ABSTRACT:
The apparatus includes a swirl vanes device for reducing the velocity of exhaust fumes fed into an enclosed container with the accompanying direction and volume changes enhancing the separation of the exhaust into gas, liquid, and solid components. Solids and liquids collect in the container and gas passes out through a demister filter. With engines having a pressurized crankcase exhaust and an air box outlet, an eductor assembly employing a spring-biased check valve is used to control the entrance of crankcase exhaust into an inlet chamber having a low pressure created by the volume expansion of inlet air box exhaust. A liquid overflow system has a floatable ball valve to remove liquid from the container under conditions of high liquid levels. An inlet and outlet manifold houses a spool valve for the selective control and isolation of the inlet and outlet openings of the container so that the container may be pressurized to remove the liquid collected therein. For some "V"-Block engines a pair of oppositively disposed air box and pressurized crankcase inlets are used each having an eductor assembly for control of crankcase exhaust flow into the container and into a partitioned inlet chamber to provide effective isolation therebetween.
