Advantages
The efficiency of the oil separator on the discharge line of a compressor in a refrigeration system is confirmed by experience ; the oil separator intercepts the oil mixed with compressed gas, and returns it to the oil sump of the compressor thus assuring an efficient lubrication of its moving parts. Further more –the oil separator reduces system noise with an open or semi-hermetic compressor- as it neutralizes the noise of valves and pistons. Finally, the use of an oil separator leads to,
- A longer life of the compressor
- A better performance of the whole system with consequent energy saving
- A quieter operation by reducing valve noise
Construction
The body is manufactured from steel tube (adequate thickness)
Assembly
The oil separator has to be mounted in a strictly vertical position
