In screw air compressors, the oil-gas separator is a key component, and its main function is to effectively separate the oil and gas in the compressed air. During the process of compressing air, a large amount of lubricating oil is sprayed into the screw air compressor. The main function of these lubricating oils is to lubricate and cool the screw of the compressor. However, the compressed air will carry oil droplets and oil mist, which need to be separated to ensure the quality of the compressed air and reduce the consumption of lubricating oil.
The working principle of the oil-gas separator mainly includes two stages. In the primary separation stage, the oil-gas mixture collides with the built-in accessories of the oil-gas separator. Under the action of its own gravity, the larger oil droplets will be separated and fall to the bottom of the oil-gas separator. In the secondary separation stage, the smaller oil droplets pass through the filter element made of special materials, first agglomerate into oil droplets with larger diameters, and then are separated. This method can effectively separate oil droplets with a diameter of less than 1 micron. In order to effectively remove oil droplets and oil mist in compressed air, ensure that the output compressed air is clean and oil-free. This is especially important for some application scenarios with high requirements for air quality (such as food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, etc.). In addition, clean compressed air can protect downstream equipment and pipelines, avoiding equipment failures and maintenance problems caused by oil contamination.
Oil-gas separators have become an indispensable key component in screw air compressors. By effectively separating oil droplets and oil mist in compressed air, oil-gas separators not only improve the quality of compressed air, but also reduce the consumption of lubricating oil, protect downstream equipment, and reduce operating costs. With the continuous advancement of technology, the design and performance of oil-gas separators are also constantly improving, providing more reliable and efficient solutions for various industrial applications.
