A blow-by gas filtration assembly (1) fluidly connects an internal combustion engine crankcase ventilation circuit to receive blow-by gases and filter from the gases the suspended particles contained therein. The filtration assembly (1) includes a hollow cylindrical filter group (2) which can be radially crossed by the blow-by gases. In addition, the filtration assembly (1) has a control group (3) that supports and commands in rotation the filter group (2) including: i) a hollow shaft (4) extending along the axis (X-X) in the filter group (2), defining an inner duct (400) fluidly connected with the central cavity (200) for the circulation of the blow-by gases. An electric motor (5) includes a stator (51) and a hollow rotor (52) operatively connected to the hollow shaft (4) to receive an electromagnetic control action from the stator (51) and command in rotation the hollow shaft (4) and thus the filter group (2).

A filter monitor system (“FMS”) module is installed on the engine/vehicle and is connected to the filter systems, sensors and devices to monitor various performance parameters. The module also connects to the engine control module (“ECM”) and draws parameters from the ECM. The FMS module is capable of interfacing with various output devices such as a smartphone application, a display monitor, an OEM telematics system or a service technician's tool on a computer. The FMS module consists of hardware and software algorithms which constantly monitor filter systems and provide information to the end-user. FMS module provides necessary inputs and outputs for electronic sensors and devices.

Systems and methods for engine coalescer exhaust extraction are provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises an engine including a crankcase fluidly coupled to a coalescer, a muffler adapted to receive combustion exhaust gases from the engine, and a coalescer exhaust passage fluidly coupling the coalescer to the muffler. The coalescer exhaust passage includes an inlet arranged upstream of the muffler adapted to flow a motive fluid to the coalescer exhaust passage to increase a flow speed of coalescer exhaust through the coalescer exhaust passage.

An apparatus and a method are provided for a crankcase breather vent assembly to direct blow-by gases out of an engine crankcase. A vent base comprising a generally cylindrical vessel communicates received blow-by gases into an interior cavity of a breather vent that comprises a filter medium. Baffles disposed within an interior cavity of the vent base capture oil carried along with the blow-by gases. The captured oil is directed to an oil sump of the engine by way of a suitable hose. A bonnet fastenably receives the breather vent and is configured to reduce a buildup of oil residue on nearby engine components. An outer profile of the breather vent is tapered along a longitudinal dimension of the filter medium to facilitate unrestricted air flow through the filter medium when the bonnet is installed onto the breather vent.

Various example embodiments relate to rotating coalescers. One embodiment includes a housing comprising a first housing section having a blowby gas inlet structured to receive crankcase blowby gases from a crankcase. The housing further comprises an oil outlet. The rotating coalescer includes an endcap and filter media. The filter media is arranged in a cylindrical shape and is coupled to and positioned between the first housing section and endcap. The filter media is structured to filter the crankcase blowby gases passing through the filter media by coalescing and separating oils and aerosols contained in the crankcase blowby gases. The rotating coalescer includes a hollow shaft extending through the housing and positioned radially inside of the filter media. The hollow shaft forms a blowby gas outlet structured to route filtered crankcase blowby gases out of the housing. The rotating coalescer further includes a drive mechanism operatively coupled to the hollow shaft.

A blow-by gas filtration assembly fluidically connects to a crankcase ventilation circuit of an internal combustion engine. The filtration assembly has an axis and includes a filter group having a hollow cylindrical shape with a central chamber radially traversable by the blow-by gases, preferably from the outside to the inside. In addition, the filtration assembly includes a support and control member engageable to the filter group for supporting it in an axial position along the axis and for controlling it in rotation around the axis to perform the filtration operations. The member and the filter group include, respectively, a threaded member portion and a threaded filter portion engageable by reciprocal screwing. The member and the filter group also include, respectively, a member abutment and a filter abutment axially engageable along the axis to prevent further screwing of the threaded member portion and a threaded filter portion.
