CARBON IMPREGNATION OF POROUS DUCTING FOR EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS ABSORPTION

摘要

The present invention discloses a hydrocarbon-removing component for the air intake system of an internal combustion engine which removes hydrocarbons escaping a vehicle when the engine is not in use. The hydrocarbon-removing component of the present invention includes a duct with a hydrocarbon-removing material incorporated in an inner surface. The preferred hydrocarbon-removing material include activated carbon and zeolites.
