Abstract:
A high pressure charge air feed arrangement for an internal combustion engine is provided. The arrangement includes an intake having a high pressure output, a rocker cover having an intake runner defining a high pressure charge flow path, and a gas and oil separator having a flow accelerator with input and output sides. The high pressure output of the intake is attached to one end of the path and the accelerator is attached to the other end. The path is connected between the input and output sides of the accelerator. The separator includes upper and lower plenums divided by a wall having an oil and gas diffuser. The input side is connected to the lower plenum and the output side is connected to a crankcase oil return line. The flow accelerator may be any type of fluid accelerator, including, but not limited to, a venturi pump and a jet pump.
