The present disclosure relates to a method for removing residual purge gas in operating an active purge system and includes determining evaporation gas purge stop in a control unit, closing a PCSV mounted on a purge line connecting a canister and an intake pipe, and determining whether all of the evaporation gas flowed into the intake pipe is flowed into a combustion chamber, so that all of the evaporation gas flowed into an intake pipe during travelling can be flowed into and combusted in the combustion chamber.

The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to a system and method of protecting vehicle engines by preventing water from entering the belt drive and/or air intake of the vehicle motor. The disclosed system includes a housing and one or more snorkels that extend in an upward direction from the housing. Each snorkel includes a water sensor that detects the level of water outside of the vehicle. When water reaches the snorkel maximum depth and triggers the sensor, valve within the housing closes to divert water away from the motor. Once the vehicle is back on dry land, the user can reset the valve to the open position.

This compressed air generation system (12) for an automotive vehicle (V) comprises: —a turbocompressor (4) feeding an internal combustion engine (2) of the automotive vehicle (V) with compressed air, —an air compressor (8), —at least one compressed air tank (10) connected to an outlet pipe (82) of the air compressor (8), the air compressor (8) comprising an inlet pipe (80) fed with compressed air from the turbocompressor (4). The compressed air generation system (12) comprises a pressure regulator (14) placed downstream the turbocompressor (4) and upstream the air compressor (8) and which limits the pressure (P8) of the compressed air fed from the turbocompressor (4) to the air compressor (8) to a first threshold (T1).

Upon a predetermined first diagnosis execution condition being met, an electronic control unit executes a first diagnosis process of diagnosing whether an exhaust gas recirculation device has an abnormality based on an amount of change that a measured value of an intake air pressure undergoes as a result of a change in an EGR valve position. When a predetermined second diagnosis execution condition is met and, moreover, the first diagnosis process is not being executed, the electronic control unit executes a second diagnosis process of diagnosing whether an exhaust gas cleaning filter has a fracture based on measured values of an incoming gas temperature and an outgoing gas temperature.

The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to a system and method of protecting the engines of ATVs by preventing excessive water from entering the belt drive and/or air intake of the vehicle motor. The system includes a riser and valve assembly. Each snorkel valve assembly includes one or more water sensors in communication with a valve. When water is detected by the sensors, the valve closes, preventing water from entering the vehicle engine, transmission, air box, clutch housing, and/or any other vented element of the ATV engine. Instead, the water is diverted out of the system through a drain valve. Accordingly, the system prevents water, mud, and the like from entering the main components of the ATV motor.

The compressed air generation system (12) comprises a pressure regulator (14) placed downstream the turbocompressor (4) and upstream the air compressor (8) and which limits the pressure (P8) of the compressed air fed from the turbocompressor (4) to the air compressor (8) to a first threshold (T1).

The hydrogen production system for internal combustion engines includes an intake air scoop, a vacuum block having an air input port system for receiving air from the intake air scoop, a water reservoir connected to the vacuum block for providing water to be mixed with the air in the vacuum block, at least one primary generator assembly with an inlet port for receiving the air/water vapor mixture from the vacuum block and producing a mixture of hydrogen, produced oxygen, and fine hydrogen production vapor from a partially oxidized water fog, and a plurality of secondary hydrogen generator assemblies connected to the primary generator assembly for receiving this mixture. The engine vacuum draws this mixture into the intake manifold to provide an ideal fuel mixture for the engine.

A vehicle includes an internal combustion engine and an air induction system configured to provide intake air to the internal combustion engine. The air induction system includes an intake port, an air box coupled to the intake port and having a wet side air box and a dry side air box, at least one sensor disposed within the air box and configured to detect a presence or level of liquid within the air box, and a watertight door disposed within the air box and configured to move between an open position that allows air to pass through the air box dry side, and a closed position that facilitates preventing liquid from passing into the air box dry side.

A snow bike intake, snow bike conversion kit, and/or air intake pod snow bike conversion kit, having: a throttle body coupling; an elbow-shaped intake duct coupled to the throttle body, a pre-filter body cage coupled at a rear thereof to the duct, and a textile cover fitting about the cage. The duct has an interior angle between 40 and 60 degrees. There are a plurality of flat (interior and exterior surface) sensor mounts disposed about and through the duct, including an octagonal ring of sensor mounts circumscribing the duct body. The cage has a flat front opposite the rear that has a larger diameter than a diameter of the rear. The duct has an aspect ratio of exterior angle length to diameter no greater than 3.5:1 and the duct and prefilter combined has an aspect ratio of exterior angle length to diameter no greater than 4.5:1.

An evaporated fuel processing device that includes a pump configured to supply purge gas, which includes evaporated fuel in a fuel tank, to an intake passage of an engine through a purge passage; a controller configured to control the pump; and a detecting unit configured to acquire a gas amount introduced to the intake passage while the pump is being driven in a stable state where an air amount introduced from open air to the intake passage is stable, and configured to detect, by using change in the acquired gas amount, a state where the purge gas is unable to be normally supplied from the purge passage to the intake passage.
