Abstract
A positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) outlet anti-freezing device of an intake manifold of a vehicle engine includes a first guide and a second guide formed adjacent to a PCV outlet within an inlet tube of the intake manifold to block direct contact between fresh air and a PCV gas, thereby preventing condensation and freezing of the PCV gas. The first guide and the second guide also can improve flow distribution of the intake manifold by improving fluidity of the fresh air.
Claims8
A positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) outlet anti-freezing device of an intake manifold of a vehicle engine, the PCV outlet anti-freezing device comprising:
- the intake manifold including an inlet tube into which fresh air flows and a PCV outlet formed on an inner circumferential surface of the inlet tube,
- the PCV outlet anti-freezing device provided in the intake manifold, and configured to prevent the PCV outlet from being frozen, and
- a first guide that allows the fresh air to flow away from the PCV outlet at a location spaced apart from the PCV outlet formed on the inner circumferential surface of the inlet tube to an inlet end side of the inlet tube.
