Abstract

Oil catch cans are devices used in some internal combustion engines to prevent oil droplets from entering into the exhaust manifold of the engine. The main purpose of this paper is to study the design of a typical oil catch can used in regular vehicles and analyze the effects caused by varying the length of its inner tube and the relative position of the outlet: either radial or tangential to the can body.
