Abstract:
An evaporative emission control canister system comprises an initial adsorbent volume having an effective incremental adsorption capacity at 25 °C of greater than 35 grams n- butane/L between vapor concentration of 5 vol% and 50 vol% n-butane, and at least one subsequent adsorbent volume having an effective incremental adsorption capacity at 25 °C of less than 35 grams n-butane/L between vapor concentration of 5 vol % and 50 vol % n- butane. The evaporative emission control canister system has a two-day diurnal breathing loss (DBL) emissions of no more than 20 mg at no more than 210 liters of purge applied after the 40 g/hr BETP butane loading step.
Abstract:
An invention is disclosed for efficiently improving the working capacity and useful service life of an adsorber system by selectively heating the adsorbent towards the purge outlet of the fluid path.

Abstract:
A method is disclosed for sharply reducing diurnal breathing loss emissions from automotive evaporative emissions control systems by an electrically heatable monolith (32) consisting of nonconductive binder, electrical contact (35) for current flow, and of the group of conductive.adsorbent and conductive additive in-series with an evaporative emission control canister system (31).
