摘要:
An adsorbent for adsorbing fuel vapors is disclosed. The adsorbent is to be disposed in an inlet system of an internal combustion engine. It has pores, and 50% by volume or more of the pores have a pore diameter falling in a range of from 1.4 to 2.8 nm. It exhibits a unit pore volume of 0.3 mL or more with respect to 1 mL thereof. It is formed as a particle. It exhibits high performance on adsorbing fuel vapors, and shows high durability even when it is used for long period of time.

A sheet-like adsorption filter formed by sandwiching particulate activated carbon with heat-resistant nets and non-woven fabric sheets that have a percentage of void of 90% or higher, is disposed at an internal combustion engine side of a filter element.

An evaporated fuel adsorbing apparatus for an engine intake passage includes a layer of activated carbon disposed in the engine intake passage for adsorbing evaporated fuel. The activated carbon includes activated carbon pellets having pores. At least one of an average pellet size and an average pore size of the activated carbon is varied in an intake gas flow direction of the engine intake passage. More particularly, an average pore size of a first portion of the activated carbon located in an atmosphere side portion of the layer is greater than an average pore size of a second portion of the activated carbon located in an engine side of the layer. An average pellet size of the first portion of the activated carbon is smaller than an average pellet size of the second portion of the activated carbon.

An intake device for an internal combustion engine has: a first intake pipe which is connected to the engine so as to conduct an intake air to the engine, and which has an opening portion that is provided in an upstream-side lower portion of the first intake pipe located at an upstream side in a flowing direction of the intake air; and a second intake pipe which has a downstream-side end portion that faces an upstream-side end portion of the first intake pipe, with a gap formed therebetween, and which conducts the intake air to the first intake pipe. An unburned gas reflux passage is provided for conducting an unburned gas from the engine to the first intake pipe. A container surrounds the gap and the opening so as to receive the unburned gas flowing from the opening portion. Thus, it becomes possible to prevent release of unburned gas into the atmosphere by performing a simple process on a conventional structure.

An air cleaner includes at least one more installation hole provided in a resin frame of an adsorbent sheet than there are pins and engaging hooks respectively provided in an upper housing.
摘要:
A throttle valve is opened after stopping an engine to prevent the valve from sticking. Then, when a temperature of the valve has become lower than the polymerization temperature, the valve is closed to seal the vapor of the HCs in a surge tank downstream. Changes in the temperature of the valve are, for example, estimated based on a temperature of an intake air detected by an intake temperature sensor.

An absorbent, such as, for example, an active carbon, is provided in an intake air passage, for example, in an air cleaner, to efficiently adsorb fuel vapor. To ensure that fuel vapor adsorbed into the intake air passage can be efficiently desorbed even when there is only a small amount of the intake air, an intake throttle valve is provided upstream of the adsorbent and an opening of the intake throttle valve is throttled so as to decompress an area near the adsorbent. Desorption of fuel vapor also can be efficiently promoted by using a heater to directly heat the adsorbent in the intake air passage or by heating the intake air to indirectly heat the adsorbent.
摘要:
An air filter is substantially made up of a filter element having a pleated filtering portion and a collar portion that extends on an outer periphery of the filtering portion and that has a sealing function, the filtering portion and the collar portion being integrally formed from the same material, and a cap and a case each of which has a flange for clamping the collar portion of the filter element. One of the flange of the cap and the flange of the case has a protruded portion that has an inclined portion. The collar portion of the filter element has a recess portion that contacts the inclined portion of the protruded portion and is guided by the inclined portion and fits to the protruded portion at a predetermined position so as to become set in position.
摘要:
An evaporative fuel adsorbent 32, which adsorbs evaporative fuel, is positioned substantially parallel to a sidewall surface 30 of a surge tank 22. A retention member 34 is positioned between the sidewall surface 22 and evaporative fuel adsorbent 32 to prevent oil, which runs down on the sidewall surface 22, from adhering to the evaporative fuel adsorbent 32. The evaporative fuel adsorbent 32 is mounted on the sidewall surface 30 of the surge tank 22 via the retention member 34.
