Factory Outlet Ingersoll Rand Air Compressor Parts Filter 23545841 Replacement Air Oil Separator Filter

1.What are the different types of air oil separators ?

There are two main types of air oil separators: cartridge and spin-on. The cartridge type separator uses a replaceable cartridge to filter the oil mist from the compressed air. The spin-on type separator has a threaded end that allows it to be replaced when it becomes clogged.

2.How does an oil separator work in screw compressor ?

The oil containing condensate from a compressor flows under pressure into the separator. It moves through a first-stage filter, which is usually a pre-filter. A pressure relief vent typically helps reduce the pressure and avoid turbulence in the separator tank. This allows the gravitational separation of free oils.

3.What is the purpose of the air oil separator ?

An Air/Oil separator removes the lubricating oil from the compressed air output before re-introducing it back into the compressor. This ensures the longevity of the compressor's parts, as well as the cleanliness of their air on the output of a compressor.

4.What is the function of oil separator in air compressor?

The Oil Separator ensures your compressors oil is recycled back into the compressor to keep it lubricated, whilst helping to ensure the compressed air exiting the compressor is free of oil.

5.What does an oil separator do in a screw compressor?

An Oil Separator does exactly what its name tells you, it's a filter within an air compressor system that separates oil from the compressed air to protect systems components and your equipment at the end of the line.

6.What happens when an air oil separator fails?

Decreased Engine Performance. A failing air oil separator can lead to an oil-flooded intake system, which can, in turn, result in a reduction in engine performance. You may notice a sluggish response or reduced power, particularly during acceleration.
