Is the oil-gas separator in modular screw air compressor units subject to special equipment regulations? The type that’s mounted in a box and used in the utility vehicle workshop
Screw air compressor units generally fall under the category of special equipment, and the oil-gas separators used in them also require supervision by the authorities responsible for regulating special equipment safety. Although this type of modular screw air compressor unit is housed in a cabinet, it still falls under the category of special equipment; therefore, it is necessary to comply with relevant safety regulations and standards for special equipment to ensure its safe and reliable operation. .
If it falls within the scope of application of TSG 21-2016 for high-class containers, it is considered a high-class pressure container and should be subject to regulation.
It depends on the size of your volume; it is determined based on the catalog whether it qualifies as a pressure vessel, and if so, then it is necessary, otherwise not. The skid-mounted equipment or equipment system is not what you mentioned; this one requires supervision and inspection.
