All modern cars with automatic fuel injection, including the Lada Kalina, equipped with a system of the evaporative emission (EVAP). This is a mandatory requirement for machines whose class sustainability starts from Euro-3. The system is designed primarily to prevent spillage of fuel vapors into the atmosphere, but it also allows you to maintain stable engine operation and to save fuel.

One of the major hubs EVAP is the EVAP purge valve. What is this element, how it works and what it is designed, we will discuss in this article. In addition, we will examine the symptoms of the valve, causes of failure, as well as describe the process of its replacement by the example of the car "Lada Kalina".

EVAP purge Valve Kalina

Why you need a system EVAP

Petrol belongs to the category of volatile hydrocarbons, as the vapour is highly volatile. During operation of the engine gasoline is in the tank, a little bit, but heats up. Moreover, during the movement, he sways. These processes accelerate the evaporation of the fuel by increasing the pressure in the tank. Early car tanks had only rudimentary ventilation system, which simply produced a pair of through holes to the atmosphere. Naturally, this has caused some harm to the environment and the fuel economy is generally out of the question.

The Introduction of vapor recovery systems of gasoline helped to solve both problems simultaneously. Her fumes are not released into the environment unnecessarily, and used as intended, i.e. to ensure operation of the engine.

What is in the vapor recovery system

EVAP "Kalina" consists of the following elements:

  • Outlet and fuel return lines;
  • Separator;
  • Canister;
  • The EVAP purge valve.

As you can see, the system is quite simple. Consider the purpose of each of its elements separately.EVAP purge Valve Lada Kalina

As for the fuel lines, it is simply the tube in which the evaporation of the gasoline leaving the tank and through which fuel is returned back in it. The separator serves to collect fuel vapors and their condensation. The canister is designed to trap those vapors that do not have time to become liquid. EVAP purge Valve ("Kalina") is required in order to route gasoline vapors into the receiver of the intake manifold.

How it works

Fuel fumes rise and concentrate in the upper part of the tank. When the pressure in the tank rises, couples fall into the fuel line and thence to the separator. There is a process of cooling and condensation. Part of the vapors deposited on the walls of the separator, passes back in the liquid state and on a return fuel line back to the tank. The other part that has not had time to condense, is fed to the adsorber. The device is a conventional plastic jar filled with crushed activated charcoal. Pairs accumulate in the charcoal canister until the engine starts.

When we try to start the engine, the work enters the solenoid valve the canister purge («Kalina»). The signal for the opening is supplied from the electronic engine control unit. At the time of starting the valve opens and the fuel vapors through the pipeline are submitted to the receiver of the intake manifold. Thus, the evaporation, which previously no one in the accounting didn't take, help to save fuel and not pollute the environment.Kalina a malfunction of the EVAP purge solenoid

What is a purge solenoid valve on "Kalina"

In fact, the valve the canister purge («Kalina») – this is a common shut-off device driven by a conventional electromagnet. It consists of:

  • Plastic housing;
  • Electrical connector
  • Spring loaded valve;
  • Electromagnetic windings;
  • Magnetic core.

Work phases of the valve

With the engine off, The EVAP purge valve («Kalina») are de-energized and is in the closed position. In other words, the EVAP system is blocked from the power unit. At this time in the adsorber under the pressure of the concentrated fumes of gasoline. At the time of starting of the engine electronic control unit supplies the power valve, powering the electromagnet. He opens the closure device and the fuel vapors are absorbed naturally into the intake manifold. When the engine stops, the valve is de-energized and blocks the pipeline. Gasoline fumes cease to flow into the receiver. So running The EVAP purge valve ("Kalina").Solenoid valve EVAP purge Kalina

Some modern cars of foreign production are equipped with more sophisticated devices. Their design is complemented by sensors that allow the electronic unit to obtain additional information on the saturation vapor fuel canister, to assess the percentage of air and on the basis of the received data to control the fuel supply to the injector.

Symptoms of EVAP canister purge valve

The EVAP purge Valve ("Lada Kalina"), like anyother electro-mechanical item can fail. Symptoms of malfunction are:

  • The appearance on the instrument panel decals CHECK (when testing is determined by the error code P0441, corresponding to system malfunction evaporative emission);
  • Floating revolutions of the engine at idle speed;
  • Unstable operation of the engine while driving;
  • Increased consumption of fuel;
  • Increasing the level of CO2 in the exhaust gases.

In addition, the car "Lada Kalina" malfunction EVAP canister purge valve may manifest itself in the appearance of the characteristic odor of gasoline in the cabin. This phenomenon occurs when the pressure in the vapor recovery system exceeds the estimated performance.

To diagnose the valve is simple, but need to know where to look.replacing the EVAP canister purge valve on Kalina

The Valve the canister purge («Kalina»): where and how to find it

In contrast to fuel-injected family car "Samara", the adsorber at «Kalina» is not in the engine compartment and near the fuel tank. To get to it without removing the fuel capacity, it is impossible. But the purge valve is located under the hood. It is fixed on the radiator frame, and access is always free. You'll find it, knowing the two tubes, which, in fact, and move gasoline fumes.

Check valve

Suspecting that the device is out of order, hurry to hold it diagnostics and replace if necessary. No, the damage does not bear critical implications. The car as we traveled, and will travel, just the engine will operate in emergency mode, and fuel will consume more. But how to check the EVAP purge valve on «Kalina» your own?

This process will not take much time. And everything you need from tools – it is a multimeter, a screwdriver and a pair of wires. Raise the hood, find the valve. Then disconnect it from the wiring harness. To do this, press the retainer mounting pads. The first thing to check is the valve voltage. Turn on the multimeter in the voltmeter mode. Its black test lead to join to “mass” of car, and red – Jack to “A” on the harness wires. Turn on the ignition and look at the readings. Terminal voltage should match the battery voltage. If it is not, or it is much less, the problem is not the valve, but much deeper.How to check the EVAP purge valve on Kalina

If voltage is all right, go ahead. Disassemble the blowdown valve. For this screwdriver weaken fastening of hose clamps and remove them from the fittings. Move the valve up bracket and remove it.

Check the device is to connect it directly to the battery terminals. Take one wire and connect it to the positive conclusion of the purge valve. A second wire connected to the negative and throw both conductors to the appropriate terminals of the battery. At this point you should hear and feel a click indicates that the solenoid is working. In this case, we can assume the EVAP purge valve work. If during connection nothing happened, the device would have to change.EVAP purge Valve where is Kalina

Changing the purge valve

Attempt to repair the valve – a thankless task. Yes, and it is inexpensive. Depending on the modifications, the price can range from 350 to 600 rubles.

Replace the EVAP purge solenoid on «Kalina» after the inspection and dismantling is carried out using one instrument – a screwdriver with a cross bat.

The Order of installation of the device is as follows. First attach the hoses of gasoline vapors to the valve fittings. With a screwdriver tighten the fastening screws of clamps. Install the valve on the bracket and move it down along the guide rails until it stops. Plug-in wiring harness. Turn on the ignition, start the engine. If his work has improved markedly, the revs are stable, but the dashboard has disappeared error message, it means we did everything right.
