Gardner Denver Oil-Gas Separator QX104009 for Air Compressors

An Oil-Gas Separator is a critical filtration device designed to efficiently remove oil aerosols and liquid droplets from compressed air, gas streams, or refrigeration systems. It ensures clean, oil-free output while recovering lubricant for reuse, protecting downstream equipment and meeting environmental standards.

• Ultra-High Efficiency - Removes 99.9% of oil particles (ISO 8573-1 Class 0 compliant)
• Low Pressure Drop - Optimized design minimizes energy loss (<0.2 bar)
• Corrosion-Resistant - Stainless steel or composite construction
• Auto-Drain Option - Zero-loss electric or float drains available
• Modular Design - Easy cartridge replacement

• Flow Capacity: 5-10,000 m³/h
• Operating Pressure: Up to 16 bar (standard) / 40 bar (HP models)
• Oil Removal Rate: ≤0.01 mg/m³ (Class 0)
• Materials: 304/316 SS, borosilicate glass fiber, PTFE
• Connections: NPT, flanged (ANSI/DIN), or SAE ports

• Compressed Air Systems (Oil-injected screw compressors)
• CNG/LPG Stations (Gas purification)
• Refrigeration (Oil-refrigerant separation)
• Industrial Pneumatics (Oil-free tool air)
• HVAC (Chiller oil recovery)

1. Flow Rate: Match separator CFM to compressor output
2. Oil Type: Mineral, synthetic, or PAG compatibility
3. Efficiency Needs: Class 1 (≤1 mg/m³) vs. Class 0 (≤0.01 mg/m³)
4. Environment: ATEX-certified models for explosive areas

Service Indicators:

• Pressure drop >0.5 bar
• Visible oil carryover
• Exceeding 8,000 operating hours

Best Practices:

• Replace cartridges annually (or per pressure differential)
• Pair with pre-filters to extend separator life
• Use auto-drains to prevent oil re-entrainment
