Air drawn through the airfilter (AF) into the compressor
element is compressed. At the element outlet, compressed
air and oil pass into the air receiver/oil separator (AR/OS).
The check valve prevents blow-back of compressed air when the
compressor is stopped. In the air receiver/oil separator AR//OS),
most of the oil is removed from the air/oil mixture: the remaining
oil is removed by the separator element.
The oil collects in the receiver and on the bottom of the separator
element.
The air leaves the receiver via a flow nozzle (FN) which prevents
the receiver pressure from dropping below the minimum working
pressure, even when the air outlet valves are open. This ensures
adequate oil injection and prevents oil consumption.
A temperature switch (TS) and a working pressure gauge (PG) are
comprised in the system.
A blow-down valve (BDV) is fitted in the unloader assembly to
automatically depressurize the air receiver (AR) when the
compressor is stopped.
