DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter relates to a motor vehicle. More particularly, the present subject matter is a canister assembly of a motor vehicle.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Over the past few years, the investment and market viability of the fuel efficient vehicle are growing in a wide range because of high costs of fossils-based fuel. To this end, much attention has also been paid to the design and development of an induction system. At the same time, there exists a continuous challenge for automotive manufacturers to improve the durability of the induction system within minimum space / size of the vehicle as well as at a reduced cost and weight impact.
[0003] Ideally, fuel system should be completely closed to prevent any vapor escape. However, it is evident form the fact that under extreme conditions like heat and cold which affects the pressure inside the fuel tank generally fuel tank head space. Hence there arises a need for venting and vacuum pressure relief functions to limit the positive and negative pressure inside the fuel tank respectively. During introduction of fuel into the combustion chamber the air is introduced inside the headspace of the fuel tank to limit the magnitude of the negative tank pressure, generally such venting and vacuum relief functions performed through valves.
[0004] However, it is observed that, when the vent being left open to atmosphere, the water or dust ingresses in the fuel tank through the vent. More specifically, water or dust ingression happens due to suction force being created when fuel withdrawn from the fuel tank through a fuel pump and air occupies the space in the fuel tank. The water or dust ingression in the fuel tank reduces the flow of fuel through a fuel filter. This deteriorates the engine performance, and require frequent service or even replacement of the fuel filter. Further, water and dust ingression can lead to clogging of the fuel filter. The clogging of the fuel filter is the critical safety risk as it can switch off the engine which can lead to an accident.
[0005] Further, evaporative emissions are bound to occur from the vent by very basic physical properties of the gasoline fuels. The gasoline fuel has propensity to vaporize at room temperatures within respective fuel tank and this emission needs to be purged to avoid undue pressure development in the fuel tank.
[0006] To address aforementioned issues, typically manufacturers look for implementing a canister assembly. Bigger the size of the canister, the higher the emissions can be adsorbed. Such canister solutions bring with them additional components like hoses, valves etc. which need to be packaged in the same vehicle without compromising on the size of the vehicle as well as minimize cost impact. Therefore, there exists a continuous challenge for automotive manufacturers to address the evaporative emissions as well as avoid discharge of the same into the atmosphere within minimum space / size of the vehicle as well as at a reduced cost and weight impact. While for four wheeled vehicles, the degree of freedom of space available as well as weight and cost impact in proportion to the vehicle is relatively small, the challenge is particularly significant for a three wheeled vehicle where impact on compactness, weight & cost become critical.
[0007] Keeping in light of the preceding aspects and the challenges involved in designing a vehicle configured to have an evaporative emission control system, it is a desirable to provide an evaporative fuel recycle system for two or three wheeled saddle- ride type vehicle which is easy to assemble or dis-assemble giving it flexibility to overcome packaging constraints, meet layout requirement and as well as operate efficiently. But, such design systems often involves critical design changes in the vehicle layout and components which is crucial while manufacturing the internal combustion engine as well as many essential parts.
[0008] Hence, there exists a challenge of designing an efficient evaporative fuel control system where the vehicle being configured to have a rear mounting engine, and the fuel tank being positioned close to a driver seat due to layout constraints. This architecture largely effects the purging of the canister assembly. Further, it increases the hose length required to connect the fuel tank with the engine. Therefore, required plurality of hose guiding and supporting means. This increases the overall weight and size of the canister assembly.
[0009] To this end, there is a need to provide a vehicle that will meet the common requirements including compact size, low weight, low cost, high durability and reliability, while overcoming all the above problems & other problems of the known art. The aforementioned disadvantages of the prior arts are solved by the present invention which provides a vehicle. The vehicle is advantageously used striving to meet customer expectations by providing a low cost and safe vehicle.
[00010] According to the present subject matter to attain the above-mentioned requirements, in one aspect of the invention relates to the three or four wheeled vehicle.
