Air oil separator is a key component of the air compressor, high quality oil separator can not only ensure efficient operation of the compressor, the compressor can also improve air quality. The oil separator is separated oil from the compressed air, so the compressed air cleaner, and the oil is separated, then through return pipe, the oil circulating in the compressor.

Air Oil Separator Overview

As the air and lubricant mixture is discharged from the air end of the rotary screw, it is directed into the separator tank. This mixture is directed through baffles that are positioned to cause the lubricant to have an inertial action from continuous change of direction.

The lubricant, having more weight than air, begins to form droplets that fall to the bottom of the separator tank or oil sump. The air, still containing a mist of lubricant, enters a separator element.

As the air and lubricant mist enters the first stage of the separator element, the mist of lubricant coalesces on the fibers and forms droplets, which fall to the sump of the separator.

The air and lubricant mist then flows through the second stage of the separator element where more lubricant droplets are formed and fall inside the element. Then, the lubricant is directed back to the compressor inlet by use of a scavenge or lubricant return line from the bottom of the separator element.

Finally, the separated compressed air leaves the separator tank through a terminal check valve.
