What are the consequences of a blocked exhaust valve?
1 Answers
If the exhaust valve is blocked, the polluted gas will flow back into the air filter, contaminating the filter element and reducing its filtration capacity. The dirty mixed gas being inhaled will further pollute the crankcase, leading to increased fuel consumption, accelerated engine wear, and even engine damage. Below is some information about the exhaust valve: 1. Introduction: The exhaust valve, also known as the oil-gas separator or pressure control valve, is installed between the compressor outlet and the condenser inlet. It improves the heat transfer efficiency in the condenser and evaporator by separating oil and gas. 2. Function: Its purpose is to allow a small portion of the exhaust gas to recirculate into the cylinder for combustion. This small amount of exhaust gas lowers the combustion temperature in the cylinder and reduces the NOX content in the exhaust gas.
