An internal combustion engine for an automotive vehicle has an intake manifold receiving fresh air via an inlet duct. The engine includes a crankcase. A turbocharger is provided having a compressor with an inlet coupled to the inlet duct and an outlet coupled to the intake manifold. A first vent line couples the crankcase with the compressor inlet. A second vent line couples the crankcase with the compressor outlet and intake manifold. The second vent line has a valve blocking air flow into the crankcase and allowing air flow out from the crankcase. The first vent line comprises a dual-acting valve having a first flow capacity into the crankcase and a second flow capacity out from the crankcase which is greater than the first flow capacity. Thus, crankcase ventilation is optimized for both engine idle and high engine load conditions.

A crankcase ventilation device features a closing valve with a valve body, the valve body executes a positioning movement between a closed and an opened position. A sensor device for detecting the positioning movement of the valve body is disposed in the housing.

An internal combustion engine includes an internal combustion engine interior and a lubricant disposed in the internal combustion engine interior. The lubricant lubricates a component disposed in the internal combustion engine interior and the lubricant is a water-containing lubricant. In an embodiment, the internal combustion engine interior is fluidically connected to an environment surrounding the internal combustion engine by a ventilation device where the ventilation device has a semipermeable membrane which is impermeable to water and water vapor.

A valve for controlling at least one first flow of at least one fluid, in particular, within a motor vehicle, along a first fluid path from at least one valve inlet to at least one valve outlet, comprising at least one valve seat that is arranged—with regard to the fluid flow—between the valve inlet and the valve outlet, wherein the valve seat can be closed at least in some regions in at least one closed position by means of at least one valve member.

A device separates particles, such as oil particles, from a gas flow, from a blow-by gas of a crankcase ventilation, in an internal combustion engine. The device includes a valve seat, which defines at least one flow passage opening and through which the gas flow at least partially flows in a main flow direction, and a movable valve element, which can be adjusted relative to the valve seat such that flow guide surfaces of the valve seat and the valve element deflect the gas flow in such a way that particles separate from the gas flow due to the impact of the particles on the flow guide surfaces. At least one flow guide surface of the valve seat or the valve element has at least one turbine blade-like guide projection or at least one turbine blade-like guide depression in order to transform the gas flow into a swirling flow.

To provide an electromagnetic valve that can prevent damage due to wear of a valve element and a case of a solenoid, or occurrence of a striking sound when a valve is opened. An electromagnetic valve includes a solenoid having a case, a flow path member, and a columnar valve element that is housed in the valve element housing portion of the flow path member and moves with a plunger of the solenoid to open and close a flow path. A first seat member in contact with the plunger is disposed on the valve element, and a second seat member in contact with the plunger is disposed on the case of the solenoid. An elastic modulus of the first seat member is larger than an elastic modulus of the valve element, and an elastic modulus of the second seat member is smaller than an elastic modulus of the case.

To prevent a decrease in operating accuracy of a valve element by scraping off a deposit from the inside of a valve element housing portion and preventing sticking and accumulation of the deposit. An electromagnetic valve includes a solenoid, a flow path member, and a columnar valve element that is housed in a valve element housing portion of the flow path member and moves with a plunger of the solenoid to open and close a flow path. The valve element has a first guide portion provided along the circumferential direction on one side in the axial direction, and a second guide portion which is provided to be separated from the first guide portion on the other side in the axial direction and protrudes outward in the radial direction. Both the first guide portion and the second guide portion are guided to an inner peripheral surface of the valve element housing portion when the valve element moves.

A positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) outlet anti-freezing device of an intake manifold of a vehicle engine includes a first guide and a second guide formed adjacent to a PCV outlet within an inlet tube of the intake manifold to block direct contact between fresh air and a PCV gas, thereby preventing condensation and freezing of the PCV gas. The first guide and the second guide also can improve flow distribution of the intake manifold by improving fluidity of the fresh air.

In a combustion engine, an exit stream of blow-by gases follows a fluid pathway through an oil and air separator and a breather filter, the oil and air separator including a first housing including a central chamber therein, the central chamber divided into a first outer portion and a second inner portion by a barrier; a filter material disposed between the first outer portion and the second inner portion; a cap directly coupled to the first housing, the cap including a first lumen therethrough, the first lumen including a first end disposed at the second inner portion; and a coupler removably coupling the cap and an extension portion including a second lumen therethrough.

An electromagnetic valve includes a solenoid having a plunger; a flow path member including a fluid passage flow path having a first flow path, a second flow path, and a relay flow path which is disposed between the first flow path and the second flow path and which connects the first flow path and the second flow path, and a cylindrical space; a valve body movably disposed in the cylindrical space; and a spring which is disposed concentrically with the valve body on an outer peripheral side of the valve body in the cylindrical space and urges the valve body.
