Abstract:
An engine includes: a first part that is provided in a first passage that interconnects an inside of a crankcase and a part of an intake passage at a downstream side of an adjustment part adjusting an intake air amount and changes gas flow in the first passage; and a second part that is provided in a second passage that interconnects the inside of the crankcase and a part of the intake passage located at an upstream side of the adjustment part and changes gas flow in the second passage. If an engine temperature is higher than a given value, and the degree of fuel decreasing correction exceeds a given value, the first part decreases the gas flow rate through the first passage and the second part restricts a flow direction in the second passage to a direction in which gas flows to the crankcase from the intake passage.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for flowing crankcase gases through an aspirator arranged in a PCV line. The aspirator regulates PCV flow, and may also generate vacuum depending on a position of a pintle extendable across a horizontal passage of the aspirator. When regulating PCV flow and not generating vacuum, the aspirator is fully closed and crankcase gases in the horizontal passage are metered through an orifice in the pintle. When generating vacuum, the aspirator is at least partially opened and PCV flow through the horizontal passage generates vacuum at a vacuum port of the aspirator.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (1) for ventilating a crankcase of an internal combustion engine, comprising a ventilation line leading from the crankcase to the suction line of the internal combustion engine, an oil-mist separator (2) for separating the oil parts from the blow-by-gases containing the oil-mist from the crankcase is arranged in the path thereof. Also, said device (1) comprises a pump (3) which is arranged upstream of the oil-mist separator (2) and which is used to produce a negative pressure. The invention is characterized in that the oil-mist separator (2) and the pump (3) are embodied as connected modules thus providing a particularly compact structure.
Abstract:
An inertial gas-liquid separator and method is provided, including variable orifice jet nozzle structure having a variable orifice area dependent upon axial movement of a plunger relative to a housing sleeve, and in another embodiment having first and second flow branches, with the first flow branch being continuously open, and the second flow branch having a variable flow controller controlling flow therethrough.
Abstract:
A method and a system for correcting combustion in an engine to control for the effect of crankcase gases in the intake system are disclosed. The system includes one or more sensors in the crankcase ventilation system. An air to fuel ratio sensor may be disposed within a breather line and/or a PCV line of the crankcase ventilation system to monitor crankcase gases.
Abstract:
A housing for an internal combustion engine with a PCV valve for crankcase ventilation, including a valve housing and a valve insert, wherein the valve housing comprises a pressure-side opening which is connected to a pressure space carrying blow-by gases and a suction-side opening which is connected to a suction space, wherein the valve insert includes a valve body displaceably guided in the valve housing and a spring, wherein in an pressure-less state the valve body is pre-loaded towards, and rests on, a valve seat, wherein the valve body, exclusively controlled by a defined positive pressure in the pressure space relative to the suction space, is automatically displaceable to an open position against the force of the spring in order to provide a ventilation opening for blow-by gases between the pressure space and the suction space, wherein the valve housing includes two separate valve housing parts, wherein the valve seat is integrated into a first valve housing part and the first valve housing part is integrated into the housing forming a single piece, and a second valve housing part can be connected to the first valve housing part with the valve insert inserted in between to form a complete valve, and wherein the pressure-side opening is provided in the first valve housing part and the suction-side opening is provided in the second valve housing part.
Abstract:
A separator device for a system for recirculation of the blow-by gases of an internal combustion engine includes a casing containing a separation chamber and having an inlet for communication with the engine crankcase and an outlet for communication with the engine intake manifold, and drainage outlets ending in the engine crankcase, for returning the liquid separated in the separation chamber into the engine crankcase. Actuator means sensitive to pressure in the engine crankcase are associated to the inlet and to the drainage outlets so that when the pressure in the engine crankcase is higher than the pressure in the separator device, the inlet is open and the drainage outlets are closed, while when the pressure in the engine crankcase is lower than the pressure in the separator device, the inlet is closed and the drainage outlets are open.
Abstract:
A working gas circulation engine includes a combustion chamber that can expand a working gas, which has a specific heat ratio higher than that of the air, with the combustion between an oxidizing agent and a fuel; a circulation path that can allow the working gas to circulate from a suction side to an exhaust side of the combustion chamber and can supply the same again to the combustion chamber; a feed means that can feed the gas in a pressure-reduction target section, which is the section whose pressure is to be reduced, to the outside, and a control means that operates the feed means for feeding the gas in the pressure-reduction target section, when the pressure in the pressure-reduction target section is higher than a predetermined pressure that is set in advance.
Abstract:
A positive crankcase ventilation system for an internal combustion engine comprises an intake manifold having a plurality of intake runners configured to deliver combustion air to the internal combustion engine. An intake manifold positive crankcase ventilation passage is disposed in the intake manifold and is in fluid communication with a source of blow-by gas from the engine. A positive crankcase ventilation distribution channel is formed adjacent to the sealing face of the intake manifold and a modular positive crankcase ventilation distribution conduit assembly is disposed in the positive crankcase ventilation distribution channel and extends from the positive crankcase ventilation passage to the plurality of intake runners for delivery of the blow-by gas thereto.
Abstract:
This invention is to provide a fuel-air separation structure improvement for engine blow-by, which features an extra oil recirculation tube set up in between the bottom of the fuel-air separator and the engine, where the flow connection of the oil recirculation tube is controlled by a check valve, and the direction of the check valve is enabled only in a unidirectional way, pointing from the fuel-air separator to the crankcase of the engine, whereas the reverse direction is being cut off. By means of the aforementioned structure, the problems of carbon deposits in engine and exhaust pollution due to an excess of oil along with blow-by in the fuel-air separator can thus be substantially improved.
