Patent ID: 6925994

Claim:
A regulated engine crankcase gas filter device, comprising: a reactor vessel, the reactor vessel being an elongated body having a first end and a second end, the elongated body defining a separator-expansion chamber having a diameter; an inlet port disposed at the first end of the elongated body, the inlet port being adapted for attachment to a crankcase PCV hose; an outlet port disposed at the second end of the elongated body, the outlet port being adapted for attachment to a hose to an intake manifold, the inlet and outlet ports each defining an inside diameter smaller than the diameter of the separator-expansion chamber; a mesh contained in the separator-expansion chamber; a vortex nozzle disposed between the separation-expansion chamber and the outlet port, the vortex nozzle defining an atomization chamber; and metering means disposed between the vortex nozzle and the outlet port for metering cleansed crankcase gas through the outlet port; whereby gases from the crankcase expand and are filtered in the separator-expansion chamber, atomized, and metered to the intake manifold.
