Patent attributes
An oil separator includes a cylindrical housing that accommodates a rotor and is provided with a gas discharge portion (first exhaust portion), the oil separator being configured to introduce target gas from a rotation center side of the rotor to condense oil mist and emit condensed oil from an outer peripheral edge of the rotor and further being configured to discharge from the housing through the gas discharge portion the blow-by gas (target gas) after having the oil mist separated. The oil separator includes a dome portion (sectioning member) that covers from an outside of the housing the gas discharge portion and sections a closed space around the gas discharge portion and an outlet pipe (second exhaust portion) that is provided to the dome portion and that discharges the blow-by gas from the closed space that is sectioned by the dome portion.
