Activated carbon
canisters are a vital component in the automotive industry’s environmental
efforts, helping to prevent the release of harmful gasoline vapors into the
atmosphere. These canisters are designed to capture and store fuel vapors from
the vehicle’s fuel system, ensuring that they do not escape into the
environment.
The pressure
compensation line connects the charcoal-activated canisters to the fuel tank
ventilation system, while the synchronization valve is positioned between the
intake pipe and the canister. When the lambda control system is activated, the
process valve opens, and the line connecting the intake manifold to the
activated charcoal canister is disengaged. This allows vacuum-sucked air to
flow through the activated carbon, effectively flushing it out. The captured
fuel vapors are then transferred back to the engine, where they are burned
during the combustion process, reducing emissions and supporting cleaner
operation of the vehicle.
Cabin Air
Filter
Cabin air filters are essential components in a vehicle's ventilation system, typically located in the outside-air intake before the air conditioning system, allowing fresh air to enter the passenger compartment. These filters usually feature a non-woven medium combined with an activated carbon layer. Their primary function is to purify the air drawn from the road and into the vehicle’s interior through the ventilation or conditioning system.
