A hydrogen augmented diesel crankcase ventilation system uses hydrogen to
allow crankcase fumes, for example blow-by, to be burned by the engine.
The system preferably includes a hydrogen generation system as a hydrogen
source connected to an engine air intake by a first hose, a second hose
connecting the crankcase to the air intake, and a third hose connecting a
fresh air source to the crankcase. An orifice or a vacuum regulator in
cooperation with the second hose may be included to regulate crankcase
vacuum. A filter may reside inline with the second hose to capture solids
or liquids which enter the second hose from the crankcase. A back flow
preventor may be included in cooperation with the third hose to prevent a
back flow of crankcase fumes through the third hose.
