[0002] The oil-gas separator is installed next to the engine crankcase to separate the oil from the oil-gas mixture discharged from the engine crankcase, and return the separated oil to the oil pan for reuse, reducing the oil discharged from the crankcase breathing port into the air, thereby reducing the oil consumption and air pollution caused. The increase in the power level of automotive engines has led to a significant increase in the oil-gas mixture flow rate in the crankcase and the concentration of oil mist in the mixture. The comprehensive performance of the oil-gas separator, such as separation efficiency, pressure loss and durability, directly affects the oil-gas separation efficiency and the lubrication and air pressure status in the crankcase. There are many types of oil-gas separator designs and their performance varies. How to accurately test the comprehensive performance of these oil-gas separators is crucial.

[0044] The present invention also provides a testing method (hereinafter referred to as the method) based on the engine oil-gas separator comprehensive performance testing device, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:

[0045] Step 1, under different environments, according to the load spectrum of the whole machine durability test of the target engine under the environment, the durability assessment spectrum of the oil-gas separator 15 to be tested is compiled: the total assessment period of the oil-gas separator 15 to be tested is the same as the total assessment period of the whole machine durability test of the target engine, and according to the changes and working time of the engine in the idle speed, maximum torque point speed, 80% rated speed, 85% rated speed, and maximum no-load speed range in a single assessment period, the spectrum block curve of the mixed gas flow rate, oil temperature, and oil mist state (matching of injection pressure and mixed gas flow rate) of the oil-gas separator 15 to be tested under different working conditions of the engine is determined and input into the digital control platform 18;

[0046] Step 2: Assemble the test device, install the oil-gas separator 15 to be tested, and weigh the mass of the absolute filter 17 and the oil collector 21 respectively:

[0047] The oil-gas separator 15 to be tested is clamped and installed by a fixture, assembled according to the structure and connection method of the test device, and checked whether each pipeline connection is normal and whether each instrument functions normally;

[0048] Weigh the masses of the absolute filter 17 and the oil collector 21 respectively, and record them in the computer of the digital control platform 18;

[0049] Step 3: Before the durability test begins, it is necessary to determine the change in the flow rate of the mixed gas in the engine crankcase and the state of the mixed gas under each test condition in the engine durability test spectrum. By observing the photos taken by the high-speed camera 6, the oil-gas mixture in the test device is manually adjusted to the optimal state under each test condition and the parameters corresponding to the flow limiting valve 3 and the pressure regulating nozzle 4 in the digital control platform 18 are determined. After determining the total test cycle, a single test cycle is cycled, including automatically adjusting the flow limiting valve 3 and the pressure regulating nozzle 4 according to the set test spectrum through the digital control platform 18 to achieve oil-gas matching in each state;

[0050] Step 4, start the durability test, turn on the high-pressure blower 2, adjust the input voltage of the high-pressure blower 2 through the motor speed regulator 1 to meet the maximum intake flow requirement of the test, and adjust the opening of the flow limiting valve 3 in real time through the digital control platform 18 according to the spectrum block curve of the mixed gas flow rate changing with time in the durability test spectrum of the oil-gas separator 15 to meet the intake flow requirement of the test;

[0051] The heater 10 is automatically controlled by the digital control platform 18 to make the oil temperature in the oil tank 11 reach the test condition. The temperature gauge 12, the pressure difference gauge 16 and the vortex flowmeter 14 are monitored in real time by the digital control platform 18. The values ​​thereof do not fluctuate greatly within the specified time (the amplitude of the value change does not exceed ±2% of the displayed value). The oil pump 9 and the air pump 7 are started. The digital control platform 18 adjusts the pressure of the oil sprayed into the oil-gas mixing stabilizing tank 5 by adjusting the air pump 7 and the pressure regulating nozzle 4 according to the spectrum block curve of the oil injection pressure change with time in the durability test spectrum of the oil-gas separator 15 to be tested. The oil is atomized by the atomizing nozzle 20. According to the image feedback of the high-speed camera 6, the atomization concentration and the spraying angle of the atomizing nozzle 20 are adjusted. The atomized oil is mixed with the compressed air to form an oil-gas mixture.

[0052] Step 5, the oil-gas mixture enters the oil-gas separator 15 to be tested through the gas outlet 503 for oil-gas separation, the vortex flowmeter 14 monitors the flow of the oil-gas mixture entering the oil-gas separator 15 to be tested in real time, and adjusts the inflow to the rated flow through the digital control platform 18; after completing the rated test time, the measurement data of the differential pressure meter 16 is recorded in the digital control platform 18 in real time, and observes whether there is oil bubbling or oil leakage at the gas outlet of the oil-gas separator to be tested during the test time, the change of pressure loss, whether the return oil flow is stable, and the change of separation efficiency of the oil-gas separator to be tested under different test cycles, so as to judge whether the durability of the oil-gas separator to be tested meets the requirements;

[0053] Step 6: After the test is completed, turn off each device;

[0054] The pressure data of the air inlet and the air outlet of the oil-gas separator 15 to be tested measured by the differential pressure gauge 16 are calculated, and the pressure loss value obtained is the pressure loss of the oil-gas separator;

[0055] Weigh the mass of the oil collector 21. The mass increase of the oil collector 21 is the mass m of the oil separated by the oil-gas separator 15 to be measured. 1 Weigh the mass of the absolute filter 17 to obtain the mass increase m of the absolute filter 17 2 ; The separation efficiency of the oil-gas separator is E = m 1 / m 1 +m 2 ;

[0056] The various parameters of the oil-gas separator 15 to be tested are recorded in the digital control platform 18 .

[0057] Preferably, during the test, the oil return valve 19 is normally closed; however, during the test, the liquid level sensor 13 monitors the changes in the liquid level in the oil tank 11 in real time. When the amount of oil in the oil tank 11 is less than 20% of the total oil storage, the liquid level sensor 13 reaches the warning line and issues an oil shortage warning. At this time, the oil tank needs to be refilled through the oil inlet of the oil tank 11.

[0058] Preferably, after the test is completed, when the digital control platform 18 receives a signal from the liquid level sensor 13 that the liquid level of the oil tank 11 is lower than the set value or reaches the set time, the digital control platform 18 controls the return oil valve 19 to open, and returns the residual oil in the oil-gas mixing pressure stabilizing tank 5 to the oil tank 11; when the liquid level of the oil tank 11 is higher than the set value or reaches the set time, the digital control platform 18 controls the return oil valve 19 to close.
