Before delving into types of separators, let us address the prominent question ‘What are separators?’. Compressed air systems such as screw air compressor and vacuum pumps are built from different components, one of those components is the separator which is found inside the compressor and it ensures high performance, safe operation of the machine by filtering oil impurities.
Function of the Air Oil separator:
For pure air free from impurities to be processed, the oil air separator completes the task of separating the compressed air from oil. These air compressor spare parts use oil as a lubricate, seal and cooling. During the process, residual oil contained during compression needs to be separated because oil easily damage pneumatic tools which are powered by wholesale screw air compressor and as an advantage oil separators also reduce oil consumption, resulting in lower operation costs.
Types of Air Oil separator:
Air oil separator consist of two main types which are cartridge and spin-on. To filter the oil from the compressed air, the cartridge uses a replaceable cartridge and the spin-on type uses a combination of centrifugal force and the coalescence effect.
Benefits of Air Oil separator:
Separated oil from the compressed air is returned back to the oil sump/reservoir where it can be used as a coolant again.
Maintained lubrication due to minimized oil consumption.
High performance and long durability of the air compressor and oil injected screw vacuum pump.
No damage to pneumatic tools which use compressed air.
To conclude separators especially air oil separator, play a crucial role in both air compressors and vacuum pump. They ensure clean air free from oil contaminant delivery and continuous proper function of the machine.
