Wow, here we are again. Another Thursday has arrived. Let us do everything we can to make it a good one. The arrival of the day after Humpday means that another week is coming to an end, and it is time for Throwback on Thursday. This week, I think we will look back at July 2019. That's why we studied why the oil separator is so important when we published the article; if you can, grab it: look at Moroso's air/oil separator.

During this installation, we showed this misunderstood work from Moroso Performance Products. We purge the air first, because the air/oil separator is sometimes erroneously called the catch tank. Regular capture can simply capture the oil and keep it out of intake. However, the trap tank is usually open to the atmosphere and causes problems such as oily engine compartment or oily smell when the air conditioner is turned on. The bigger problem is that they do not meet EPA standards and usually bypass the PCV (Crankcase Positive Ventilation) system.

This is a good example of what might be hidden in the engine's intake manifold. The Moroso air/oil separator will keep the oil away from the air intake, making the engine longer and more efficient.

The Moroso air/oil separator not only captures the oil, but also prevents harmful crankcase steam and moisture from returning to the intake manifold, thereby reducing the durability and performance of the engine. The air/oil separator also allows vehicles to maintain 100% emission standards in all 50 states, so you don't have to worry that the EPA will blame you for any illegal actions.

In the original article, Moroso’s Marketing and New Product Manager Thor Schroeder explained, “A catch tank with a proper baffle will contain residual oil and moisture, but the excess crankcase steam is usually discharged through the catch tank’s breather. Into the atmosphere. If pipes are connected in series in the PCV system, these emitted crankcase steam will exclude emission compliance and affect the function of the PCV.

This picture shows how much oil has returned through our intake manifold in a few weeks. The Moroso air/oil separator does an excellent job of preventing oil from entering the air intake of our 5.3-liter engine.

"The Moroso air/oil separator has an aluminum body with heavy-duty brass inlet and outlet fittings. There is a central partition baffle that separates the "in" and "out" ports, the mesh medium between the ports and the partition baffle, and The mesh medium below the partition wall is separated from the perforated baffle and mesh medium below the partition wall. The oil droplets separated from the air in the medium reach the bottom of the main body of the oil and gas separator. The collected oil is every 1,000 miles traveled. Left and right will be discharged by the car owner."

There is more interesting and seemingly surprising information in the original article. To learn more, you really need to check it out. If you can, check it out: Learn about Moroso's air/oil separators. Please check back often, because we will definitely bring you more great technologies that you can use.
