  • Boost purge ejector tee arrangement
    Patent number: 9353711
    Abstract: A boost purge ejector tee arrangement for a fuel vapor emissions system can include a boost purge ejector tee having a body that can define a first inlet port, a second inlet port and an outlet port. The first inlet port and the outlet port can be fluidly coupled along a first flow path. The body can define a second flow path from the second inlet port that can intersect the first flow path upstream of the outlet port. A nozzle can be positioned in the first flow path such that an outlet of the nozzle can be proximate the intersection of the second flow path with the first flow path. The boost purge ejector tee can be integrated into an air box that can be associated with an engine such that the outlet port exits into an inside of the air box.
