Oil separator - HENRY

The conventional oil separator is designed to separate oil from compressed gas and return it to the compressor, either directly or indirectly. This action helps maintain the oil level inside the compressor and increases system efficiency by preventing excessive oil circulation.

Common uses

The oil separator is used in a wide range of applications, including multiple compressors and remote cooling units. The product is designed for use in oil management systems.

How it works

The compressed refrigerant, which contains oil, enters the separator and passes through an inlet filter.

Upon entering the separator, the gas velocity decreases, causing a change in the movement of the oil particles and allowing the small particles to collide and form heavier particles, which stick to the inlet filter and the walls of the separator.

The gas passes through the outlet filter, where the final separation takes place and the gas with most of the oil removed exits the separator.

Features:

• Oil separation efficiency up to 80%.
• Maximum working pressure 31 bar
• Operating temperature range 10°C to +130°C
• Compatible with HCFC, HFC, R290, and A2L refrigerants

Advantages:

• Negligible loss in system efficiency.
• Easier installation.
• Efficient removal of oil from the coolant flow. Allows only the correct amount of oil to return to the crankcase.
• Improves oil recovery quality.
