Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1965045A2] The method involves maintaining a temperature of a gravity collector (210) higher than the temperature i.e. zero degree Celsius, given by the heat exchange between the gravity collector and heat transfer fluid of an engine, where the heat transfer fluid is removed at an output of a heat exchanger (230) with the oil of a lubrication system of the engine. The heat exchange is obtained by circulation of the fluid on a wall of the gravity collector. An independent claim is also included for a device for reheating crankcase emissions in an engine of a motor vehicle.
