Abstract
A cylindrical cyclone separator connected between an air vent, a suction conduit and an oil sump all of an internal combustion engine. A duct extends spirally within the cyclone separator. Oil and aerosols are separated by an increasing centrifugal force as the oil/aerosol mixtures passes through the duct toward the center of the separator and the separator exhaust ports.
