Abstract

Fuel vapor, water vapor, and exhaust gas components in the blowby gas can reduce the performance of the engine oil and accelerate its oxidation and deterioration. Water vapor condenses in the oil, forming sludge that blocks the oil lines. Acidic gases in the exhaust gas mix into the lubrication system, causing corrosion and accelerated wear of engine parts. Blowby gas can also cause excessive crankcase pressure, damaging the crankcase seal and causing oil leakage. To meet increasingly stringent emission regulations and improve fuel economy, diesel engines must be equipped with oil-gas separation devices.
