Oil decantation system for an internal combustion engine
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).
SYSTEMS FOR CRANKCASE VENTILATION
Systems are provided for a crankcase ventilation system. In one example, a crankcase ventilation (CCV) system for an engine configured to transmit crankcase gases into a clean side air duct, the clean side air duct comprising a sensor and a crankcase ventilation spigot, wherein the crankcase ventilation spigot is configured to be disposed downstream of the sensor, the crankcase ventilation spigot having an outlet configured to direct crankcase gases emerging from the crankcase ventilation spigot away from the sensor.
Method and Device for Inspecting the Functionality of a Crankcase Ventilation System of an Internal Combustion Engine
The disclosure relates to a method and a device for checking the functionality of a crankcase ventilation system of an internal combustion engine. The crankcase ventilation system includes two crankcase ventilation lines arranged between a crankcase outlet of a crankcase and an associated introduction point into an air path of the internal combustion engine, via which crankcase ventilation lines gas can be introduced from the crankcase into the air path. The method includes measuring a pressure in the crankcase, supplying the measured pressure values to a control unit, and calculating the gradient of the measured pressure. The method also includes performing a gradient check, checking whether the gradient satisfies a specified criterion, and returning to the measurement of the pressure if the gradient satisfies the specified criterion. The method also includes recording an entry in a fault memory if the gradient does not satisfy the specified criterion.
Vehicle drive comprising vacuum system and ejector
A vehicle drive having a vacuum system for a vehicle having an internal combustion engine that is connected to a supply air line and to an exhaust air line. The vacuum system has an ejector. A propellant gas line opens into a nozzle channel of a propellant nozzle of the ejector. The nozzle channel opens into a mixing chamber of the ejector through a nozzle opening. A suction line opens into the mixing chamber and the mixing chamber on an outlet side opens directly or indirectly into a mixed gas line. The mixed gas line opens into the supply air line. The suction line is connected to a vacuum consumer, and the nozzle opening in the propellant nozzle is formed by a nozzle edge having teeth and/or corrugations.

BLOW-BY GAS FILTRATION ASSEMBLY WITH SUPPORT AND CONTROL SHAFT
A blow-by gas filtration assembly has an axis and includes a main body having a filtration chamber fitted with an outlet mouth at the axis. A filter group extends along the axis having a hollow cylindrical shape with a central chamber. An engine group operatively connects to the filter group for controlling its rotation about the axis. The engine assembly includes a rotor and a stator. A support and control shaft formed as a hollow body extends along the axis and includes an engine portion on which the rotor integrally mounts and a filter portion on which the filter group integrally mounts so that controlled rotation of the rotor corresponds to rotation of the shaft and thus of the filter group. The filter portion includes an outlet duct of the filtered blow-by gases inside which the outflow of the filtered blow-by gases towards the outlet mouth takes place.
Suction device for crankcase ventilation
The invention enables an adequate crankcase negative pressure in an internal combustion engine, in all operating ranges to the extent possible and using a suction device for the crankcase ventilation of an internal combustion engine, which suction device is equipped with a housing, a controllable electric motor and a compressor for conveying crankcase gas, which compressor is driven by the electric motor, the compressor having connection points for a crankcase ventilation line, such that the crankcase pressure of the internal combustion engine is controllable by controlling the electric motor.
TANK VENTILATION
The invention relates to an internal combustion engine comprising a turbocharger between an air filter and a crankcase, a fuel tank, and a ventilation arrangement for the fuel tank, comprising a jet suction pump.
BLOW-BY GAS SYSTEM
This blow-by gas system is provided with: a blow-by gas flow path through which a blow-by gas discharged from an internal combustion engine passes; and an oil separator disposed midway along the blow-by gas flow path. A downstream end of the blow-by gas flow path connects to at least one of a predetermined portion of an intake passageway and a midway portion of an air introduction passageway. The predetermined portion is a portion at which at least some of the blow-by gas that has flowed into the intake passageway flows into the air introduction passageway together with an intake air in the intake passageway.
