Description

TITLE OF INVENTION:A SEPARATOR SYSTEM FORAN ENGINE AND A METHOD OF SEPARATION THEREOFTECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a separator system for an engine. More particularly but not exclusively relates to a separator system for an engine and a method of operation of the separator system thereof.BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditionally breather systems of an internal combustion engine predominantly utilise a labyrinth-type configuration in a cylinder head cover to separate oil mist from blowby gases. These blow-by gases consist of a complex mixture of air, burned and unburned gases, lubricant and / or lubricant mist such as oil mist. These blow-by gases or blow-by fluids, if not ventilated, inevitably condense and combine with the oil vapor present in the crankcase, forming oil sludge or causing the oil to become diluted with unburned fuel. This configuration works by channeling the blowby gases through a complex, tortuous path, increasing the oil mist's residence time within the labyrinth. Theoretically, this prolonged contact allows for the effective separation of oil from the blowby gases before they exit through a breather hose of the engine.

[0003] Despite its theoretical benefits, the labyrinth-based system exhibits significant limitations in practical applications. One major drawback is its lack of sensitivity to variations in a crankcase pressure of the engine, which fluctuates with changes in engine Revolution Per Minute (RPM), operational temperatures, and combustion pressures. As a result, the labyrinth system's effectiveness in separating oil mist from blow-by gases is constrained, particularly under varying engine conditions.

[0004] In particular, the labyrinth configuration fails to adapt dynamically to changes in engine RPM and increased crankcase pressure. This static nature of the system is exacerbated in scenarios such as driving downhill, where gravitationalforces and the non-application of an accelerator can disrupt the separation process and reduce system efficiency. Consequently, this passive approach often proves inadequate, especially for larger engines where the separation rate needs to scale with RPM to effectively filter the oil mist from the gases.

[0005] Under high RPM conditions, if the labyrinth configuration cannot keep pace with the increased volume of blow-by gases, it risks allowing a portion of oil vapours to pass through with the crankcase. This not only compromises the efficiency of ventilation of the breather systems but also leads to potential environmental and operational issues. Unfiltered oil vapour can contribute to increased emissions, resulting in higher levels of pollution. Additionally, oil accumulation in the air filter due to ineffective crankcase ventilation can lead to increased oil consumption and potential engine performance issues.

[0006] The existing breather ventilation systems relying on labyrinth configuration are limited by their inability to adapt to dynamic engine conditions. The passive nature of these systems often fails to meet the needs of modem engines, particularly under rigorous operating conditions, highlighting the need for more dynamic and responsive solutions to ensure efficient oil separation and mitigate problems associated with the oil-mist.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide an improved separator system addressing the limitations of existing breather ventilation that uses labyrinth configuration to separate oil from blowby gases.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the disclosed invention is not limited to the present embodiments.

[0053] As shown in Figure - 1, a separator system (200) for an engine (100) is provided. The separator system (200) comprises a rotating separation member (201). The rotating separation member (201) is configured to direct blowby gases (G), and to separate one or more operating fluid (F) from the blowby gases (G). In one embodiment, the operating fluid (F) can include lubricating oil for the engine or parts thereof. The operating fluid (F) can also include other liquids used for cooling the engine with or without lubrication properties. Operating fluids (F) can be organic, mineral or synthetic or combination thereof. The rotating separation member (201) is configured to be coupled on a camshaft (101) of the engine (100) to rotate integrally with the camshaft (101). When the engine (100) starts operating the camshaft (101) rotates simultaneously along with it. Since the rotating separation member (201) is coupled with the camshaft (101) it rotates along with it. The separator system (200) comprises a strainer member (202) and one or more outlets (203). The strainer member (202) is connected with the rotating separation member (201). The strainer member (202) is configured to receive the blowby gases (G) from the rotating separation member (201). The one or more outlets (203) are configured to interface with the strainer member (202). The one or more outlets (203) are configured to direct the blowby gases (G) out of a cylinder head (100H) of the engine (100) as shown in Figure - 7. The one or more outlets (203) comprises a first outlet portion (203A) and a second outlet portion (203B). The first outlet portion (203 A) is protruding out of a cover member (102) as shown in Figure - 7. The first fuel outlet (203 A) is connected to the air box. The airbox is configured to collect and air before it enters the engine (100) for combustion. The second outlet portion (203B) is mounted on the mounting portion (211) of the strainer member(202). The second outlet portion (203B) is configured to interface with the first outlet portion (203 A).

