APPARATUS FOR CLEANING CRANKCASE GASES

摘要

A rotor-type apparatus (10) for centrifugal cleaning of crankcase gases from a combustion engine. The rotor (16) is hydraulically driven by pressurized oil by means of a turbine wheel (32) located in an oil collection chamber (30). A pressure equalizing and gas discharging conduit (46), which extends into the collection chamber (30) and has an upper aperture (48) located above a liquid level (h) of the oil in the collection chamber (30) during the operation, is connected to an outlet conduit (44) for the propellant oil from the collection chamber (30).
