Abstract
A centrifugal separator for separating oil from a gas stream, particularly for venting the crankcase of an internal combustion engine, having a housing () in which the flow guiding means are arranged. The flow guiding means are connected to a drive shaft (). A gas inlet () opens into the housing (), and a gas outlet () and an oil outlet () lead out of the housing (). An easily produced and functionally reliable arrangement is obtained if the housing () is non-rotatably mounted and an impeller () with blades () that produce a centrifugal flow is disposed in the housing () such that it is rotatable about the longitudinal axis () of the drive shaft ().