[0054] Figure 2 - 4 are taken together for discussion. In Figure - 2, the rotating separation member (201) comprises a first portion (201 A), a second portion (201B), a securing member (204), a central member (207). The first portion (201A) comprises a plurality of baffles (205). The plurality of baffles (205) is configured to separate the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G). The plurality of baffles (205) are facing towards second portion (201B). The second portion (20 IB) comprises a plurality of recesses (206). The plurality of recesses(206) is configured to receive the plurality of baffles (205) of the first portion (201 A). The securing member (204) is configured to secure the rotating separation member (201) on the camshaft (101). The central member (207) is configured to be mounted on the camshaft (101) along an axial direction and the central member(207) is configured to mount the first portion (201 A) and the second portion (201B). The central member (207) comprises a plurality of openings (2070).

[0055] The plurality of openings (2070) is disposed on a cylindrical portion of the central member (207). The plurality of openings (2070) directs a flow of the blowby gases (G) towards the strainer member (202). The plurality of openings (2070) is aligned with a plurality of drain openings (101O) of the camshaft (101).

[0056] The plurality of baffles (205) is configured to separate the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G) and direct the one or more operating fluids (F) towards the engine (100). The plurality of openings (2070) is configured to guide the one or more operating fluids (F) back into the engine (100). The central member (207) is configured to rotate integrally with the camshaft (101). The central member (207) comprises a flow path (208). The flow path (208) is disposed in an axial direction of the camshaft (101). The flow path (208) is connected to the plurality of openings (2070). The flow path (208) is configured to direct the blowby gases (G) toward an air box of the engine (100).

[0057] Since the rotating separation member (201) is coupled on the camshaft (101) of the engine (100) to rotate integrally with the camshaft (101), accordingly, rotation of the rotating separation member (201) is directly proportional to the engine RPM.When the rotating separation member (201) rotates it, the plurality of baffles (205) generates a centrifugal force, simultaneously suction from an airbox (not shown) of the engine (100), draws the blowby gases (G) through the plurality of openings (2070). The centrifugal force generated by the rotating separation member (201) traps vapours of the one or more operating fluids (F) and separates them from the blowby gases (G). Thereafter the one or more operating fluids (F), after being separated form the blowby gases (G), are directed back towards lower portions of the engine (100) through the plurality of openings (2070) and the blowby gases are directed toward the one or more outlets (203) and into the air box of the vehicle (100). Further, a negative pressure in the air box helps in suction of the blowby gases (G) from the rotating separation member (201). Thus, the separator system (200) can work and efficiently separate the operating fluid (F) from the blow by gases (G) while deploying the rotating separation member (201) alone.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, for a higher cc engine, after separation of the one or more operating fluids (F), the blowby gases (G) are directed toward the strainer member (202) through a joining portion (209 A). The joining portion (209A) is connected to the flow path (208) and comprises a predefined profile. The predefined profile is configured to prevent any leakage of the blowby gases (G) coming from the rotating separation member (201) and enables a free disposition of the joining portion (209A) inside the camshaft (101) with a predefined clearance. This predefined clearance enables a free rotation of the rotating separation member (201) around the joining portion (209A). The strainer member (202) comprises a plurality of strainer baffles (202A). The plurality of strainer baffles (202A) is configured to separate the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G).

[0059] As per an embodiment of the present disclosure, the separator system (200) comprises a strainer member (202). The strainer member (202) is centrally attached to the camshaft (101) via the joining portion (209A), with a slight clearance to allow for movement and to ensure a secure yet flexible connection. This clearance is crucial for accommodating the rotational movement of the camshaft (101) without causing stress or wear on the strainer member (202). As per an advantage of thepresent disclosure, the clearance addresses the problem where the strainer member (202) is made up of plastic and the camshaft (101) is made up of metal. This difference in typically add complexity in connection process as it requires a secure yet flexible coupling to accommodate the rotational movement without causing wear or damage. Further, the plastic of the strainer member (202) will help in reducing the weight of the separator system (200).

[0060] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the joining portion (209A) comprises a thread-like structure on its outer circumference. This thread-like structure engages with the inner surface of the camshaft (101) creating a tighter seal and helping to restrict unseparated blowby gases (G) from escaping into the airbox. The thread-like structure makes the flow path (208) leakproof, thereby enhancing the separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G).

