The principle of oil-water separator
First of all, what we want to talk about is the mechanism of oil-water separator. Simply put, it separates water from oil, or separates oil from water. Oil-water separators are divided into industrial-grade oil-water separators, commercial oil-water separators, and household oil-water separators according to their uses. Oil-water separators are mainly used in petrochemical, fuel-fired locomotives, sewage treatment, etc. What we are going to talk about today is the oil-water separator used on fuel-fired locomotives, also known as vehicle oil-water separator.
Oil-water separator components
The vehicle oil-water separator is a type of fuel filter. For diesel engines, its main function is to remove moisture from diesel, so that the diesel can meet the diesel requirements of high-pressure common rail engines. Its working principle is mainly based on the density difference between water and fuel, using the principle of gravity sedimentation to remove impurities and moisture. In addition, it also has separation elements such as diffusion cones and filters inside to enhance the effect of oil-water separation.
Oil-water separator structure
The working principle of the oil-water separator is to use the density difference between water and fuel, and then rely on the action of the earth’s gravitational field to cause relative movement. The oil rises and the water falls, thereby achieving the purpose of oil-water separation.
Other functions of oil-water separator
In addition, some current oil-water separators also have other functions, such as automatic drainage function, heating function, etc.
