Patent number: 9322368Abstract: To reduce size and weight of canister while improving adsorbing/desorbing performance by optimizing adsorbent that fills chamber located at air release side. Adsorbent filling chambers 8, 9 located at air port 5 side, of a plurality of chambers 5˜8 that are arranged in series along an air flow direction in case 2, is formed by macroscopic pore whose diameter is 50 nm or greater. The adsorbent has hollow cylindrical shape whose inside thickness is 0.6 to 1.5 mm and whose outside diameter is 4 to 6 mm or hollow spherical shape whose inside thickness is 0.6 to 1.5 mm and whose diameter is 4 to 6 mm. A ratio of volume of the macroscopic pore whose diameter is less than 500 nm to total volume of the macroscopic pore whose diameter is equal to or greater than 50 nm is within a range of 30 to 70%.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: MAHLE FILTER SYSTEMS JAPAN CORPORATIONInventors: Yuji Arase, Junpei Omichi, Takashi Hasumi, Koji Yamasaki

Patent number: 9097218Abstract: A canister is provided with a plurality of adsorbent chambers filled with adsorbent, and the adsorbent chambers are connected together so as to form a U-turn-shaped passage. The canister has a communication chamber through which both end portions of adjacent two adsorbent chambers communicate with each other; a middle chamber formed at the end portion of one of the adjacent two adsorbent chambers, which is positioned at a downstream side of the communication chamber, and connected to the communication chamber through a communication hole; a baffle plate set in the middle chamber with the baffle plate facing to the communication hole so that an incoming air flow from the communication hole strikes against the baffle plate and diffuses in the middle chamber; and a tubular portion protruding in the communication chamber from an opening edge of the communication hole along a longitudinal direction of the one adsorbent chamber.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2013Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: MAHLE FILTER SYSTEMS JAPAN CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroyuki Yoshida, Takashi Hasumi, Toshinobu Horimatsu, Junpei Omichi, Yuji Arase

Publication number: 20140352541Abstract: A canister includes: a casing charged with an adsorbing material; a charge port and a purge port disposed at one end of the casing; a drain port disposed at the other end of the casing; a flange section for defining an outer peripheral part of one end of an adsorbent chamber; a first cylindrical section projected from the flange section toward the adsorbent chamber and concentric with the casing; and a second cylindrical section extending from the flange section in the opposite direction and concentric with the casing. A space defined inside the first cylindrical section is provided to communicate with one of the charge port and the purge port, while a diffusion chamber communicates with the other of the charge port and the purge port. The flange section has orifices located adjacent to the first cylindrical section thereby communicating the adsorbent chamber and the diffusion chamber with each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2014Publication date: December 4, 2014Applicant: MAHLE FILTER SYSTEMS JAPAN CORPORATIONInventors: Junpei Omichi, Yuji Arase, Takashi Hasumi

Publication number: 20130327303Abstract: An evaporated fuel treatment device including a cylindrical casing body, a granular adsorbent filled in the casing body, an air permeable member stacked on the granular adsorbent, a retainer member stacked on the air permeable member, and a tJooth-shaped positioning retention mechanism disposed between an inner circumferential surface of the casing body and an outer circumferential surface of the retainer member. The tooth-shaped positioning retention mechanism allows the retainer member to hold the air permeable member in a compressively deformed state, enables positioning and retention of the retainer member in an optional position relative to the casing body in a pushing direction of the retainer member, and inhibits displacement of the retainer member in a removal direction of the retainer member.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2013Publication date: December 12, 2013Inventors: Yuji Arase, Hiroyuki Yoshida, Toshinobu Horimatsu