[0061] As also shown in Figure - 2, after being filtered in the rotating separation member (201) the blowby gases reaches the strainer member (202). The strainer member (202) comprises a first flow portion (209) and a second flow portion (210). The first flow portion (209) is connected to the central member (207). The second flow portion (210) is connected to the first flow portion (209). The second flow portion (210) comprises a plurality of strainer baffles (202A), as shown in Figure - 3, and a mounting portion (211). The plurality of strainer baffles (202A) is disposed inside the second flow portion (210) in an inclined configuration. More specifically, the strainer baffles (202A) are facing opposite to the direction of flow of blow by gases. The plurality of strainer baffles (202A) is configured to separate the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G). The inclined configuration is configured to facilitate a downward flow of the one or more operating fluids (F) inside a bottom of the second flow portion (210) and toward the first flow portion (209). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the strainer member (202) is mounted at a substantial 90-degree angle, which is necessary to maintain effective separation of the blowby gases (G) and return of the one or more operating fluids (F) inside the engine (100). In this embodiment, the configuration of the plurality of strainer baffles (202A) would be altered. This altered configuration of the plurality of strainer baffles (202A) would create a paththat directs the one or more operating fluids (F) towards the engine (100) despite the vertical orientation of the strainer member (202). The alteration in the plurality of strainer baffles (202A) may include creating a channel or an inclined surface that guide the one or more operating fluids (F) downwards, ensuring that it still reaches the lower or other portions of the engine (100) efficiently;.

[0062] As per an advantage of the present disclosure, the addition of the plurality of strainer baffles (202A) to the second flow portion (210) of the strainer member (202) serves as an additional step in the separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G). By introducing the plurality of strainer baffles (202A), the flow of the blowby gases (G) will be restricted, enhancing the separation efficiency of the separator system (200). The plurality of strainer baffles (202A) ensures that the particles of the one or more operating fluids (F) are effectively trapped and redirected back into the engine (100). Thereby, preventing them from reaching a transmission of a vehicle. This addition of the plurality of strainer baffles (202A) not only reduces the risk of contamination of the one or more operating fluids (F) in the gearbox but also helps to decrease emissions.

[0063] As shown in Figure - 3, the camshaft (101) comprises an outer surface, an inner surface and a plurality of drain openings (1010). The outer surface is configured to fixedly mount the rotating separation member (201). The inner surface is configured to freely receive the joining portion (209A) shown in Figure - 2 with a predefined clearance. The plurality of drain openings (101O) is disposed on the inner surface and the outer surface. The plurality of drain openings (1010) is configured to receive the one or more operating fluids (F) from the joining portion (209A). The plurality of drain openings (101O) is configured to guide the one or more operating fluids (F) back into the cylinder head (100H). A configuration of the rotating separation member (201) is configured to vary based on a capacity of the engine (100). The configuration including a diameter and a width of the rotating separation member (201). This configuration of the rotating separation member (201) directly influences the capacity of separator system (200) to effectively separate the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G). For example, a larger diameter of the rotating separation member (201) increases thecentrifugal force exerted on particles of the one or more operating fluids (F), thereby enhancing their separation from the blowby gases (G).

[0064] Similarly, a greater width of the rotating separation member (201) provides more surface area for the particles of the one or more operating fluids (F) to be captured and directed back into the engine (100). The specific dimensions of the rotating separation member (201) i.e. its diameter and width must be calibrated based on the capacity of the engine (100). For example, the engine (100) with higher capacity will generate more blowby gases (G), which contain a higher volume of the one or more operating fluids (F). To efficiently handle this increased volume, a larger rotating separation member (201) with greater diameter and width is required. In another example, the engine (100) with smaller capacity will generate a low volume of the blowby gases (G). Therefore, the rotating separation member (201) of a smaller size can be used to achieve effective separation of the one or more operating fluids (F). This calibration ensures that the rotating separation member (201) operates optimally for any capacity of the engine (100), while maintaining efficient separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G) across different operating conditions. By altering the configuration of the rotating separation member (201), the separator system (200) ensures reliable performance, prevent entry of the one or more operating fluids (F) to atmosphere thereby reducing emissions.

