Each engine must have its own vent pipe into open air. The crankcase ventilation pipes may
not be combined with other ventilation pipes, e.g. vent pipes from the system oil tank.
The diameter of the pipe shall be large enough to avoid excessive back pressure. Other possible
equipment in the piping must also be designed and dimensioned to avoid excessive flow
resistance.
A condensate trap must be fitted on the vent pipe near the engine.
The connection between engine and pipe is to be flexible.

The size of the ventilation pipe (D2) out
from the condensate trap should be
bigger than the ventilation pipe (D) com-
ing from the engine.
For more information about ventilation
pipe (D) size, see the external lubricating
oil system drawing.
The max. back-pressure must also be
considered when selecting the ventilation
pipe size.
