  2. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    The first refinement in crankcase ventilation was the road draught tube. This is a pipe running from the crankcase (or the valve cover on an overhead valve engine) down to a downwards-facing open end located in the vehicle's slipstream. When the vehicle is moving, airflow across the open end of the tube creates suction (a "draught" or draft ...

  3. Crankcase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase

    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 ...

  5. Oil catch tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_Catch_Tank

    During normal operation of a car engine, some vapors from the cylinder pass by the piston rings and down into the crankcase. Without ventilation this can pressurize the crankcase and cause issues such as lack of piston ring sealing and damaged oil seals. To avoid this, manufacturers created a crankcase ventilation system. Originally this was ...

  6. Vehicle emissions control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_emissions_control

    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 ...

  7. Manifold vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_vacuum

    Manifold vacuum, or engine vacuum in a petrol engine is the difference in air pressure between the engine's intake manifold and Earth's atmosphere.. Manifold vacuum is an effect of a piston's movement on the induction stroke and the airflow through a throttle in the intervening carburetor or throttle body leading to the intake manifold.

    why is it titled PCV valve when the significant topic is the principle and application of PCV itself? the valve is only a small part of the entire system. there's no dedicated entry for PCV - i propose the article is renamed Positive Crankcase Ventilation and heavily rewritten with direct references and the mistakes corrected. i'm happy to do ...

    1919 Napier Lion II aircraft engine with three cylinder banks. Any design of motor/engine,be it a V or a boxer can be called an "in-line" if it's mounted in-line with the frame/chassis and in-line with the direction of travel of the vehicle.When the motor/engine is across the frame/chassis this is called a TRANSVERSE motor.Cylinder arrangement is not in the description of how the motor/engine ...