[0065] Figures 5 - 6 are taken together for discussion, wherein an engine (100) is provided. The engine (100) comprises a cylinder head (100H). The cylinder head (100H) is mounted on the engine (100). The cylinder head (100H) comprises a camshaft (101) and a separator system (200). The camshaft (101) is rotatably mounted within the cylinder head (100H). The separator system (200) is configured to be operably connected to the camshaft (101) and the separator system (200) comprises a rotating separation member (201). The rotating separation member (201) is configured to be coupled with the camshaft (101) and to rotate integrally with the camshaft (101) to direct blowby gases (G) and the rotating separation member (201) is configured to separate one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gas (G). The rotating separation member (201) is configured to be in asynchronistic configuration with the camshaft (101). The synchronistic configuration is configured to provide a variable rate of separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G) based on an operation of the engine (100).

[0066] The separator system (200) is configured to be mounted over the cylinder head (100H). The separator system (200) comprises a strainer member (202) and one or more outlets (203). The strainer member (202) is connected with the rotating separation member (201). The strainer member (202) is configured to receive the blowby gas (G) from the rotating separation member (201). The strainer member (202) is configured to separate the remainder of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G). The strainer member (202) comprises a mounting portion (211). The mounting portion (211) is operably connected to the air box via the one or more outlets (203). The cylinder head (100H) comprises a supporting member (103), as shown in Figure 4. The supporting member (103) is configured to support the mounting portion (211) in the cylinder head (100H).

[0067] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the one or more outlets (203) are configured to interface with the rotating separation member (201) and the one or more outlets (203) are configured to direct the blowby gases (G) out of the cylinder head (100H) toward an air box.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the one or more outlets (203) are configured to interface with the strainer member (202) and the one or more outlets (203) are configured to direct the blowby gases (G) out of the cylinder head (100H) toward an air box.

[0069] As per an advantage of the present disclosure, the rotating separation member (201) can be calibrated for adjusting its separation efficiency of the blowby gases (G) from the one or more operating fluids (F) according to the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the engine (100). As the revolution of the engine (100) increases, the rotating separation member (201) can enhance separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G) to handle the higher volume of blowby gases (G) produced at higher RPMs. This ensures consistent performance across different operating conditions.

[0070] As shown in Figure 7 - 8, the engine (100) comprises an air box and a cover member (102). The air box is configured to provide air for a combustion in the engine (100). The cover member (102) is configured to enclose a top portion of the cylinder head (101H). The one or more outlets (203) are configured to direct the blowby gases (G) toward the air box. The one or more outlets (203) comprises a first outlet portion (203A) and a second outlet portion (203B). The first outlet portion (203 A) is protruding out of a cover member (102) and is connected to the air box. The separator system (200) comprises a transverse axis (X-X’) shown in Figure - 8 and a strainer member (202). The transverse axis (X-X’) is disposed perpendicular to an axial direction of the camshaft (101). The second flow portion (210) is configured to be inclined from the transverse axis (X-X’) to guide a movement of the one or more operating fluids (F) to the cylinder head (100H).

[0071] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the inclined configuration of the strainer member (202) in the cylinder head (101H) facilitates an easy movement of collected one or more operating fluid (F) back into the engine (100).

[0072] The strainer member (202) comprises a first flow portion (209) a second flow portion (210), as shown in Figure 3. The second flow portion (210) comprises a plurality of strainer baffles (202A). The plurality of strainer baffles (202A) is configured to separate the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G). The strainer member (202) is configured to guide the one or more operating fluids (F) toward the camshaft (101).

[0073] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the strainer member (202) may be mounted at a substantial 90-degree angle with the rotating separation member (201) and measure from the transverse axis (T-T’). In such configuration, the shape of the plurality of strainer baffles (202A) within the strainer member (202) would need to be changed. The change would create a path that directs the oil towards the engine despite the vertical orientation of strainer member (202). This might involve altering the plurality of strainer baffles (202A) to create channels or inclined surfaces that guide the oil downwards, ensuring that it still reaches the engine efficiently. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the strainer member (202) in the separator system (200) is strategically mounted at an angularconfiguration to facilitate the easy collection and movement of the one or more operating fluids (F) back into lower or other parts of the engine (100) such as the cylinder head, cylinder block and crankcase through predefined paths or simple downward motion. This angular mounting of the strainer member (202) ensures that gravity aids in directing the one or more operating fluids (F) towards other parts of the engine (100), enhancing the efficiency of the returning process of the one or more operating fluids (F). The angular mounting of the strainer member (202) allows the one or more operating fluids (F) to flow naturally and smoothly, reducing the likelihood of buildup of the one or more operating fluids (F) or blockage within the Stainer member (202).

