There is provided a breather device for an engine and capable of suppressing forming of separated oil into mist again. The breather device for the engine includes an oil filter chamber at a midpoint of a blow-by gas passing route and an oil filter housed in the oil filter chamber. The oil filter chamber is partitioned with a partition wall into an upstream filter chamber and a downstream filter chamber arranged in a front-back direction, the filter is formed by an upstream filter and a downstream filter, the upstream filter is housed in the upstream filter chamber and the downstream filter is housed in the downstream filter chamber, respectively, and a side gas expansion chamber is provided beside the oil filter chamber so that blow-by gas flows from the upstream filter into the downstream filter through the side gas expansion chamber.

A separator system comprises a main separator, and an additional separator including one of a pre-separator, post separator, or line-of-sight baffle. The additional separator separates liquid particles from an air/liquid mixture and comprises an inlet, an air outlet, a liquid outlet, and a plurality of posts disposed between the inlet and the air outlet. The posts are arranged in a staggered array and comprise a convex end portion having an impaction surface, a portion of liquid particles from the air/liquid mixture adhering as a liquid film to the impaction surface, and a hook end portion positioned downstream the convex end portion and including hooks having an end and a collection pocket disposed between the impaction surface and the end. The collection pocket collects the portion of liquid particles adhered as the liquid film to the impaction surface.

A two-stroke engine includes a cylinder having a combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is delimited by a piston guided in a reciprocating manner in the cylinder and drives a crankshaft. A first intake channel opens into the crankcase interior. A transfer channel opens into the crankcase interior via a transfer window on a cylinder bore of the cylinder and via a passage opening. A second intake channel is provided for supplying scavenging air to the transfer channel. The first intake channel and the second intake channel are configured for supplying air. An injection valve configured for injecting the entire quantity of fuel to be supplied to the engine directly into the crankcase interior is disposed on the crankcase. A method for operating a two-stroke engine provides that the entire quantity of fuel to be supplied to the engine via a metering installation is supplied directly to the crankcase interior.

Provided is a two-stroke internal combustion engine, including: a fuel injection valve configured to supply a fuel into a crank chamber; an intake passage configured to allow only air to be sucked thereinto under a negative pressure generated when a piston is actuated; and a scavenging passage that allows communication between the crank chamber and a combustion chamber. Further, air passing through the intake passage is introduced into the scavenging passage, and air stagnant in the scavenging passage at end of air suction contributes to scavenging.
