Function
The oil mist eliminator is mounted on the exhaust port of rotary vane pumps. It filters oil
mist particles out of the supported stream of gas, thereby reducing the operating fluid
mist discharge.
The filter elements have been installed in a corrosion-resistant aluminium casing and
consist of a glass polyester fleece cylindrical filter. A built-in pressure relief valve opens
if the filter element becomes too dirty so that the maximum operating pressure never
goes above 1500 hPa (absolute). The collected operating fluid can be observed through
a sight-glass and discharged with a drain screw.
To return the filtered operating fluid from the OME into the pump without interrupting the
pump operation, an operating fluid return (optional) can be used.

If the operating fluid accumulated in the OME reaches a specified level, the operating
fluid is channeled via differential pressure back into the rotary vane pump. Condensate
concentrates underneath the oilpan and has to be drained when necessary so as not to
impair the operation of the pump
The use of the operating fluid return increases the operational safety of the pump and
reduces the maintenance requirements.