[0074] The second flow portion (210) is connected to the first flow portion (209) at a predefined angle. The predefined angle is a measured from the transverse axis (X- X’). In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the second flow portion (210) comprises a tapered profile. The tapered profile is configured to guide the one or more operating fluids (F) to flow towards the first flow portion (209). The first flow portion (209) is configured to guide the one or more operating fluids (F) toward the camshaft (101).

[0075] The separator system (200) comprises a plurality of sensors. The plurality of sensors is configured to measure a plurality of parameters of the separator system (200). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the plurality of sensors may include but is not limited to a plurality of pressure sensors, a plurality of temperature sensors, a plurality of particle sensors, a plurality of level sensors, a plurality of flow sensors, a plurality of differential pressure sensors etc.

[0076] The plurality of pressure sensors monitor the pressure within the separator system (200). These help ensure that the separator system (200) is operating within the correct pressure range, which is crucial for efficient separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G). The plurality of temperature sensors tracks the temperature of the oil and air mixture within the separator system (200). The temperature data can be important for ensuring that the separator operates effectively and to prevent overheating or other issues. The plurality of level sensors detect the level of oil collected in the separator system (200). They help indetermining when the separator system (200) needs to be emptied or when maintenance is required. The plurality of flow sensors measure the flow rate of the air and oil mixture in the blowby gases (G) passing through the separator system (200). This information helps in optimizing the separation process and ensuring that the separator system (200) operates efficiently. The plurality of differential pressure sensors measures the pressure difference across the separator elements such as the rotating separation member (201) and the strainer member (202) etc. to determine how effectively the one or more operating fluids can be captured and to identify any potential blockages or maintenance needs. The information received from the plurality of sensors is transferred to an instrument cluster of the vehicle (100) to convey it to a user of the vehicle (100) through one or more components of the vehicle (100). In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the information received from the plurality of sensors can also be used by the service team to determine the health and life of the engine (100).

[0077] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, a method (500) of operation of a separator system (200) in an engine (100) is provided. The method (500) comprises a plurality of steps. A first step of a plurality of steps involves directing (501) blowby gases (G) generated in the engine (100) toward a camshaft (101) of the engine (100) by the rotating separation member (201) of the separator system (200). A second step of the plurality of steps involves separating (502) one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G) by the rotating separation member (201). Athird step of the plurality of steps involves, draining (503) the one or more operating fluids (F) into a cylinder head (100H) through a plurality of drain openings (1010) by the camshaft (101). The blowby gases (G) are now free of most of the one or more operating fluids (F), and is directed from the center of the rotating separation member (201) and toward one or more outlets (203) of the separator system (200). Further, a negative pressure from the airbox suck the blowby gases (G) after separation from the rotating separation member (201).

[0078] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the blowby gases (G) after separation from the one or more operating fluids (F) are directed toward a strainer member (202). This flow ensures that the separated one or more operating fluids(F) particles are retained, and only the blowby gases (G) are allowed to pass through to the air box. This improves the efficiency of the separator system (200), ensuring a better separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) and reducing the amount of the one or more operating fluids (F) that escapes into the environment. By integrating the separator system (200) with the camshaft (101) and valve train of the engine (100), the rotating separation member (201) effectively leverages the engine's (100) existing components to enhance the overall performance of the separator system (200).

[0079] As shown in Figure - 10, the fourth step involves directing (504) a remainder of the blowby gases (G) towards a strainer member (202) of the separator system (200) by the rotating separation member (201). The fifth step involves straining (505) the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G) by the strainer member (202) of the separator system (200). The sixth step involves drawing (506) the blowby gases (G) from the strainer member (202) by an air box of the engine (100). The strainer member (202) links the rotating separation member (201) to the airbox. As the camshaft (101) rotates, the rotating separation member (201) also rotates, creating centrifugal force. Simultaneously, suction pressure from the air box draws the blowby gases (G) from the cylinder head (101H), which originates from the engine (100), through the rotating separation member (201). The centrifugal force generated by the rotating separation member (201) causes particles of the one or more operating fluids (F) to separate from the blowby gases (G). These heavier particles are pushed outward due to the centrifugal force, while the lighter blowby gases (G) move towards the center of the rotating separation member (201).

