Crankcase ventilation element

A crankcase ventilation element, comprising:

• a plate comprising a first port, the first port defining a first longitudinal axis extending from the plate in a first direction, wherein the first port defines an inlet opening to receive a fluid and a drain to drain a contaminant separated from the fluid, wherein the inlet opening and the drain are open parallel to the first direction;
• a housing coupled with the plate, the housing defining an axial centerline, the housing comprising:
• a second port defining a second longitudinal axis extending from the housing in a second direction opposite the first direction;
• and
• a flange extending around a perimeter of the housing, the flange comprising a sealing surface;
• and
• a filter media disposed between the plate and the housing,
• wherein:
• the first port and the second port intersect the axial centerline;
• the first port is axially offset from the second port;
• and the first port is laterally offset from the second port.

A crankcase ventilation element, comprising:

• a plate comprising a first port, the first port extending from the plate in a first direction, and a plenum;
• a housing coupled with the plate, the housing defining an axial centerline, wherein a majority of the plenum is disposed on a first side of the axial centerline and a majority of the first port is disposed on a second side of the axial centerline, the first side opposite the second side, and wherein the housing comprises:
• a second port extending from the housing in a second direction opposite the first direction;
• and
• a flange extending around a perimeter of the housing, the flange comprising a sealing surface;
• and
• a filter media disposed between the plate and the housing,
• wherein:
• the first port and the second port intersect the axial centerline;
• the first port is axially offset from the second port;
• and
• the first port is laterally offset from the second port.

A crankcase ventilation element, comprising:

• a plate, comprising:
• a plate body;
• and
• a first port defining a first longitudinal axis extending from the plate body in a first direction, the first port comprising a first sealing element;
• and
• a housing coupled with the plate, the housing comprising:
• a first end;
• a second end opposite the first end;
• a flange extending around a perimeter of the housing, the flange comprising a seal surface, the seal surface defining a plane orthogonal to the first direction;
• and
• a second port disposed proximate to the first end of the housing, the second port defining a second longitudinal axis extends from the housing away from the plate in a second direction opposite the first direction and orthogonal to the plane, the second port comprising a second sealing element,
• wherein the first sealing element is disposed a first seal distance from the plane and the second sealing element disposed a second seal distance from the plane, the second seal distance greater than the first seal distance;
• and
• wherein the first port is disposed closer to the first end of the housing than the second end.

A crankcase ventilation element, comprising:

• a plate, comprising:
• a plate body;
• a first port extending from the plate body in a first direction, the first port comprising a first sealing element, an inlet opening configure to receive a fluid and a drain;
• and a plenum extending from the plate body to the first port, the plenum comprising a separator configured separate a contaminant from the fluid, and wherein the drain is configured to drain the contaminant separated from the fluid out of the crankcase ventilation element;
• and
• a housing coupled with the plate, the housing comprising:
• a first end;
• a second end opposite the first end;
• a flange extending around a perimeter of the housing, the flange comprising a seal surface, the seal surface defining a plane;
• and
• a second port disposed proximate to the first end of the housing, the second port extends from the housing away from the plate in a second direction opposite the first direction, the second port comprising a second sealing element,
• wherein the first sealing element is disposed a first seal distance from the plane and the second sealing element disposed a second seal distance from the plane, the second seal distance greater than the first seal distance;
• wherein the first port is disposed closer to the first end of the housing than the second end;
• and
• wherein the housing defines an axial centerline, wherein a majority of the plenum is disposed on a first side of the axial centerline and a majority of the first port is disposed on a second side of the axial centerline.
