The water separator with code K 16022 plays a crucial role in the crankcase ventilation system of the ZV40/48 engine. It removes moisture and condensation from the crankcase air before it is expelled or recirculated, thus preventing water vapor from contaminating engine oil or corroding internal parts. Engineered for high efficiency and minimal pressure drop, this component ensures cleaner crankcase emissions and enhances engine longevity. Its function is particularly important in marine environments or high-humidity conditions where condensation buildup is a persistent challenge.
