A carbon canister includes a main body with a chamber containing activated carbon, an end cover mounted to the main body, the end cover and the main body enclosing and forming a cavity, the end cover having a desorption port for connecting with and engine, a Venturi tube mounted in the cavity and including an inlet segment, and a throat and a back suction tube. An inner diameter of the throat is smaller than an inner diameter of the inlet segment. The inlet segment communicates with the activated carbon containing chamber, the throat communicates with the desorption port, the back suction tube connects to the throat, and the back suction tube extends to the bottom of the cavity. Thereby, a negative pressure is created, the fuel collected within the carbon canister is desorbed to the engine so that the fuel utilization is improved, and the exhaust emission is reduced.

An air intake system for a combustion engine includes an air intake duct in fluid communication with an engine intake manifold and a conduit component inserted into the air intake duct along a first assembly direction. The air intake system also includes a hydrocarbon (HC) trap secured to the conduit component within the air intake duct. The conduit component defines at least one retention feature to maintain a position of the HC trap such that removal of the HC trap from the air intake duct results in structural compromise of the at least one retention feature. The air intake duct is also configured to shield the at least one retention feature from user access to inhibit user removal of the HC trap.

Some implementations can include a desiccant breather having an inner pipe having a top portion with a lip extending radially from the inner pipe, the inner pipe having a threaded portion and a top connector. The desiccant breather can also include an outer pipe having a diameter sufficient to accommodate the inner pipe, the outer pipe having a bottom connector and a cap. The desiccant breather can further include a desiccant breather body portion having a cavity configured to hold desiccant material. The lip of the inner pipe can have a diameter equal to or greater than a diameter of the outer pipe.

Disclosed herein is an air cleaner which performs dust collection and sterilization as well as deodorization while having a small size enough to be fitted into a vehicle cup holder for its use, and has a strong and easy maintenance structure. The air cleaner includes a photocatalytic UV LED (57) installed on an UV LED substrate (55), and a photocatalytic filter installed on a surface facing the photocatalytic UV LED while being spaced apart from the UV LED substrate. The photocatalytic filter has a structure in which a photocatalytic material is coated on a base in which a plurality of cells (83) defining an air flow path in a direction toward the photocatalytic UV LED are arranged in parallel adjacent to each other.

A drying device comprising a regenerable desiccant medium that is effective to adsorb water without absorption of gaseous analyte species in an introduced ambient air stream is described. The drying device can be used with a thermal desorption device to remove water vapor from gaseous analyte species prior to analysis of the gaseous analyte species. Systems including a drying device are also described.

An oxygen generation device having a compressed air supply device, air cooling coil, a fan, pneumatic valve system, a housing, at least one media insert, an on-off switch, a printed circuit board, and a touch screen. The pneumatic valve system includes an air inlet port, a first air outlet port connected to the inlet of the first media insert, a second air outlet port connected to the inlet of the second media insert. The air inlet port receives compressed air from the compressed air supply device and alternatingly provides the compressed air to one of the first media insert and the second media insert. The lower housing includes check valve ball moveable between the first position and the second position and alternatingly controlling a flow of compressed air through the first media insert and the second media insert.

Systems, devices and methods for submarine CO.sub.2 scrubbing are disclosed. The system may comprise an assembly including a sorbent, a scrubbing inlet configured to receive a first airflow during an adsorption mode. The first airflow may comprise air received from a cabin of a submarine. The assembly may be configured to flow the first airflow over and/or through the sorbent during the adsorption mode such that the sorbent removes a portion of CO.sub.2 entrained in the first airflow. The system may also include a scrubbing outlet configured to expel the scrubbed first airflow from the assembly into the cabin. The system may include an outside air inlet configured to receive a second airflow comprising outside air during a regeneration mode. The system may include a regeneration air outlet in configured to expel the second airflow after the second airflow has flowed over and/or through the sorbent during the regeneration mode.

The present invention is a sorbent-based atmosphere revitalization (SBAR) system using treatment beds each having a bed housing, primary and secondary moisture adsorbent layers, and a primary carbon dioxide adsorbent layer. Each bed includes a redirecting plenum between moisture adsorbent layers, inlet and outlet ports connected to inlet and outlet valves, respectively, and bypass ports connected to the redirecting plenums. The SBAR system also includes at least one bypass valve connected to the bypass ports. An inlet channel connects inlet valves to an atmosphere source. An outlet channel connects the bypass valve and outlet valves to the atmosphere source. A vacuum channel connects inlet valves, the bypass valve and outlet valves to a vacuum source. In use, one bed treats air from the atmosphere source while another bed undergoes regeneration. During regeneration, the inlet, bypass, and outlet valves sequentially open to the vacuum source, removing accumulated moisture and carbon dioxide.

Disclosed is a canister for a vehicle having an auxiliary canister, which includes: a main canister that has an inlet and an outlet formed therein, an evaporation gas being introduced into the main canister through the inlet from a fuel tank and the evaporation gas introduced through the inlet being discharged through the outlet to the intake side of an engine when the engine is driven, and has a trapping member therein; and an auxiliary canister that is installed to communicate with the main canister to allow external air to be introduced into the main canister or to allow the evaporation gas to flow when the engine is turned off, and has a second trapping member therein, wherein the auxiliary canister includes the second trapping member therein, which has a plurality of pores in the form of a honeycomb.

A system and method of pre-purification of a feed gas stream is provided that is particularly suitable for pre-purification of a feed air stream in cryogenic air separation unit. The disclosed pre-purification systems and methods are configured to remove substantially all of the hydrogen, carbon monoxide, water, and carbon dioxide impurities from a feed air stream and is particularly suitable for use in a high purity or ultra-high purity nitrogen plant. The pre-purification systems and methods preferably employ two or more separate layers of hopcalite catalyst with the successive layers of the hopcalite separated by a zeolite adsorbent layer that removes water and carbon dioxide produced in the hopcalite layers. Alternatively, the pre-purification systems and methods employ a hopcalite catalyst layer and a noble metal catalyst layer separated by a zeolite adsorbent layer that removes water and carbon dioxide produced in the hopcalite layer.
