  • Patent number: 11002164
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine has an oil circuit for supplying oil to powertrain components and cylinder head components of the internal combustion engine. At least one oil pump and one oil filter module are incorporated into the oil circuit. The oil circuit branches into a powertrain oil gallery and a cylinder head oil gallery in the oil filter module or downstream of the oil filter module in a flow direction. The oil circuit is designed so that a lower oil pressure prevails in the powertrain oil gallery than in the cylinder head oil gallery.

  • Patent number: 7967580
    Abstract: An oil pump for an internal combustion engine for drawing up the lubricating oil situated in an oil collector device has an oil pump housing wherein at least two pairs of gears are disposed. The pairs of gears, in order to form the pumping stages, are connected on the suction side to a suction passage formed in the oil pump housing and on the delivery side to a delivery passage. The oil pump housing is further formed with an oil supply passage that is connected to the suction passage of a first pumping stage and via which lubricating oil can be delivered to the suction side of the first pumping stage.

  • Patent number: 7509950
    Abstract: A ventilation system of an internal-combustion engine crankcase, in which the blow-by gases can be removed by bores integrated in the cylinder head and ventilation pipes connected thereto. The ventilation pipes are connected to a vacuum source such as a suction pipe, and devices pre-separate oil from the blow-by gases. At least one separate oil separation module is provided, whose oil separation chambers therein have first openings for the introduction of the blow-by gases and second openings for the return of the separated oil into the cylinder head.
