Embodiment Construction
[0020] Referring generally to the drawings, embodiments disclosed herein relate to a crankcase ventilation ("CV") system having a check valve in conjunction with a pump, such as an oil injection pump. Check valves allow temporary blockage or limit the return of engine oil from the engine to the CV system during cold running conditions. When the check valve is closed (i.e. clogged oil flow back to the crankcase ventilation filter), the continuous drain function of the crankcase ventilation filter may be reduced. After the engine oil warms up to a threshold temperature, the engine oil becomes thin enough (eg, not viscous at low temperatures) to form a high velocity flow as the oil passes through the nozzles of the CV system. The high velocity flow creates the shear force needed to draw engine oil from the crankcase ventilation filter and back to the crankcase or engine. Once the required shear is generated, the check valve opens to allow normal crankcase ventilation filter disc...