[0080] The seventh step involves separating (505A) of the one or more operating fluids (F) by a plurality of baffles (205) of the strainer member (202). The eight step involves sending (504B) the one or more operating fluids (F) collected by the strainer member (202) in the straining (505) toward the camshaft (101). The ninth step involves draining (507) the one or more operating fluids (F) from the strainer member (202) in the engine (100). After the one or more operating fluids (F) are separated, the cleaned air continues through the one or more outlets (203) and intothe airbox. This multi-stage separation process ensures that the blowby gases (G) are effectively filtered, with the one or more operating fluids (F) being redirected back into the engine (100) and cleaner air being expelled to the airbox. The use of plurality of baffles (205), a centrifugal force from the rotating separation member (201), and a pressure differentials between the cylinder head (101H) and the airbox all contribute to the high efficiency of the separator system (200).

[0081] According to the above disclosure, the present invention provides various advantages. In a preferred embodiment, the rotating separation member (201) is integrated with the camshaft (101). This integration ensures that the rotating separation member (201) operates efficiently and synchronously with the mechanical operations of the engine (100). Accordingly, this integral configuration of the rotating separation member (201) is capable enough to be adjusted as per the changes in rpm or pressure of the engine (100).

[0082] In the separator system (200) the blowby gases (G) are directed from the central member (207) of the rotating separation member (201) towards the air box of the engine. This flow of the blowby gases (G) ensures that the separated particles of the one or more operating fluids (F) are retained, and only air (i.e. after separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) form the blowby gases (G)) is allowed to pass through to the air box. This improves the efficiency of the ventilation of the cylinder head (101H), ensuring better separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G) and reduces the amount of the one or more operating fluids (F) that escapes into the air box.

[0083] By integrating the separator system with the camshaft (101), the rotating separation member (201) effectively leverages the existing components of the engine (100) to enhance the overall performance of the ventilation of the engine (100).

[0084] The rotating separation member (201) is equipped with the plurality of baffles (205). The plurality of baffles (205) plays a crucial role in enhancing the separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G).

[0085] After the one or more operating fluids (F) are separated, the cleaned air continues through the one or more outlets (203) and into the airbox. This multi-stage separation process ensures that the blowby gases (G) are effectively filtered, with the one or more operating fluids (F) being redirected back into the engine (100) and cleaner air being expelled to the airbox. The use of plurality of baffles (205), a centrifugal force from the rotating separation member (201), and a pressure differentials between the cylinder head (101H) and the airbox all contribute to the high efficiency of the separator system (200).

[0086] The addition of the plurality of strainer baffles (202A) to the second flow portion (210) of the strainer member (202) serves as an additional step in the separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G). By introducing the plurality of strainer baffles (202A), the flow of air and oil mist will be restricted, enhancing the separation efficiency of the separator system (200). The plurality of strainer baffles (202A) ensures that the particles of the one or more operating fluids (F) are effectively trapped and redirected back into the engine (100). Thereby, preventing them from reaching a transmission of a vehicle. This addition of the plurality of strainer baffles (202A) not only reduces the risk of contamination of the one or more operating fluids (F) in the gearbox but also helps to decrease emissions.

[0087] By preventing oil mist from reaching the airbox, the life of the airbox is extended, as it is less likely to become clogged or damaged by residues of the one or more operating fluids (F). Overall, the introduction of the plurality of strainer baffles (202A) in the strainer member (202) significantly improves the robustness and efficiency of the separator system (200), ensuring a better performance and longevity of the components of the engine (100).

[0088] The inclined configuration of the strainer member (202) in the cylinder head (101H) facilitate an easy movement of collected one or more operating fluid (F) back into the engine (100).

[0089] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the strainer member (202) may be mounted at a substantial 90-degree angle with the rotating separation member (201) measure from the transverse axis (T-T’). In such configuration, the shape of the plurality of strainer baffles (202A) within the strainer member (202) would need to be changed. The change would create a path that directs the oiltowards the engine despite the vertical orientation of strainer member (202). This might involve designing the baffles to create channels or inclined surfaces that guide the oil downwards, ensuring that it still reaches the engine efficiently.

