Oil-driven efficient multistage integrated oil-gas separator
Technical Field
The present utility model relates to an oil-gas separator for an internal combustion engine.
Background
In operation of the engine, high pressure gas within the combustion chamber leaks into the crankcase through the piston and cylinder gap, creating blow-by. The blowby gas contains impurities such as combustion waste gas, engine oil and the like, and is not discharged for a long time, so that the pressure of a crankcase is increased, a sealing element is damaged, the engine is leaked, the oxidation and deterioration of the engine oil are accelerated, the abrasion of engine parts is accelerated, the engine oil consumption is increased and the like, and the performance of the engine is influenced. Crankcase ventilation is required to vent blow-by gases, and can be divided into open crankcase ventilation and closed crankcase ventilation, depending on whether the treated crankcase blow-by gases are vented to the atmosphere or are received in an intake duct to participate in combustion.
The adoption of the open type directly discharged into the atmosphere can pollute the environment, and the adoption of the closed type can pollute the parts of an air inlet system such as a supercharger, an intercooler and the like and influence the service life. Both methods require an oil-gas separation device to separate and collect impurities in the mixed gas.
With the increasing strictness of automobile emission regulations, crankcase emissions are required to be tested together with exhaust emissions, the difficulty of passing the emissions is increased, and the emission PN value (the amount of solid particles in the exhaust emissions of vehicles) requirement presents a new challenge for an open crankcase ventilation system.
The scheme provides a high-efficiency integrated oil-gas separation method and device, which are characterized in that oil drives a separation disc to rotate at a high speed to perform primary oil-gas separation (also main oil-gas separation) on crankcase gas, and then secondary oil-gas separation is performed on the gas through an integrated filter element structure, so that high-efficiency separation is realized on crankcase blowby gas, and the PN value is obviously reduced.
