Closed Crankcase Ventilation Systems (CCV) |
|
|
|
In combination with select Ward Clean Air Products, the Closed Crankcase Ventilation System elevates the level of exhaust emission reduction by eliminating crankcase emissions.
Unlike exhaust emissions, crankcase gases normally escape into the environment through the crankcase vent tube. The WCAP CCV system does the following:
- A truly closed CCV system which effectively eliminates 100% of crankcase emissions at all times
- Improves passenger compartment air quality, which is especially important in all types of buses (school, shuttle, urban, etc.), refuse and municipal fleets
- Improves air quality for personnel working in the vicinity of an operating piece of equipment
- Reduces fouling in the engine compartment and of charge air coolers, radiators, etc. increasing their efficiency
Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) Systems have been proven by the EPA to reduce pollutants released from Closed Crankcases when combined with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and can reduce up to 40%. Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) Systems that have been paired with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) can yield the following benefits:
- Cleaner engine environment
- Improved vehicle/equipment reliability with less need for maintenance
- Keeps engine compartment as well as components cleaner
- Reduces the use of oil and lowers vehicle operating costs
Ward Clean Air Products line of Closed Crankcase Ventilation Systems are EPA approved, helping you not only lower emissions, but lower operating costs as well.

What Is Diesel Exhaust?
Diesel exhaust contains a mixture of thousands of different chemical substances. Many of the components of diesel exhaust, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxides, hydrocarbon gases and diesel particulate matter (soot), arsenic and benzene, can cause health problems. Diesel exhaust contains 20-100 times more harmful particles than gasoline exhaust.

Health Effects of Diesel Exhaust
Due to expanding use of diesel equipment, more and more workers are exposed to diesel exhaust. More than one million workers are exposed to diesel exhaust and face the risk of adverse health effects, ranging from headaches and nausea to cancer and respiratory disease. Such workers include mine workers, bridge and tunnel workers, railroad workers, loading dock workers, truck drivers, material handling machine operators, farm workers, longshoring employees, and auto, truck and bus maintenance garage workers.
