I - CIRCUIT OVERVIEW

Réaspiration des vapeurs d'huile
Réaspiration des vapeurs d'huile
  1. Rocker cover
  2. Oil vapour suction duct
  3. Oil vapour recirculation valve
  4. Air intake duct
  5. Turbocharger
  6. Atmospheric pressure

A: At low load, the vacuum in the air intake duct is lower than the spring calibration.

Oil vapours are drawn back in large quantities by the vacuum in the air intake duct.

B: At medium and high load, the vacuum in the air intake duct pulls the valve diaphragm, and oil vapours are drawn in small quantities through a calibrated orifice.

II - CHECKING

To ensure correct operation of the emission control system, the oil vapour recirculation circuit must be kept clean and in good condition.
