发明名称 Microcondenser device and evaporative emission control system and method having microcondenser device
摘要 A microcondenser device for an evaporative emission control system includes a housing having an inlet for receiving fuel vapor and a condensation outlet for discharging condensed fuel vapor, and a porous element disposed in the housing and fluidly interposed between the inlet and the condensation outlet for absorbing the fuel vapor received through the inlet. The microcondenser device further includes a thermoelectric element in thermal contact with the porous element for removing heat from the fuel vapor absorbed by the porous element to condense the fuel vapor.

主权项 1. A microcondenser device for an evaporative emission control system, comprising: a housing having an inlet for receiving fuel vapor and a condensation outlet for discharging condensed fuel vapor; a porous element disposed in the housing and fluidly interposed between the inlet and the condensation outlet for absorbing the fuel vapor received through the inlet: and a thermoelectric element in thermal contact with the porous element for removing heat from the fuel vapor absorbed by the porous element to condense the fuel vapor; wherein the housing has a lower wall and at least one side wall extending upward from the lower wall, the lower wall and the at least one side wall together define a chamber in the housing, the porous element supported by the at least one side wall in spaced relation relative to the lower wall, the porous element received in the chamber, and wherein at least one support baffle supports the porous element within the housing, wherein the at least one supported baffle includes a first baffle and separate second baffle, the first and second baffles defining a condensation chamber located between the condensation outlet and the porous element.
