Claim Text:
1. A separating device comprising: a centrifugal separator for separating contaminants in the form of liquid and/or solid particles from crankcase gas which is produced during operation of an internal combustion engine, the centrifugal separator comprising: a centrifugal rotor with a plurality of separation discs for separating the particles from the crankcase gas, the centrifugal rotor having a central passage; a rotor housing delimiting a separation space in which the centrifugal rotor is arranged to rotate about a rotational axis; a gas inlet arranged to conduct crankcase gas, which is to be cleaned, directly to the passage of the centrifugal rotor; a gas outlet in communication with a part of the separation space surrounding the centrifugal rotor, the gas outlet conducting cleaned crankcase gas out of the separation space; and a particle outlet in communication with the part of the separation space surrounding the centrifugal rotor, the particle outlet draining the separated particles out of the separation space; and a collector for the separated particles, wherein the particle outlet is connected to said collector, and wherein the collector is configured to communicate with the gas inlet via a connection to provide a reduced pressure in the collector, whereby the separated particles are drawn out of the particle outlet and into the collector during operation of the centrifugal separator.
