Oil removal using rotary blowers
Thread Content
Due to the use of oil seals, rotary blowers produce air containing oil during operation; generally, after running for a while, the air flow meter installed at the outlet of the blower will turn black – it gets dirty from the oil. The typical pressure range for rotary blowers is 0.1–0.5 kgf/cm2. I would like to ask: what methods are there for separating oil and gas from rotary blowers? Thank you!
A spiral oil catcher can be installed; I’m not sure what the volume of gas is, so the model can be selected based on that volume. However, it will increase some pressure loss.
Spiral oil catcher – does it work on the same principle of spiral separation as that in compressed air oil removers? The pressure of rotary blowers is very low; one of the models has an air volume of 1 Nm3/min.
Isn’t there an oil and gas separator at the front end?
