Kia Sportage: Emission Control System / Description and operation
Emissions Control System consists of three major systems.
| • |
The Crankcase Emission Control System prevents blow-by gas from releasing
into the atmosphere. This system recycles gas back into the intake manifold
(Closed Crankcase Ventilation Type).
|
| • |
The Evaporative Emission Control System prevents evaporative gas from
releasing into the atmosphere. This system burns gas at appropriate
engine operating condition after gathering it in the canister.
|
| • |
The Exhaust Emission Control System converts the three pollutants [hydrocarbons
(HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)] into harmless
substances by using the 3-way catalytic converter.
