What are the dangers of oil products containing water?

Excessive water content in the oil will accelerate the oxidation of the oil and affect the quality of the oil. When the water in the oil evaporates, it will absorb heat, which will reduce the calorific value; if the water in the fuel oil is too high, it will freeze and block. Pipes; lubricating oil, high water content in lubricating grease will destroy the lubricating oil or grease film on the surface of metal parts and cause corrosion.

Water in petroleum products can cause the following hazards:

1. When the water in petroleum products evaporates, it will absorb heat and reduce the calorific value of oil products;

2. Under low temperature conditions, the water in the engine fuel will freeze, block the engine fuel pipe and filter, and prevent the normal fuel supply of the fuel system;

3. Moisture in light petroleum products will deteriorate the combustion process, and can bring salt dissolved in water into the cylinder to produce carbon deposits and increase the wear of the cylinder;

4. When oil products contain moisture, it will accelerate the oxidation of oil products and raw rubber;

5. When the lubricating oil contains water, it can promote the emulsification of the lubricating oil and destroy the lubricating oil film and lubricating performance.

There are two main purposes for testing the moisture content of petroleum products. One is to measure the quantity of oil products, and the actual amount of oil products in the entire container can be calculated by subtracting the moisture after the oil product inspection gauge. The second is to measure the moisture content and determine an effective dehydration method. prevent harm.
