What is Crankcase Breather?

Crankcase breather is also known as crankcase oil separator or crankcase ventilation. As its name, the function of the oil separator filter is to clean the oil mist from the engine crankcase.

We all know when the diesel engine works, it causes pollution, not only to the environment but also to human bodies, this tells how important a crankcase breather is.

What does an oil separator do?

An oil separator is a device that separates oil from the air that enters the engine. Oil is necessary for lubricating the moving parts of the engine, but it can also cause problems if it mixes with the air.

Oil can contaminate the air intake system, reduce the efficiency of the combustion process, increase the emissions of harmful gases, and damage the catalytic converter. An oil separator prevents these issues by filtering out the oil from the air and returning it to the oil pan.

What is an oil separator gasket?

An oil separator gasket is a seal that fits between the oil separator and the engine block. It prevents oil leaks and ensures a tight connection between the two components. An oil separator cover gasket is usually made of rubber or metal and can withstand high temperatures and pressures.

Over time, however, an oil separator gasket can wear out, crack, or break due to exposure to heat, vibration, and corrosion. When this happens, it can cause oil leaks, poor engine performance, and increased emissions.
