A crankcase ventilation system (CVS) removes unwanted gases from the crankcase of an internal combustion engine. The system usually consists of a tube, a one-way valve and a vacuum source (such as the inlet manifold). The unwanted gases, called "blow-by", are gases from the combustion chamber which have leaked past the piston rings. Early ...
A crankcase is the housing in a piston engine that surrounds the crankshaft. In most modern engines, the crankcase is integrated into the engine block. Two-stroke engines typically use a crankcase-compression design, resulting in the fuel/air mixture passing through the crankcase before entering the cylinder(s). This design of the engine does ...
The first effort at controlling pollution from automobiles was the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system. This draws crankcase fumes heavy in unburned hydrocarbons – a precursor to photochemical smog – into the engine's intake tract so they are burned rather than released unburned from the crankcase into the atmosphere. Positive ...
Inside the airbox of an Alfa Romeo Montreal Motorcycle airbox on a V-2 engine.. An airbox is an empty chamber on the inlet of most combustion engines. It collects air from outside and feeds it to the intake hoses of each cylinder.
A sleeve valve takes the form of one (or in the case of double sleeve valves, two) machined cylinders which fit concentrically between the piston and the cylinder block bore of an internal combustion engine having cross-flow induction/exhaust.
How Much Is Chipotle Raising Prices? All across America, everything at Chipotle is going to cost 2% more now. Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, the whole shebang.
Acting director of the Secret Service Ronald Rowe entered into a shouting match with GOP Rep. Pat Fallon after a line of questioning touched on 9/11.
it also needs mention of PCV replacement - practiced by most, if not all, performance engine tuners - whereby the PCV system is substituted with an oil catch can and usually a breather filter venting crankcase gases to atmosphere instead of recirculating via the intake. - AL LOCKE | talk 06:07, 11 September 2008 (UTC) Quite right.
