The butane loading station is used for the artificial loading (= filling) of an activated carbon canister (ACC). The ACC prevents the tank venting system from emitting hydrocarbons. Statutory tests require a fully loaded ACC which must be almost completely drained during the prescribed conditioning drive cycles on the dynamometer so that it can then absorb emissions from the tank in the subsequent (hot) soak test.<\/p>\n

Some statutory requirements also specify a so-called ageing of the ACC. This is achieved through the repeated loading and subsequent purging of the ACC.<\/p>\n
