– PRESSURE DEW POINT OF COMPRESSED AIR
OIL SEPARATION RESERVOIR
/
COALESCING ELEMENT
- This device serves multiple functions in
the compressor package:
Air/oil centrifugal separation
- The bulk of the liquid oil is separated, by centrifugal effects, away
from the compressed air and aerosol streams, which is then gravity-collected at the bottom of the
rerservoir.
Oil degassing and holding
- The reservoir has sufficient holding capacity to degas the oil mass
before it is drained off on its way to cooling, filtering and re-injection. It also serves as a storage
volume for the oil mass migrating from higher elevations (e.g., oil cooler, compressor casings, and
piping).
Air/oil final separation
- The aerosols and compressed air streams are led to the upper portion of
the reservoir, where the coalescing element resides. The fine droplets of oil (aerosol) are trapped in
the element media, coalesced, then gravity-drained, through a low-point connection and associated
tubing (oil return line) into a lower pressure region of the compressor.
