MAHLE - Oil Mist Separator System

Crankcase ventilation systems reliably remove the gases from the crankcase that are contaminated with oil mist. The oil mist separator integrated into the ventilation separates gaseous and liquid components. The separated oil is recirculated into the oil circuit and the residual air is recirculated into the intake system. The oil mist separator must ensure a high level of oil separation for all engine-specific requirements that lead to varying volume flow rates and fluctuating amounts of oil. Active oil mist separation achieves this at a consistently high level, regardless of the engine operating conditions. This solution also enables active management of gases and testing of the ventilation system to ensure its integrity and proper operation.
