WATER SHUTOFF VALVE - WATER-COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER
(Optional Equipment) - A magnetic
solenoid-operated water shutoff valve rated at 150 psig (10.3 bar) 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 running. When compressor stops under
automatic control, or is shut off manually, the valve should close, stopping water flow through the system.
See Wiring Diagrams in Section 4.
OIL RESERVOIR
- The oil reservoir-separator combines 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.

– OIL SEPARATOR
COMPRESSOR (GD ELIMINATOR
) OIL SEPARATOR
located in a separate housing, consists of a
renewable cartridge-type separator element and provides the final removal of oil from the air stream (Figure
5-1).
Oil impinging on the outside of the separator element drains directly back into the oil reservoir by gravity.
Oil collected inside the element is returned through tubing to the compression chamber.
Oil carryover
through the process air lines may be caused by a faulty oil separator, faulty minimum
pressure valve, over-filled 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 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.
