Method and system for cleaning a charcoal canister of an emissions system using a fuel cell |
| 摘要 |
An evaporative emission control system for a vehicle includes a fuel tank, a vapor collection canister in communication with the fuel tank so as to receive hydrocarbons, a fuel cell in communication with the canister, and a pump constructed and arranged to pump hydrocarbons from the canister to the fuel cell so that the fuel cell can purge the canister by converting the hydrocarbons to water, carbon dioxide and electricity. |

1. An evaporative emission control system for a vehicle comprising:
a fuel tank, a vapor collection canister in communication with the fuel tank so as to receive hydrocarbons, a fuel cell in communication with the canister, and a pump constructed and arranged to pump hydrocarbons from the canister to the fuel cell so that the fuel cell can purge the canister by converting the hydrocarbons to water, carbon dioxide and electricity, wherein the evaporative emission control system is in combination with an internal combustion engine, the fuel tank supplying fuel to the engine, wherein the fuel cell and pump are constructed and arranged to purge the canister without operating the engine. |
