1 Answers
An oil-water separator does not require oil to be added; it is the oil mist separator that needs oil. The primary function of an oil-water separator is to remove water and impurities from diesel fuel, thereby reducing injector failures and ensuring the normal operation of the engine. Some models also include additional features, such as automatic drainage and heating functions. Below is a classification of oil-water separators: 1. By mechanism: Mainly divided into water-removing oil separators and oil-removing water separators. 2. By application: Primarily categorized into industrial-grade oil-water separators, commercial oil-water separators, and household oil-water separators. 3. By separation principle: Mainly includes membrane filtration oil-water separators, oil-water separators using oleophilic materials, passive oil-water separators that rely on gravity for separation, and demulsifying oil-water separators based on pharmacological effects.
