Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of carbon canisters, and in particular to a carbon canister for an ultra-low desorption volume engine. Background Art

[0002] In order to reduce the pollution of motor vehicle oil and gas emissions to the environment, all fuel-burning vehicles use the ORVR system, which has higher requirements on the carbon canister's ability to absorb oil vapor. The larger carbon canister volume can effectively control the evaporative emissions during the refueling process of motor vehicles. If the carbon canister cannot be cleaned and desorbed in a timely and effective manner, the carbon canister's day and night evaporative emissions will increase. my country's environmental protection regulations have increasingly stringent requirements on this limit. The amount of engine desorption is a very important factor in determining whether the carbon canister can be cleaned and desorbed.

[0003] At the same time, with the widespread use of low-desorption engines such as low-displacement and turbocharged engines, it has become very difficult to reduce the evaporative emissions of carbon canisters of low-desorption models. Today's carbon canister manufacturers often use expensive carbon powder or honeycomb rods that meet low emission requirements to solve this problem. However, if such a design relies solely on the adsorption capacity of carbon powder or honeycomb rods without adding any structure to increase the desorption rate of the carbon canister, the desorption efficiency of the carbon canister will be low.

[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome the shortcomings and defects in the background technology, the present invention provides a carbon canister for an ultra-low desorption volume engine. During the operation of the engine, the carbon powder is heated by a heating module composed of a resistance wire to improve the desorption efficiency and realize the desorption of the carbon canister of the engine with ultra-low desorption volume.
