What does the PVC valve in a car mean?
1 Answers
The PVC valve in a car is a component of the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system in the engine, consisting of a valve body, valve, valve cover, and spring. Below are the main functions of the PVC valve in a car: 1. Conduit: It directs gases from the crankcase into the intake manifold through the PCV valve, with a small amount of air entering the intake manifold directly from the air filter via the PCV valve. 2. Preventing various issues: It helps avoid phenomena such as throttle icing, incomplete combustion, and worsening emissions, while also preventing blow-by gases from entering the atmosphere and preventing engine oil from deteriorating.
