145 - MiTo   1.4 16v TJet   INTRODUCTION - CRANKCASE VAPOUR/GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM      


CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS

The system is designed to decant and burn the breather gases from the cylinder block/crankcase. These gases are made up of a mixture of air, fuel vapours and lubricant oil vapours.

The gases coming from the crankcase rise to the cylinder head and are then directed to a separator (1) which has a diaphragm which allows:

- the condensation and collection of the vapours

- the absorption of the vapours in the intake circuit for their combustion.

The system is equipped with a pipe (2) for the intake of vapours connected to the air chamber and a pipe (3) connected to the turbocharger intake.

This makes it possible to:

- during supercharging, send the vapours via the duct (3) to the turbocharger intake

- during idling or release, send the vapours to the duct (2) connected to the air chamber, downstream of the throttle.
