Crankcase breather
Problem statement
Waukesha Gas Engines, a major player in the natural gas internal combustion engine industry, is customizing their crankcase breather system to enhance engine performance and efficiency. This adaptation addresses the need for integration with a new engine geometry and performance goals, as the existing system is unsuitable for modifications. Venting crankcase gases directly into the atmosphere is not an option due to stringent emission standards [5]. Therefore, a closed-system that filters and recirculates crankcase gases is the optimal solution [1]. This project aims to design and implement a tailored breather system, maximizing engine efficiency and setting a precedent for future configurations. It reflects Waukesha Gas Engines’ commitment to continuous improvement and technological advancement in the natural gas internal combustion engine industry.
