What is the function of the activated carbon canister?
1 Answers
Automotive activated carbon canister function: absorbs gasoline vapors. The fuel vapors generated in the fuel tank, if not vented, can bulge and damage the tank. If released into the atmosphere, they pollute the air. The material inside the carbon canister absorbs these vapors, temporarily storing them. Under specific engine operating conditions, the computer opens the carbon canister purge valve, allowing these gases to enter the intake manifold to be burned. Notes: 1. The carbon canister may fail after prolonged use, and the carbon canister purge valve in some vehicles may also malfunction. If the carbon canister or its purge valve fails, the vehicle's fuel consumption will increase. 2. During regular use, it is essential to perform periodic maintenance to keep the car in good condition.
