Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for separating certain materials produced by an internal combustion engine.
  • This type of separation device is more particularly, but not exclusively, arranged between the crankcase (at the crankcase or the rocker cover) and the air intake of the internal combustion engine, that is to say that the inlet of the separating device is directly connected to the engine casing while the output of the device is directly connected to the air intake of the internal combustion engine.
  • filter medium is meant a media having a filtering function for the solid particles and / or a coalescent function for the liquid particles.
  • certain materials materials produced by the internal combustion engine and which are present inside the crankcase these materials produced by the internal combustion engine consist in particular, on the one hand, of a liquid part such as an aerosol whose distribution in number of droplets is centered, for example, around 0.6 microns and an oil film deposited on the walls of the housing, and on the other hand, a gaseous part such as fuel vapors, water or oil, and finally a solid part such as soot suspended in the gas or in the liquid contained in the housing.
  • a liquid part such as an aerosol whose distribution in number of droplets is centered, for example, around 0.6 microns and an oil film deposited on the walls of the housing
  • a gaseous part such as fuel vapors, water or oil
  • a solid part such as soot suspended in the gas or in the liquid contained in the housing.
  • crankcase gas recirculation circuit or blow-by gas by the skilled person.
  • the intake of air by the engine can create a vacuum in the intake line and thus via the crankcase recirculation circuit, this vacuum is applied in part to the inside of the crankcase.
  • This depression is a function of the operating conditions of the engine, that is to say the engine speed and its load, this depression then promoting the evacuation of gases or materials produced in the housing ensuring the integrity of the seals between the engine block and the crankcase.
  • the flexible membrane disposed inside the housing of the separation device forms a shutter valve which then acts to limit the vacuum in the housing by completely closing the gas circuit in case of excessive depression.

  • the present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above.

Indeed, the filter medium 7 captures the droplets of oil and water which then as they cross the thickness of the media from upstream to downstream, will be united in drops more voluminous which finally regroup on the inner periphery of the filter media.
