Oil Separator Product Introduction
1. Overview
An Oil Separator is a critical filtration component designed to efficiently separate oil from compressed air, refrigerant, or gas streams in industrial and HVAC systems. It ensures oil-free air/gas output while recovering lubricant for reuse, protecting downstream equipment and improving system efficiency.
2. Key Features & Benefits
✔ Ultra-High Efficiency – Removes 99.9% of oil aerosols (meets ISO 8573-1 Class 0 standards).
✔ Low Pressure Drop – Optimized design minimizes energy consumption.
✔ Durable Construction – Stainless steel, fiberglass, or composite materials for long service life.
✔ Environmentally Friendly – Reduces oil waste and contamination risks.
✔ Easy Maintenance – Replaceable cartridge or centrifugal designs.
3. Types of Oil Separators
| Type |
Working Principle |
Applications |
| Coalescing Separator |
Fibers trap oil droplets → gravity drainage |
Compressed air systems, CNG processing |
| Centrifugal Separator |
Rotational force separates oil |
High-flow industrial compressors |
| Baffle/Impact Separator |
Oil droplets collide & drain |
Refrigeration, low-cost applications |
| Adsorption Separator |
Activated carbon absorbs oil vapors |
Ultra-clean air (pharma, electronics) |
4. Working Principle
-
Inlet: Oil-mixed air/gas enters the separator.
-
Separation:
-
Drainage: Separated oil returns to the reservoir.
-
Outlet: Oil-free air/gas exits the system.
5. Applications
-
Compressed Air Systems (Screw/piston compressors)
-
Refrigeration & HVAC (Oil-refrigerant separation)
-
CNG/LPG Stations (Gas purification)
-
Industrial Pneumatics (Oil-free tool air supply)
6. Selection Guide
-
Flow Capacity (CFM/Nm³/min): Match to compressor output.
-
Operating Pressure (e.g., 8–16 bar standard, 25+ bar high-pressure).
-
Oil Type Compatibility (Mineral, synthetic, PAG).
-
Efficiency Class (ISO 8573-1 Class 0-3).
7. Maintenance & Replacement
Replacement Indicators:
-
Oil carryover in air/gas stream
-
Pressure drop increase (>0.3–0.5 bar)
-
Exceeding 4,000–8,000 service hours
Best Practices:
-
Use OEM-compatible cores for optimal performance.
-
Pair with pre-filters to extend separator life.
