  • Patent number: 7842115
    Abstract: An oil separator arrangement for an internal combustion engine incorporates a vortex chamber oil separator with a vortex chamber extending in a longitudinal direction, where the vortex chamber includes a wall extending in a longitudinal direction, a gas inlet, and a gas outlet opening. The gas inlet is disposed tangential to the wall for tangentially blowing-in of blow-by-gas into the vortex chamber, so that at least one gas vortex flow rotating helically along the wall in the longitudinal direction is generated, where at least one further oil separator is connected in parallel to the vortex chamber oil separator. The further oil separator incorporates a separation chamber with an inlet-side spring tongue automatically controlled by the applied blow-by-gas, and a baffle wall disposed downstream the spring tongue.

  • Patent number: 7594501
    Abstract: A cylinder head cover for an internal combustion engine includes an oil separator with a vortex chamber extending in a longitudinal direction from a proximal end to a distal end. Said vortex chamber comprises an essentially pipe-shaped wall extending in said longitudinal direction, a gas inlet arranged at said proximal end of said vortex chamber and oriented tangentially to said essentially pipe-shaped wall, for tangentially blowing blow-by gas into said vortex chamber, such that a gas vortex flow helically rotating along said essentially pipe-shaped wall in the longitudinal direction from said proximal end to said distal end of said vortex chamber is created, and a gas outlet opening. The gas outlet opening is arranged in the region of said distal end of said vortex chamber.

  • Publication number: 20080196364
    Abstract: An oil separating apparatus for an internal combustion engine comprises an upstream oil-separating element for through flowing blow-by gas, a downstream oil-separating element for through flowing blow-by gas connected in series with said upstream oil-separating element, and a hollow space on the outlet side of the upstream oil-separating element, wherein in an oil drain path of the downstream oil-separating element an oil return closed by means of a reed valve is provided, wherein the oil return on the outlet side terminates in said hollow space, wherein the hollow space comprises a further oil return which is closed by a further reed valve.
