Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve the gas–liquid separation performance of an oil tank and to establish a design method to enable gas–liquid separation only in an oil tank. Since it is difficult for conventional oil tanks to completely remove bubbles remaining in the hydraulic oil, it is essential to introduce a technology to actively separate and remove bubbles from the oil. Therefore, the bubble removal performance was improved even under the condition of added lateral acceleration by appropriately generating a swirl flow. First, an acrylic model of an oil tank was used to verify the accuracy by performing numerical analysis using various turbulence models. Then, the parameters of the bubble remover, such as the size of the oil tank, were studied. In addition, the bubble removal performance under the condition of added lateral acceleration was examined.
