Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Ölabscheider (1) für die Reinigung von Ölnebel enthaltendem Kurbelgehäuseentlüftungsgas einer Brennkraftmaschine (4), mit einem Gehäuse (10) mit einem Einlaß (13) für das Kurbelgehäuseentlüftungsgas, einem Auslaß (14) für das gereinigte Gas und einem Ölauslaß (16), wobei in dem Gehäuse (10) mindestens ein drehantreibbares, rotierendes Ölabscheideelement angeordnet ist und wobei eine innere Oberfläche eines das Ölabscheideelement radial außen umgebenden Wandbereichs des Gehäuses (10) als Ölniederschlags- und Ölsammelfläche (15) ausgebildet und mit dem Ölauslaß (16) verbunden ist.
Der neue Ölabscheider (1) ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das Ölabscheideelement ein Bauteil in Form eines mit Schaufeln (20) bestückten, zugleich als Rotor und Verdichter wirkenden Laufrades (2) ist, wobei durch das rotierende Laufrad (2) das zuströmende Kurbelgehäuseentlüftungsgas in eine rotierende, mitgeführte Ölnebelpartikel mit einer Zentrifugalkraft beaufschlagenden Bewegung versetzbar ist und zugleich eine Förderwirkung auf das Kurbelgehäuseentlüftungsgas in einer Richtung vom Einlaß (13) zum Gasauslaß (14) des Ölabscheiders (1) ausübbar ist.
