HEAT STORAGE MEMBER FOR CANISTER

摘要

A heat storage member housed in a canister together with an adsorbent capable of adsorbing fuel vapor has a sealed container and a phase-change material housed in the sealed container. The phase-change material becomes semisolid gel state at the melting point of the phase-change material. The phase-change material is disposed along an entire inner surface of the sealed container such that a space capable of compensating for volume alteration of the phase-change material caused by phase-change is formed at a center of an inner space of the sealed container.
