  • Separator for Liquid and Gas
    Publication number: 20240401509
    Abstract: An oil tank for an engine is provided with a separator that reduces the amount of entrained air in the oil tank. The separator includes a body with an outer wall, a divider wall, and an outlet. The divider wall is located between the outer wall and at least a first portion of the outlet. The divider wall is offset from a curved portion of the outer wall, which defines a flow channel through which the oil flows towards the outlet. The oil increases speed as travels around the divider wall. This movement keeps the oil with some and/or more entrained air closer to the outer wall. In contrast, the oil with less or no entrained air moves closer to the divider wall and may travel more directly to the outlet.
