Abstract

This patent describes a blow-by gas heating system for a water-cooled internal combustion engine having an engine block, an intake manifold, a crankcase, and an overhead valve cover, and an air inlet port on the valve cover and a crankcase blow-by gas outlet port on the crankcase, with those ports at spaced locations, comprising, conduit means separate from the engine block connecting the blow-by gas outlet port to the intake manifold and including valve means for controlling the blow-by gas flow therethrough, conduit means separate from the engine block connecting the air inlet port to a source of fresh air, coolant conducting means separate from the engine block connected to the engine water-cooling system for circulating engine heated coolant through the coolant conducting means, the coolant conducting means positioned in heat exchange relationship with at least a portion of one of the conduit means for heating the portion of the conduit means and the gas flowing therethrough, and the coolant conducting means including a coolant jacket portion in heat exchange relationship with the valve means for heating the valve and blow-by gas flowing therethrough.

Apparatus for treating the crankcase vapor emissions of internal combustion engines

Patent DeBruler, G

Apparatus for treating crankcase vapor emissions of internal combustion engines, particularly automotive engines, interposed between the engine crankcase, ventilation port and the air-fuel intake manifold. The apparatus, including a separator-collector housing with header-cover mounted thereon, is adapted to receive the crankcase emissions (including engine blow-by gases) through the header-cover and an elongated inlet conduit depending downwardly therefrom and to direct such emissions into a lower sludge collection chamber of the housing. A filter assembly is carried by the inlet conduit and spans the separator-collector housing intermediate the bottom of the housing and the header-cover thereby defining in the lower portionmore »« less
Crankcase ventilating system and method of removing oil mist from gas in the system

Patent Ohtaka, S ; Miyano, H ; Nuiya, Y ; ...

A crankcase ventilating system is described in an internal combustion engine having a crankcase and cylinder block, a cylinder head, a cylinder head cover and an intake manifold. The crankcase ventilating system comprises: a first chamber for passing a gas from the crankcase therethrough; a valve for controlling the amount of the gas flowing from the first chamber therethrough; a second chamber defined in the cylinder head cover for passing therethrough the gas flowing from the first chamber via the valve and for allowing the gas to flow from the second chamber into the intake manifold. The second chamber hasmore »« less
Fuel and water vaporizer for internal combustion engines

Patent Harvey, R

In combination with a gasoline-powered internal combustion engine, and fuel supply, an apparatus is described for injecting a fuel mixture of vaporized fuel, fuel, steam and air into the engine carburetor which consists of: heated means for vaporizing fuel comprising: a closed chamber having a fuel inlet, a vapor outlet, a perforated septum lying horizontally across the lower half of the chamber; a pipe passing through the chamber through which hot fluid derived from the engine cooling system is circulated; and means associated with the inlet for spraying fuel against the septum; means for generating steam in proportion to themore »« less
Oil separator for internal combustion engine

Patent Aoki, K ; Okumura, S

An oil separator is described for an internal combustion engine, which comprises: a casing of oil separator formed integrally with the cylinder-head cover of an engine, a porous filter means made of foam metal arranged vertically in the casing, to absorb oil constituents contained in blow-by gas flowing into the casing from the upper chamber of the cylinder and to pass gas constituents therethrough, an oil reservoir formed at the bottom portion of the casing, to reserve oil separated by porous filter means, a check valve arranged in the oil reservoir to release the oil from the oil reservoir tomore »« less
Fuel vaporization method and apparatus

Patent Earle, J L

A fuel vaporizing apparatus is described for use with an internal combustion engine having an intake manifold and a down draft carburetor which supplies mixtures of air and volatile liquid fuel. The apparatus consists of: passageway means disposed within a heat exchanger for guiding carburetor air-fuel mixtures in a flow direction substantially opposite the flow of the carburetor, first conduit means for communicating air-fuel mixtures from the carburetor to a lower inlet means in the heat exchange, second conduit means for communicating vaporized air-fuel mixtures from an upper outlet means in the heat exchanger to the intake manifold, the passagewaymore »« less
