  • Air control module
    Patent number: 7594500
    Abstract: An air control module comprises a canister purge valve, a vapor blocking valve, a canister vent valve and a housing, wherein at least a portion of the canister purge valve, the vapor blocking valve, and the canister vent valve are disposed within the housing. The housing may optionally include three ports fluidly coupled to the canister purge valve, the vapor blocking valve, and the canister vent valve respectively. The canister purge valve may be fluidly coupled to an atmospheric vent and an evaporation canister (which may be mechanically coupled to the housing of the air control module) for controlling the passage of fuel vapor from the evaporator canister to an engine. The vapor blocking valve may be fluidly coupled to a fuel tank and the evaporation canister, while the canister vent valve may be fluidly coupled to an engine and the evaporation canister. The housing may optionally include an air filter fluidly coupled to the canister vent valve.
