3.8 INTERMEDIATE SEPARATORS
Intermediate separators are mounted on the compressor between the 2nd and 3rd stage and between the 3rd
and 4th stages. These separators are designed to remove oil and water which accumulates due to the cooling of
the medium after the compression process. Separation is achieved by means of centrifugal action.
