PCV 밸브의 설계 프로그램 개발에 관한 연구

A Study on Development of Design Program for PCV Valve

Automobiles are very important as modern society is developed. Increase of the number of the automobiles cause environmental problem, that is, air pollution. So, many countries are adopting a environmental law. Automobile manufacturing companies have developing methods to prevent air pollution with increase of the efficiency of automotive engines. PCV(Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system which is one of them is made by the closed loop that consists of combustion chamber, crankcase, manifold suction tube and manifold. PCV valve is attached on manifold tube to control the flowrate of blowby gas. PCV valve is an important part in this system but it is difficult to design PCV valve which satisfies the required flowrate of blowby gas. In this study, our purpose is to help a PCV valve designer with the development of a design program. We used 4th order Runge-Kutta method and Bernoulli's equation to analyze the spool dynamic motion. By the comparison between our program and experiment, we think that a PCV designer can use our program in their work place.
