  • Publication number: 20110308504
    Abstract: In ventilation system and method for a supercharge engine, in a middle load driving region of the engine in which the boost pressure of position of an intake air passage located at the downstream side with respect to a throttle valve is positive and is lower than a set pressure (P1), with importance placed on the ventilation of a crank chamber, a relatively large quantity of fresh air is introduced into the crank chamber and, on the other hand, in a high load driving region in which the boost pressure is equal to or higher than the set pressure (P1), with importance placed on the engine output, the large quantity of fresh air is supplied to the engine so that, while the deterioration of engine oil within the crank chamber suppressed, the output reduction of the engine in the high load driving region can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 7117858
    Abstract: An oil separator provided in combination with a cylinder head cover of an internal combustion engine. The oil separator includes a separator cover fixed to an inner surface of the cylinder head cover defining a space extending in a first direction perpendicular to axis of a camshaft in plan, between the separator cover and the cylinder head cover. The separator cover has an opening through which the space is opened to a valve operating chamber. A partition wall is provided to define in the space an inlet-side separator chamber and an outlet-side separator. The partition wall extends in a second direction parallel with the axis of the camshaft and being formed with a plurality of fine passages. Additionally, a plurality of projection walls project from a part of the inner surface of the cylinder head cover which faces the valve operating chamber through the opening.
