Abstract

Systems and methods for engine coalescer exhaust extraction are provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises an engine including a crankcase fluidly coupled to a coalescer, a muffler adapted to receive combustion exhaust gases from the engine, and a coalescer exhaust passage fluidly coupling the coalescer to the muffler. The coalescer exhaust passage includes an inlet arranged upstream of the muffler adapted to flow a motive fluid to the coalescer exhaust passage to increase a flow speed of coalescer exhaust through the coalescer exhaust passage.
