ABSTRACT:
In a method for venting a crankcase of an internal combustion engine, in which, in a first operating range under part-load, the crankcase is vented via a first venting line, which opens into an intake line of the internal combustion engine downstream of a throttle valve, and in a second operating range under full load engine operation, the crankcase is vented via a second venting line, which opens into the intake line upstream of the throttle valve, the first venting line includes a control valve and a central unit is provided which operates the control valve so as to control the flow of vent gases through the first venting line over a range including a complete flow interruption under engine overrun condition to prevent venting gases from reaching the engine exhaust system when the internal combustion engine is operating in an overrun mode.
