  • Patent number: 7900612
    Abstract: A valve for crankcase ventilation of an internal combustion engine comprises a fresh-air side for connection with an intake section of the internal combustion engine, an engine side for connection with the crankcase and a valve insert movable as a whole for changing the flow resistance through the valve. Said valve inset is held inside said valve without pre-load. Said valve insert is designed to be freely displaced to a deventilation limit-stop position under negative pressure on the fresh-air side relative to the engine side, and to be freely displaced to a ventilation limit-stop position under excess pressure on the fresh-air side relative to the engine side. The valve insert is designed to open a deventilation cross-section in the deventilation limit-stop position and to open a deventilation cross-section that is different from the ventilation cross-section in the ventilation limit-stop position.

  • Publication number: 20080135030
    Abstract: An oil separator insert for a cover or a housing of an internal combustion engine comprises a stem member and at least one helical surface member arranged along the circumference of said stem member such that a helical channel is formed by said helical surface member. Said helical channel is open towards an outer enveloping surface of said helical surface member. Said insert is provided for being tight-fittingly inserted into a mounting in said cover or said housing, allowing blow-by gases to flow through said helical channel when being tight-fittingly inserted into said mounting. At least an outer part of said helical surface member is made substantially of an elastomer based material.

  • Patent number: 7080636
    Abstract: An oil separating device for an internal combustion engine connected in a flow path of blow-by gas, loaded with oil particles, from the crankcase to the inlet manifold section of the internal combustion engine and comprising an oil separator formed with at least one passage through which the flow of oil-bearing blow-by gas is guided and deflected, the oil particles being separated at a wall which causes them to flow back to the crankcase in an oil return path, is characterized in that the at least one passage is defined by a slot of small, variable slot width and large cross sectional area, the slot width being varied against spring force of an elastic member in dependence on the volume flow of the blow-by gas through the slot.
