Air Oil Separator: Essential for Screw Air Compressors
An Air Oil Separator is a critical component in an oil-injected screw air compressor. It separates oil from compressed air, helping maintain clean compressed air while returning recovered oil to the compressor's oil circuit.
How It Works
During compression, oil mixes with air for cooling, lubrication and sealing. The air-oil mixture passes through the separator element, where fine oil droplets are captured and coalesced. The separated oil is returned to the compressor, while cleaner compressed air moves downstream.
Benefits
Reduces oil carryover
Helps maintain compressed-air quality
Reduces oil consumption
Protects downstream equipment
Supports efficient compressor operation
When Should It Be Replaced?
Excessive oil carryover, increased pressure drop, rising oil consumption or oil contamination in the air line can indicate that the separator needs inspection or replacement.
MK Compressor supplies quality compressor components designed for reliable performance and dependable operation. For the right Air Oil Separator, select the element according to your compressor model and specifications.
