The invention relates to an internal combustion engine, comprising an intake path, a crankcase, an exhaust gas path and a crankcase ventilation means, wherein the crankcase ventilation means is open, closed or separate. The internal combustion engine according to the invention comprises an intake path, a crankcase, an exhaust gas path and an open crankcase ventilation means, wherein the open crankcase ventilation means comprises a first line and a second line, wherein the first line is designed to connect the exhaust gas path to the crankcase in order to guide exhaust gas out of the exhaust gas path to the crankcase, and wherein the second line is designed to connect the crankcase to the exhaust gas path in order to discharge exhaust gas and leakage gases located in the crankcase from the crankcase and to feed them to the exhaust gas path.

A gas-liquid separation device includes a gas-liquid separation chamber in a head cover that defines a valve gear chamber, a partition wall that changes a direction of blow-by gas that flows in the gas-liquid separation chamber, and a blow-by gas suction passage extending from the gas-liquid separation chamber to an intake-side valve gear chamber. The upstream end of the blow-by gas suction passage defines an opening in a vicinity of a bottom wall of the valve gear chamber (intake-side valve gear chamber). The gas-liquid separation device removes an oil mist in the blow-by gas while using a compact and simple gas-liquid separation structure.

A housing of a compressor for an internal combustion engine is provided. The housing includes a first air inlet portion. Further, housing includes a tubular wall defining an annular chamber along a circumference of the first air inlet portion. Tubular wall comprising a second air inlet portion. Housing further includes an opening formed in a wall of first air inlet portion, contiguously extending along the circumference of the first air inlet portion, to fluidly couple the annular chamber with the first air inlet portion. The opening being formed at an offset from the second air inlet portion. The opening defines a first edge and a second edge in the wall of the first air inlet portion. The first edge and the second edge are radially offset from each other with respect to a central axis of the first air inlet portion.

A pneumatically actuated vacuum pump is disclosed. The pneumatically actuated vacuum pump includes a body. The body defines at least two converging motive sections each having an outlet end, at least two diverging discharge sections each having an inlet end, and at least one Venturi gap. The Venturi gap is located between the outlet ends of the at least two converging motive sections and the inlet ends of the at least two diverging discharge sections.

An air induction system for a vehicle includes a turbocharger having a compressor side inlet and a bifurcated clean air intake system having a bifurcated conduit. The bifurcated conduit includes an upstream end configured to receive intake air, a downstream end configured to supply intake air to the compressor side inlet, an inner passage configured to supply intake air to the downstream end, and an outer passage disposed about the inner passage and separated from the inner passage by an inner wall, the outer passage configured to selectively receive recirculation backflow from the compressor side inlet. A port is fluidly coupled between the outer passage and another location of the vehicle. The port is configured to selectively evacuate at least a portion of the recirculation backflow to the another location the vehicle.

Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) systems have been employed on naturally-aspirated engines for over half a century. The gases in the crankcase exit the engine into the engine intake due to the slightly elevated pressure in the crankcase. Flow is controlled via a PCV valve in a PCV duct. In pressure-charged engines, PCV flow stops when pressure in the intake exceeds that of the crankcase. Such stagnation leads to sludging and deposit formation. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, reverse flow through the system is allowed by installing a second PCV valve in parallel with the normally-provided PCV valve, with the second PCV valve allowing an opposite direction of flow. Oil separators are provided on both PCV ducts to and from the engine to remove oil from blowby gases for flow in either direction.
