  • Publication number: 20230398479
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aerosol separator for separating aerosols in a blow-by gas, which comprises at least one feed opening for feeding a blow-by gas provided with aerosols, an outlet opening for discharging a blow-by gas cleaned of aerosols, at least one outflow opening for releasing aerosols removed from the blow-by gas, and which is arranged between a flow path of the at least one feed opening and the outlet opening, and a plurality of projections for configuring the flow path running from the at least one feed opening to the outflow opening in a meandering manner, in order to decelerate the blow-by gas which enters the feed opening and which is provided with aerosols, in terms of its flow rate. The separator is characterized in that the projections in their end region, around which blow-by gas flows, have a portion with increasing projection width.
