  • Publication number: 20240125258
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle includes a crankcase. The crankcase has having at least two oil separation devices and having a return device. The return device has at least one first return channel that is flowable through by a first portion of the oil separated from the blow-by gas with a first of the oil separation devices, through which the first portion of the separated oil is guided from the first oil separation device into the reservoir. The return device also has at least one second return channel that is at least partially spaced apart from the first return channel and is flowable through by a second portion of the oil separated from the blow-by gas via the second oil separation device, through which second return channel the second portion of the separated oil is guided from the second oil separation device into the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 11905863
    Abstract: A media channel assembly for an internal combustion engine includes at least one distribution channel for distributing a medium to various components of the internal combustion engine, and at least one supply channel, which is coupled to the distribution channel by way of at least one media passage opening. At least a wall region of the distribution channel lying opposite the media passage opening is curved, at least in parts, toward the media passage opening. An internal combustion engine includes such a media channel assembly, and a motor vehicle includes such an internal combustion engine.
