Managing Blow-by in Modern Engines: A Comprehensive Review of Crankcase Ventilation Technologies
Abstract: Blow-by in internal combustion (IC) engines occurs when high-pressure combustion gases escape past the piston rings into the crankcase. These gases typically carry oil aerosols, unburned hydrocarbons, and fine particulate matter, which, if not effectively managed, can disrupt lubrication, accelerate component wear, and contribute to harmful emissions. Effective crankcase ventilation is therefore essential not only for ensuring engine durability but also for meeting increasingly stringent emission regulations. This paper examines …
