US Patent 11473538 Methods and systems to decrease charge air cooler condensate

Methods and systems are provided for removing condensate form a charge air cooler coupled to an engine intake system. In one example, a method may include flowing heated air from a fuel vapor canister of an evaporative emissions control (EVAP) system through the charge air cooler to vaporize condensate in the CAC. The air is drawn in from atmosphere by operating an electric booster in a reverse direction and the air is heated at the canister by operating a canister heater.
