material  or scale is likely, the use of a strainer in the in-
let water line is recommended.

WATER SHUTOFF VALVE – WATER–COOLED
HEAT EXCHANGER
 (Optional Equipment)
(FIGURE 5–1, page 28) – A magnetic solenoid–oper-
ated water shutoff valve rated at 150 psig (10.3 Bars)
water pressure should be mounted in the water outlet
line after the oil cooler.  The valve should be wired into
the compressor control circuit so that the valve opens
to allow water to flow any time the compressor is run-
ning.  When compressor stops under automatic con-
trol, or is shut off manually, the valve should close, stop-
ping water flow through the system.  See Wiring
Diagrams in Section 4.

OIL RESERVOIR – The oil reservoir–separator com-
bines multiple functions into one vessel. The lower half
is the oil reservoir, providing oil storage capacity for the
system and the top portion, a primary oil separation
means. The reservoir also provides limited air storage
for control and gauge actuation.

COMPRESSOR (GD ELIMINATOR) OIL SEPARA-
TOR
 located in a separate housing, consists of a re-
newable cartridge–type separator element and pro-
vides the final removal of oil from the air stream
(FIGURE 5–11).

Oil impinging on the inside of the separator element
drains directly back into the oil reservoir by gravity. Oil
collected outside the element is returned through tub-
ing to the compressor cylinder.

Oil carryover through the service lines  may be caused
by a faulty oil separator, faulty minimum  pressure
valve,  over–filling  of the oil reservoir, oil that foams, oil
return line malfunction or water condensate in the oil.
If oil carryover occurs, inspect the separator only after
it is determined that the oil level is not too high, the oil

FIGURE 5–11  –  OIL SEPARATOR

is not foaming excessively, the oil return line from the
separator housing to the compressor cylinder is not
clogged or pinched off, the check valve in the oil return
line is functioning properly, and there is not water or an
oil/water emulsion in the oil.

Oil carryover malfunctions of the oil separator are usu-
ally due to using elements too long, heavy dirt or var-
nish deposits caused by inadequate air filter service,
use of improper oil or using oil too long for existing
conditions.  A ruptured or collapsed separator element
is usually due to heavy dirt or varnish buildup in the fil-
tering material.  Excessive tilt angle of the unit will also
hamper separation and cause oil carryover.
