  • Publication number: 20210131906
    Abstract: A leak detection apparatus performing leak detection with suppressing energy consumption includes a leak detection section performing the leak detection of detecting occurrence or non-occurrence of purge gas leakage in an evaporative-emission pipe based on a tank inside pressure measured by a pressure sensor by evaporating a fuel, which has been atomized by an atomizer or an ultrasonic wave generator, by a heater in a state in which the evaporative emission pipe is air-tightly sealed by a purge valve and an atmosphere open/close valve.

  • Publication number: 20210062768
    Abstract: An evaporated fuel processing device configured to supply purge gas into an intake passage through which air to be suctioned into an engine passes. The evaporated fuel processing device may include a canister in which the purge gas including evaporated fuel is generated; a purge pump configured to discharge the purge gas toward the intake passage from the canister; a measurement unit configured to measure a temperature of the purge gas discharged from the purge pump; an estimation unit configured to estimate a temperature of the purge gas to be discharged from the purge pump based on an index other than the temperature measured by the measurement unit; and a controller. The controller may be configured to compare the measured temperature measured by the measurement unit with a reference temperature that is higher by a predetermined degree than the temperature estimated by the estimation unit.
