ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a module of units for an internal combustion engine, comprising, as first unit, a device for separating out contaminants from the lubricating oil in the internal combustion engine, whereby the device has a filter insert, a free-jet centrifuge, driven by means of the flowing lubricating oil, at least one supply channel for lubricating oil to be purified, an outlet channel, for lubricating oil which has flowed through the filter insert and a return channel for oil which has flowed through the centrifuge, whereby the centrifuge is arranged above the filter insert in a common housing. The novel module of units is characterized in that the module comprises a further unit of the internal combustion engine, the further unit, comprising a housing which is detachably connected to the housing of the device and that both housings form the return channel between housing regions, which contact each other in a sealing manner.
