Abstract
A canister includes at least one chamber in which an adsorbent configured to adsorb an evaporated fuel is placed, an inflow port, an atmosphere port, an outflow port, and a case. The case forms a particular chamber in which a granular adsorbent is placed. The particular chamber is one of the at least one chamber. The case includes a side wall and at least one protrusion. The side wall extends from a first end of the particular chamber to a second end of the particular chamber in flow directions, and forms an inner peripheral surface of the particular chamber. At least one protrusion is a part that is formed integrally with the side wall and protrudes from an inner peripheral surface of the side wall.
Claims8
A canister configured to be mounted in a vehicle with an engine, the canister comprising:
- at least one chamber in which an adsorbent configured to adsorb an evaporated fuel is placed;
- an inflow port configured to cause the evaporated fuel to flow from a fuel tank of the vehicle into the at least one chamber;
- an atmosphere port configured to be open to atmosphere;
- an outflow port configured to cause the evaporated fuel adsorbed on the adsorbent to flow out towards the engine by utilizing the atmosphere flowing in through the atmosphere port;
- and
- a case forming a particular chamber in which a granular adsorbent is placed, the particular chamber being one of the at least one chamber,
- the case including:
- a side wall extending from a first end of the particular chamber to a second end of the particular chamber in flow directions of a fluid, the side wall forming an inner peripheral surface of the particular chamber;
- and
- at least one protrusion that is a part formed integrally with the side wall, the at least one protrusion protruding from an inner peripheral surface of the side wall.
