Abstract
Disclosed is an oil-water separator for offshore wind farms. The separator is arranged between an oil drain pipe and an accident oil tank, and has a cylindrical structure, and includes an oil storage compartment, a water storage compartment and a partition plate between them. The disclosure can ensure that the accident oil tank is empty under normal operating conditions so that a platform weight is reduced; and an insulation and an electric heating treatments are only performed at the oil-water separator to save insulation project quantity and energy consumption for heating; and a two-stage oil-water separation is achieved in the oil-water separator to avoid mixing oil droplets into water discharged from a water outlet.
