Abstract
Computational simulation has been conducted to analyze the oil separation performance of gasoline engine oil separators. Two models are compared to select a proper oil separator for the engine. To analyze oil separation characteristics, d50 and separation efficiency have been calculated for each separator. As a result, model A shows excellent d50 and separation efficiency, and model B shows good pressure-drop characteristics. Model B is recommended for the general gasoline engine with low crank-case pressure and low oil consumption. Model A is recommended for the engine with high crank-case pressure and high oil consumption, especially equipped with special exhaust gas treatment system, that is critical to the oil contamination.
