Patent number: 7607289Abstract: Methods, constructions, and systems for treating engine emissions. An engine includes a crankcase, an air intake, a blow-by vent, and an exhaust port; the crankcase emits blow-by gases through the blow-by vent, and the engine produces an exhaust stream through the exhaust port. The blow-by gases are directed through a blow-by filter to produce filtered gases. The filtered gases are directed back into the air intake of the engine; and the exhaust stream is treated with at least one of a catalytic converter, a flow through filter, and a diesel particulate filter. Total particulate matter (PM) emissions of a turbo-charged diesel engine having an engine crankcase and an exhaust tailpipe are reducible. The total emissions includes particulate matter emissions from the engine crankcase added to the particulate matter emissions from the exhaust tailpipe.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2007Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Steve D. Schmeichel, Fred W. Schmidt, Julian A. Imes, Robert Allen Dushek

The blow-by gases are directed through a blow-by filter to produce filtered gases. The filtered gases are directed back into the air intake of the crankcase; and the exhaust stream is treated with a catalyst arrangement. Total emissions of a turbo-charged diesel engine having an engine crankcase and an exhaust tailpipe are reducible. The total emissions includes particulate matter emissions from the engine crankcase added to the particulate matter emissions from the exhaust tailpipe.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2003Date of Patent: August 21, 2007Assignee: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Steve D.

Patent number: 7081145Abstract: An arrangement for separating a hydrophobic liquid phase from a gaseous stream includes a coalescer filter, a housing, a gas flow direction arrangement, and a liquid collection arrangement. The coalescer filter includes a non-woven media of fibers. The housing includes an interior having a gas flow inlet and a gas flow outlet. The liquid collection arrangement is positioned within the housing construction and is oriented for receiving liquid collected from the coalescer filter and drained therefrom. Methods for conducting the separations are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2004Date of Patent: July 25, 2006Assignee: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Steven Scott Gieseke, Robert Allen Dushek
