Operating combustion engine with crankcase vented by oil separator involves separating solid/liquid components in and/or after oil separator as condensate in separator, feeding to collection container

摘要

The method involves separating solid and/or liquid components in and/or after an oil separator (14) as a condensate in a separator (20) and feeding them to a collection container (24). The condensate is emptied out of the separator and fed to a collection container at predefined intervals, especially fixed time intervals or intervals determined by engine performance. An independent claim is also included for the following: (a) an internal combustion engine.
