Description

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.
