Abstract: A crankcase ventilation system (1) is provided. The system comprises a housing (10), a disc stack separator (20) arranged within the housing which comprises a chamber (21), and a rotor (22). The rotor comprises an oil separating element (23) arranged within the chamber and spaced from one or more walls of the chamber, a shaft (24) configured to rotatably mount the oil separating element. The disc stack separator further comprises a first gas inlet (41) and a first gas outlet (42). The system further comprises a filter element (30) comprising a second gas inlet (43), a second gas outlet (44), and a filter (31) arranged between the second gas inlet and the second gas outlet. The first gas inlet is configured to be connected to a crankcase blow-by outlet of the ICE, and the first gas outlet is connected to the second gas inlet.
