Abstract
An internal combustion engine, such as a stationary reciprocating piston engine, is provided. The internal combustion engine includes at least one turbo charger unit. At least one supply conduct is configured to convey a medium from the at least one turbo charger unit to at least one separation device, which is configured to separate foreign substances, in particular oil, from the medium. At least one foreign substance conduct is configured to convey the separated foreign substances from the at least one separation device to at least one crankcase.
Claims20
An internal combustion engine comprising:
- at least one turbo charger unit with at least one supply conduit;
- the at least one supply conduit configured to convey a medium from the at least one turbo charger unit to at least one separation device;
- the at least one separation device configured to separate foreign substances and a remaining gaseous flow from the medium;
- at least one foreign substance conduit configured to convey the foreign substances from the at least one separation device into at least one crankcase;
- and
- at least one remainder gas conduit configured to convey the remaining gaseous flow from the at least one separation device into the at least one crankcase.
A system, comprising:
- a crankcase ventilation system configured to ventilate a crankcase of an internal combustion engine, wherein the crankcase ventilation system comprises:
- at least one separator;
- at least one supply conduit configured to convey a medium from at least one turbo charger to the at least one separator, wherein the at least one separator is configured to separate foreign substances and a remaining gaseous flow from the medium;
- at least one foreign substance conduit configured to convey the foreign substances from the at least one separator into the at least one crankcase;
- and
- at least one remainder gas conduit configured to convey the remaining gaseous flow from the at least one separator into the at least one crankcase.
A system, comprising:
- a crankcase ventilation system configured to ventilate a crankcase of an internal combustion engine, wherein the crankcase ventilation system comprises:
- a separator;
- a supply conduit configured to convey a leakage flow from at least one component of the internal combustion engine to the separator, wherein the separator is configured to separate foreign substances and a remaining gaseous flow from the leakage flow;
- a foreign substance conduit configured to convey the foreign substances from the separator into the crankcase;
- and
- a remainder gas conduit configured to convey the remaining gaseous flow from the separator into the crankcase.