[0090] The strainer member (202) is centrally attached to the camshaft (101) via the joining portion (209 A), with a slight clearance to allow for movement and to ensure a secure yet flexible connection. This clearance is crucial for accommodating the rotational movement of the camshaft (101) without causing stress or wear on the strainer member (202).

[0091] The joining portion (209A) comprises a thread-like structure on its outer circumference. This thread-like structure engages with the inner surface of the camshaft (101) creating a tighter seal and helping to restrict unseparated blowby gases (G) from escaping into the airbox. The thread like structure makes the flow path (208) leak proof, thereby enhancing the separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G).

[0092] In the separator system (200), the one or more outlets (203) that are mounted on the cylinder head (101H) without any aid of a bolting mean for its installation. Instead, the mounting is achieved through the configuration of the one or more outlets (203) itself. This type of configuration ensures that the one or more outlets (203) are securely held in place by the precise alignment and tight contact between the one or more outlets (203) and mounting provisions of the cylinder head (101H).

[0093] Since no bolts or additional fasteners are required, the installation process is simplified, reducing the time and effort needed for mounting the one or more outlets (203). This also means that servicing of the one or more outlets (203), such as removing it for cleaning or replacement, is straightforward.

[0094] The interference fit of the one or more outlets (203) with the airbox provides a reliable and robust connection, ensuring that the one or more outlets (203) remains securely attached during operation of the engine (100) without the need for bolting mechanisms.

[0095] The configuration of the rotating separation member (201) may be calibrated based on the capacity of the engine (100). Engines with higher capacities generate more blow-by gases (G), which contain a higher volume of the one or moreoperating fluids (F). To efficiently handle this increased volume, a larger rotating separation member (201) is required.

[0096] Conversely, smaller engines with lower blow-by gas volumes can achieve effective separation of the one or more blowby gases (G) from the one or more operating fluids (F) with a smaller rotating separation member (201). This calibration ensures that the rotating separation member (201) operates optimally for any given capacity of the engine (100), maintaining efficient separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G) across different operating conditions.

[0097] By adjusting the configuration of the rotating separation member (201) to the capacity of the engine (100), the separator system (200) ensures reliable performance, preventing excessive oil mist from entering the environment and reducing emissions. This adjusting is critical for achieving the desired balance between separation efficiency of the separator system (200) and performance of the engine (100).

[0098] Further, the separator system (200) can be calibrated for adjusting its separation efficiency of the blowby gases (G) from the one or more operating fluids (F) according to the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the engine (100). As the revolution of the engine (100) increases, the separator system (200) can enhance separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G) to handle the higher volume of blowby gases (G) produced at higher RPMs. This ensures consistent performance across different operating conditions.

[0099] The separator system (200) is sensitive to variations in pressure of the cylinder head (101H), which is influenced by load of the engine (100), temperature, and combustion processes. By adjusting its operation based on these pressure changes, the separator system (200) maintains effective oil separation even as the internal conditions of the engine (100) fluctuate.

[0100] The separator system (200) components, such as the rotating separation member (201), the strainer member (202) are designed to make dynamic adjustments based on real-time data about RPM and pressure of the engine (100). This active control mechanism allows the separator system (200) to respond quicklyto changes, maintaining high efficiency in separation of the blowby gases (G) from the one or more operating fluids (F).

[0101] The separator system (200) utilizes a rotating separator member (201) and centrifugal force to effectively separate the one or more operating fluids (F). This improves the overall efficiency of oil separation, ensuring cleaner air is expelled and more oil is returned to the engine.

[0102] By calibrating the size of the rotating separation member (201) based on the capacity of the engine (100), the separator system (200) can efficiently handle varying volumes of the blowby gases (G), ensuring optimal performance across different sizes and conditions of the engine (100).

[0103] The improved separation of the one or more operating fluids (F) from the blowby gases (G) reduces the amount of vapors of the one or more operating fluids (F) released into the atmosphere. This contributes to lower emissions, making the separator system (200) more environmentally friendly.

[0104] Effective separation of the blowby gases (G) prevents the oil mist from reaching the airbox, reducing the risk of clogging and contamination. This extends the lifespan of the airbox and maintains its performance.

[0105] While the present invention has been shown and described with reference to the foregoing preferred embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes in form, connection, and detail may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention.
