Abstract
An oil/air separator includes a tank having a cylindrical wall and opposed end walls. The first channel wall has a bend portion therein and a cap portion normal thereto which interconnects the first channel wall with the cylindrical wall. The first channel wall further includes a first end and a second end, each of which is spaced from the cylindrical wall. A second channel wall is also positioned within the tank between and substantially axially aligned with the cylindrical and first channel walls. The second channel wall is spaced from each of the cylindrical and first channel walls and also has a bend portion therein. The second channel wall has a cap and a base portion which are spaced apart by and normal to the second channel wall. The second channel wall further includes a first end engaged with the cylindrical wall and a second end spaced from the cylindrical wall. The cylindrical wall has an inlet for admitting an oil/air mixture into the tank. The inlet is opposite the second channel wall and is between the cap and base portions thereof.
