Abstract: A valve and method of purging fuel vapors from a fuel vapor collection canister. The purge valve includes an aperture, a member that is displaced between closed and open configurations with respect to the aperture, and an actuator. The actuator, which displaces the member between the configurations, includes an armature and a stator. The armature is coupled to the member, the stator includes a winding, and the actuator includes a permanent magnet. The purge valve may be directly mounted to the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A purge valve includes an aperture, a member, and an actuator. The aperture defines a portion of a vapor flow path that extends between a first port that communicates vapor with a fuel vapor collection canister and a second port that communicates vapor with an intake manifold. The member is displaced with respect to the aperture between a first configuration wherein the member occludes the aperture and a second configuration that permits vapor flow along the vapor flow path. The actuator displaces the member between the first and second configurations and includes an armature and a stator. The stator includes a winding that extends along an axis. And the armature, which is coupled to the member, surrounds the winding and includes a permanent magnet.
