Where is the carbon canister located in a car?
1 Answers
The carbon canister in a car is generally installed between the fuel tank and the engine. Since gasoline is a volatile liquid, the fuel tank is often filled with vapor at normal temperatures. The fuel evaporation emission control system functions to direct these vapors into the combustion process and prevent them from evaporating into the atmosphere. The activated carbon canister storage device plays a crucial role in this process. The carbon canister is part of the gasoline evaporation control system, which is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere after the engine stops running. The working principle is that after the engine starts, the solenoid valve between the activated carbon canister and the intake manifold opens, allowing the gasoline vapors in the activated carbon canister to be drawn into the cylinder by the vacuum in the intake pipe, where they mix with clean air and participate in combustion.
