Positive Crankcase Ventilation
Structure and Operation
This system returns blow-by gas to the intake manifold.The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve is provided to conduct crankcase blow-by gas to the intakemanifold.
During partial throttle operation of the engine, the intake manifold sucks the blow-by gas through the PCV valve.
Normally, the capacity of the valve is sufficient to handle any blow-by and a small amount of ventilating air.The ventilating air is drawn from the air inlet tubes into the crankcase. In this process the air passes throughthe hose connecting air inlet tubes to rocker cover. Under full-throttle condition, the manifold vacuum is insufficient to draw the blow-by flow through the valve.The flow goes through the hose connection in the reverse direction.
