A convergent nozzle is in a mixer housing and in a flow path from an air inlet of the mixer to an outlet of the mixer. A convergent-divergent nozzle is in the mixer housing and includes an air-exhaust gas inlet in fluid communication to receive fluid flow from the convergent nozzle and from the interior of the exhaust gas housing. A first nozzle module is configured to be received in the mixer housing and, when received in the mixer housing, define at least a portion of the convergent nozzle or the convergent-divergent nozzle. A second nozzle module is configured to be received in the mixer housing separate from the first nozzle module. The second nozzle module, when received in the mixer housing, is configured to define at least a portion of the convergent or the convergent-divergent nozzle. The second nozzle module has a different flow characteristic than the first nozzle module.

This heat exchanger is provided with an inner tube 2, a first flow passage 3 formed inside the inner tube 2, an outer tube 4 disposed coaxially with the inner tube 2 on the radially outer side thereof, a second flow passage 5 formed between the inner tube 2 and the outer tube 4, annular separating walls P1 to P4 which divide the second flow passage 5 into a plurality of spaces S1 to S5 in the axial direction of the outer tube 4, and space outlets E formed in one location in the circumferential direction of each separating wall P1 to P4, wherein the spaces S1 to S5 are configured to cause a second fluid to swirl about second axes Y perpendicular to a first axis X positioned at the center of the outer tube 4.

An oil separation device includes an oil separator in a housing between a gas inlet and an outlet. An opening is formed at the longitudinal end of a gas-conducting channel connected to the gas inlet the end facing away from the gas inlet, and a throttle aperture movably mounted in the longitudinal direction of the gas conducting channel. The gas conducting channel and an outlet channel form an annular gap through which crankcase ventilation gases flow via a nozzle gap, and the housing has an additional opening to which a reference pressure can be applied on the throttle aperture side facing away from the gas conducting channel. The throttle aperture extends radially beyond the annular gap and has a seal region molded onto the edge that is sealingly arranged in a recess formed in the housing such that the throttle aperture fluidically separates the additional opening from the gas inlet.

A blow-by gas treatment device includes a first blow-by gas pipe, a second blow-by gas pipe, a first pipe joint located on a first head cover, the first blow-by gas pipe being connected to the first pipe joint, a second pipe joint located on a second head cover, the second blow-by gas pipe being connected to the second pipe joint, a first union located on the first pipe joint, a second union located on the second pipe joint, and a pressure sensor connected to the first pipe joint by the first union and connected to the second pipe joint by the second union.

The invention relates to an oil decantation system (1) comprising: (i) a separator device (6) designed to trap the oil droplets (107) that are present in a flow of a blow-by gas (110); and (ii) a jet pump (5) positioned upstream of the separator device (6) and designed to accelerate and draw the flow of the blow-by gas (110) before it enters said separator device (6).

A compressor arrangement for an internal combustion engine, having a compressor which is arranged in a compressor housing and has a low pressure side and a high pressure side, and having a negative pressure provision unit, which has a propellant channel that is fluidically connected, on the one hand, via a propellant inlet fitting to the high pressure side of the compressor and, on the other hand, via a propellant outlet fitting to the low pressure side of the compressor and has a nozzle, and which has a negative pressure channel opening into the propellant channel fluidically between the propellant inlet fitting and the propellant outlet fitting.

In order to provide a separating device which has a simple design and is operable reliably and efficiently, it is proposed that the separating device comprises the following: at least one separating body for separating the impurities; an ejector device for producing a suction effect on an exit side of the at least one separating body; a supply device for supplying a drive medium to the ejector device, wherein, by means of the supply device, selectively a) compressed supply air from a supply air tract of the combustion engine, b) exhaust gas from an exhaust gas tract of the combustion engine and/or c) a mixture of compressed supply air and exhaust gas is suppliable as drive medium to the ejector device.

A reflux valve includes a first supported portion that plugs a first opening when a valve body biased by a biasing member moves to one side in an axial direction, the first supported portion opens the first opening when the valve body moves to the other side in the axial direction against a biasing force of the biasing member due to negative pressure applied to a downstream side relative to an upstream side, the valve body includes a first hole extending from an end on the other side in the axial direction to one side in the axial direction, a valve body portion includes a second hole extending from an outer side in a radial direction and reaching the first hole, and the valve body portion includes a third hole at a different position from the second hole in the axial direction.

An internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle includes a crankcase ventilation device for removing blow-by gas from a crankcase, a pressure sensor being provided for measuring the gas pressure in said crankcase, and a control unit connected to and in communication with the crankcase ventilation device being configured and/or programmed to run a tightness test for said crankcase ventilation device when the internal combustion engine is switched off.

A cylinder head cover structure of an engine includes a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve releasing blow-by gas from an oil separating chamber to an intake system of the engine. The oil separating chamber is included in an oil separator provided to an interior of a cylinder head cover. In the oil separating chamber, oil mist is separated and removed from the blow-by gas. The PCV valve is located between a portion of a defining wall and an exterior wall of the cylinder head cover, and supported by the defining wall and the exterior wall, the defining wall defining the oil separating chamber and the cam housing, and the exterior wall being spaced apart from the portion of the defining wall. The PCV valve is surrounded by a space communicating with the cam housing.
