An oil centrifuge has an integral, rotatably mounted centrifuge rotor and a feed tube connected to the centrifuge rotor. A flow path is provided that supplies oil to the centrifuge rotor. The feed tube is a section of the flow path. The flow path has a throttle point having a reduced throttle cross section that is reduced relative to an upstream flow path cross section of the flow path upstream of the throttle point.

An apparatus for the cleaning of crankcase gas from an internal combustion engine includes a housing and a separation chamber for the crankcase gas with a centrifugal rotor arranged for the cleaning of the crankcase gas in the separation chamber. The centrifugal rotor includes a drive shaft extending into a drive chamber of the apparatus. A turbine is connected to the drive shaft. A nozzle is arranged to receive pressurized liquid from the combustion engine and to direct the pressurized liquid in a jet from a nozzle opening against the turbine for rotation of the centrifugal rotor. An adapter element is configured such that the apparatus is mountable onto the combustion engine with a drive liquid passage in communication with the nozzle. The nozzle is integrally formed with the adapter element with a nozzle passage having a conical shape which converges in the flow direction towards the nozzle opening.

A cover for a centrifugal filter, in which when water separated from oil is discharged through outlets provided in covers, can reduce the amount of oil leaking out with mixed gas and water. The cover constitutes the centrifugal filter by covering a rotor that rotates so as to filter impurities contained in oil by using a centrifugal force. The rotor is provided with at least one nozzle through which filtered oil is jetted. The cover includes: an inner cover configured to cover the rotor and including a first outlet and a first inlet; an outer cover provided outside the inner cover; and an oil leak prevention member provided in the first outlet.

A separation assembly comprises a housing, a jet that expels a fluid within the housing, and a turbine assembly positioned within the housing and positioned so as to be contacted by the fluid expelled from the jet. The fluid causes the turbine assembly to rotate about a center rotational axis within the housing. The turbine assembly comprises a first turbine portion and a second turbine portion that are separately formed from each other and attachable together. The first turbine portion comprises a plurality of first vanes and the second turbine portion comprises a plurality of second vanes.

A separation assembly comprises a housing and a bearing plate assembly. The housing contains a turbine assembly and a rotor portion and defines a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The bearing plate assembly is adjustably attachable to the housing and defines a drive jet that directs fluid from the fluid inlet to the turbine assembly. The bearing plate assembly is mountable to the housing in multiple different orientations such that the relative position of the fluid inlet of the housing and the drive jet of the bearing plate assembly is adjustable.
