： When purge control of fuel vapor, which is released from a fuel tank and is then adsorbed and retained in a fuel adsorption layer of a canister, is performed through ON/OFF control of a purge valve, ON/OFF of a heater plate received in the canister is controlled based on a purge fuel vapor concentration estimated through air-fuel ratio control operation of an engine. In this way, a sensor for measuring the purge fuel vapor concentration of the fuel vapor conducted from the canister to an intake passage of the engine can be eliminated.

摘要： In a double-acting diaphragm pump, a diaphragm is provided to divide a pump body into two pump chambers. An electromagnetic-type reciprocating actuator is provided in a housing hermetically integrated with the pump body. Different from an electric-type pump, the actuator is integrally mounted on the double-acting diaphragm pump and an entire system is hermetically sealed. Therefore, even if the diaphragm is torn, fuel vapor is prevented from leaking outside. Additionally, four check valves are provided to control the discharge of vapor from a canister side to an engine side. These check valves may employ a reed to control vapor flow or a spring and plate to control flow. In addition, since the pump may be a double-acting type, a large discharge volume is obtained and the pump can be made smaller. The pump may also be a non double-acting type.

摘要： A pump generates a gas flow within a measurement passage having an orifice. A differential pressure sensor detects a pressure difference between both ends of the orifice. Switching valves are disposed in the measurement passage to create a first concentration measurement state in which the measurement passage is opened at both ends thereof and the gas flowing through the measurement passage is the atmosphere, and a second concentration measurement state in which the measurement passage is in communication at both ends thereof with a canister and the gas flowing through the measurement passage is a fuel vapor-containing air-fuel mixture provided from the canister. An ECU calculates a fuel vapor concentration by based on a pressure difference detected in the first concentration measurement state and a pressure difference detected in the second concentration measurement state.
