This invention relates to the field of
lubrication systems for auxiliary equipment in power plants, and discloses an online oil-water separation device suitable for rotating auxiliary equipment in peak-shaving units. The device includes a circulating oil circuit, a
moisture detection module, an oil-water separation module, and a control module. The circulating oil circuit is connected to the main
oil tank of the rotating auxiliary equipment to form an oil
return channel. The
moisture detection module is located in the circulating oil circuit to detect the
moisture content of the oil in real time. The oil-water separation module is connected to the circulating oil circuit through a separation control valve. The control module controls the separation control valve based on the moisture detection results: when the moisture content is within the acceptable range, the valve is closed, and the oil returns to the
oil tank through the circulating oil circuit, forming a real-time circulation detection loop; when the moisture content exceeds the acceptable range, the valve is opened, and the oil is fed into the oil-water separation module, which consists of a
centrifugal separator and a vacuum heating separator connected in series, for
dehydration treatment. The qualified oil is then returned to the
oil tank. This invention achieves online monitoring and automatic purification of oil, with a
rapid response, significantly improving the
operational reliability of auxiliary equipment under frequent start-up and shutdown conditions of peak-shaving units.
