Where is the oil-water separator located?

Oil-water separators are mostly located in the engine compartment. Relevant information about oil-water separators is as follows: 1. Introduction: An oil-water separator is a device, divided into two types: catering oil-water separators and industrial oil-water separators. Catering oil-water separators are used in the catering industry to treat sewage; due to environmental protection requirements, sewage generated by ship machinery discharged into rivers, lakes, and seas must be treated, requiring the use of industrial oil-water separators. 2. Working Principle: When compressed air enters the oil-water separator, it undergoes drastic changes in flow direction and speed. Relying on inertia, oil droplets and water droplets with a higher density than compressed air are separated. Common types include impact oil-water separators and annular rotary oil-water separators. When compressed air enters the separator shell, the airflow first hits a baffle and is deflected downward, then rises upward again, creating an annular rotation. This causes water droplets and oil droplets to separate from the air under centrifugal and inertial forces, settling at the bottom of the shell.
