FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS
The main components of the blow-by gas ventilation system are as follows:
| Components | Quantity | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure Control Valve | 1 | Maintains a constant vacuum in the cylinder block sub-assembly. For details, see the 1WW Engine Mechanical section. |
| Oil Separator | 1 | Collects oil mist in the blow-by gas, reducing the oil consumption. For details, see the 1WW Engine Mechanical section. |
SYSTEM CONTROL
The amount of airflow through the cylinder block sub-assembly (blow-by gas introduction volume) is controlled in accordance with the engine operating conditions.
FUNCTION
By introducing blow-by gas that has a large amount of HC into the intake manifold for combustion, the system prevents the blow-by gas from being discharged into the atmosphere.
The generated blow-by gas is separated from the engine oil using the oil separator and flows to the pressure control valve. The blow-by gas is drawn into the intake pipe from the pressure control valve and burned in each cylinder. For details of the oil separator and pressure control valve, see the 1WW Engine Mechanical section.
