The question should really be "How does positive crankcase ventilation work?" You can't ventilate a crank, it's either solid (roller bearing crank) or the only spaces are oilways.
Positive crankcase ventilation, PCV, is used to prevent a build-up of combustion gases in the crankcase. The piston rings prevent most combustion gases getting down the sides of the pistons and into the crankcase but a little does sneak past. This is called 'blow by' and increases as the engine wears. If there was no ventilation, pressure would build in the crankcase and cause oil leaks and other trouble. In early engines the crankcase was just vented to atmoshere via an oil trap so combustion gas fumes and some oil vapour escaped into the air. Later, to prevent this, the crankcase was vented instead to a low pressure part of the inlet system. The engine then consumes its own fumes. Originally this was just a flow restricting hole to the inle manifold but complication has crept in over the years. We have seen one-way valves, 'gulp valves' and similar all intended to hold the crankcase pressure just below atmospheric and get the engine to consume it own fumes without upsetting fuelling accuracy.
On diesel engines and supercharged engines a pressure lower than atmospheric can be created by putting a venturi in the the inlet. On a conventional gasoline engine the inlet is always below atmospheric pressure.

How does a positive crankcase ventilation system work?
it keep a litle preshure in the crank case to prevent oxygen to get in there (shake oil and osygen and you get wip) and bleed the vapor to the intake.
Does a 2001 s10 2.2 liter have a PCV valve?
YES, All engine must have Positive crank case ventilation. That is what PCV stands for.
What are the two types of positive crankcase ventilation system?
open crankcase ventilation and closed crankcase ventilation.
How do you change the crank case ventilation valve on a BMW 740il?
replaced crank case valve location at valve cover
What does PCV stand for?
positive crankcase ventilation
Where is the PCV valve in a 2006 Highlander Hybrid?
PCV valves (Positive Crank Ventilation) are usually located on the valve cover of most motors, a few are located on the backside of the motor where the intake manifold bolts to the head.
What is a dump pipe?
In pre-PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) vehicles, that was a term for the crankcase ventilation pipe.
What are the signs that positive pressure ventilation has been effective and may be discontinued?
Positive pressure ventilation is the use of life sustaining systems to help individuals that are showing respiratory distress. The signs that positive pressure ventilation has been successful are breathing over the ventilator and blood gas labs that are in normal ranges.
Where is the positive crankcase ventilation valve on a 2005 Chrysler 300?
To find the positive crankcase ventilation valve, look on the right bank of the engine. The valve is located beneath the intake manifold.
How positive pressure ventilation effect fi02?
positive pressue ventilation is usually provided by a mechanical ventilator. A blend of oxygen and air coming out of the ventilator. The FiO2 is set on the ventilator. The person gets the FiO2 set on the ventilator.The manual positive pressure ventilation is by resuscitating with a self inflating bag usually provided with oxygen. FiO2 is fractional inspired oxygen and does not change with positive pressure ventilation or negative pressure ventilation. Manual bagging FiO2 may be changing according to supply of oxygen, inhalation (speed and volume) and frequency of bagging.
What kind of ventilation systems do Panasonic fans work with?
The kind of ventilation systems that Panasonic fans work with is HVAC. HVAC is heating, ventilation, and air conditioning; it is the technology of comfort.
Which finding is an indication for using positive-pressure ventilation?
Apnea or gasping
