How to Determine if a Car's Oil-Gas Separator is Faulty?
1 Answers
If a car's engine exhibits symptoms such as shaking after a cold start, burning engine oil, or triggering the engine fault light due to an overly rich air-fuel mixture, it can be determined that the car's oil-gas separator is faulty. It is advisable to promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection to avoid compromising driving safety. Relevant information about the oil-gas separator is as follows: 1. Introduction: An oil-gas separator is a device that separates crude oil produced from oil wells and associated natural gas. The oil-gas separator is located between the submersible centrifugal pump and the protector, separating free gas from the well fluid. The liquid is sent to the submersible centrifugal pump, while the gas is released into the annular space between the tubing and casing. 2. Function: The oil-gas separator is one of the crucial components of the entire submersible electric pump system. Its primary role is to serve as the inlet for oil and gas entering the multi-stage centrifugal pump. Additionally, before the gas-mixed liquid enters the multi-stage centrifugal pump, the separator removes free gas from the well fluid, thereby reducing the impact of gas on the operational characteristics of the submersible electric pump. This prevents cavitation and gas locking in the centrifugal pump, ensuring the multi-stage centrifugal pump operates normally.
