THREE-PORT TURBO PURGE MODULE
DRIVE
October 10, 2019
A three-port turbo purge module, including a housing having a cavity, and two check valves. During a first mode of operation, the first check valve is open and the second check valve is closed by vacuum pressure generated in an intake manifold, such that purge vapor flows from an inlet port into the cavity, through the first check valve, and into a first port. During a second mode of operation, where the intake manifold is operating under positive pressure, the first check valve is closed such that pressurized air flowing into the first port is accelerated through a venturi device disposed in the cavity, and the second check valve is open such that purge vapor flows from the inlet port into the cavity, through the venturi device and mixes with the high-velocity air, through the second check valve into the second port.
