초록

A great deal of exhaust gas inside a combustion room goes out through exhaust pipe. But residual gas 'Blowby gas' enters the crankcase through a small gap between the piston and the cylinder wall. Here, if the blowby gas isn't vented, this causes many bad efffcts such as lubricant oil contamination, corrosion by that and crankcase explosion by rising pressure. So most automobiles are constituted with a PCV(Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system to prevent previous problems. PCV valve is the most important part in this ventilation system. When companies are manufacturing new cases, engineers are designing it depending on their experiments than theoretical knowledges. Much efforts and times are needed for new development. This study will show quantitative results to increase the possibilities for the optimal design.
