Reasons for the poor oil mist separation performance in air compressors
Thread Content
Help: The oil mist separation performance of the air compressor unit is poor, and oil droplets are present in the exhaust smoke pipes. What could be the reason?
The poor oil-gas separation performance of air compressors is related to the minimum pressure valve to some extent. If the minimum pressure valve is unable to maintain the pressure, the pressure in the air compressor system will drop too low, which may result in poor separation and oil leakage.
1. Excessive exhaust volume； The separator should be inspected and cleaned.
First, check the pressure valve, then check the oil mist separator. If that doesn’t work, construct a high-position vent condenser or separator using steel pipes at the exhaust location, in order to recover the condensed oil
Which valve in the system does the pressure valve refer to?
Which valve does the minimum pressure valve refer to? Oil-gas separation is installed on the pipelines of gas stations (tanks).
