Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A ventilation system for an engine is disclosed. The ventilation system may include a first conduit configured to connect an exhaust system of the engine with a crankcase of the engine, a second conduit configured to connect to a vent of the crankcase, and a valve disposed within the second conduit. Additionally, the ventilation system may include a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a concentration of a gaseous constituent within the crankcase of the engine, and a controller in communication with the valve and the sensor, the controller being configured to selectively move the valve based on the signal.
