Air Oil Separator Elements

Air oil separator is the most crucial part of compressor filtration system. High quality separators have long service life. Compressed air from compressor air end carries countless oil droplets. Big oil droplets are separated as soon as they enter the tank, whilst small ones with a diameter less than 1 micron will be sustained in the air. As small oil droplets along with air current pass through separators, they collide and coalesce to form larger droplets. When these oil droplets are too large to be sustained in air, they will fall down along filtration media fibers to the bottom of separator and be delivered back to compressor air end by a scavenge tube. This separation process minimizes oil consumption in compressors and oil content in compressed air network.
