Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating a gas-liquid mixture, in which the liquid portion exists in the form of small particles, especially for ventilating a crankcase of an internal combustion engine, by separating and coagulating the liquid particles on a target area.

For this purpose, the number and/or the cross-sections of the acceleration openings is varied, depending on the volume flow of mixtures, between a small complete cross-section for a low volume flow and a large complete cross-section for a large volume flow.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating a gas-liquid mixture, wherein the liquid part is in the form of small particles, in particular during ventilation of a piston housing of an internal combustion engine, by separating and coagulating the liquid particles on a separation surface. The aim of the invention is to produce a device which has a compact structure, is easy to construct and has the highest possible degree of separation. As a result, when a cyclone is used as an individual separation device, the inner wall surface thereof (4), along which a rotational flow is produced for separating the liquid, must be provided with a plurality of narrow flow chicanes that are in the form of a thin, fine-pored knitted or non-woven fibre (5). A particularly good degree of separation is achieved in a separation device in which a prefractionator and a postfractionator (6, 7) are combined together, one of said separators being a cyclone and the other an impactor.
