FLOW RATE CONTROL VALVE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240125392 titled 'FLOW RATE CONTROL VALVE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a flow rate control valve designed to adjust the flow rate of blow-by gas drawn into an intake passage from the crankcase of an internal combustion engine using hydrogen as fuel. The valve includes a flow rate adjuster with a valve member that changes the cross-sectional flow area in the section through which the blow-by gas passes, based on the movement of the valve member. The valve is configured to maximize the cross-sectional flow area when the engine is operating at idle or with a light load.
- The flow rate control valve is specifically designed for internal combustion engines using hydrogen as fuel.
- The valve adjusts the flow rate of blow-by gas drawn into the intake passage from the crankcase.
- The flow rate adjuster includes a valve member that changes the cross-sectional flow area based on its movement.
- The valve is configured to maximize the cross-sectional flow area during idling or light load conditions.

Original Abstract Submitted
a flow rate control valve is configured to adjust a flow rate of blow-by gas drawn into an intake passage from a crankcase of an internal combustion engine that uses hydrogen as fuel. the flow rate control valve includes a flow rate adjuster having a valve member. the flow rate adjuster has a cross-sectional flow area in a section through which the blow-by gas passes. the cross-sectional flow area is changed in accordance with movement of the valve member. the flow rate control valve is configured such that the cross-sectional flow area is maximized when a load on the internal combustion engine is less than or equal to that in an idling operation state.
