An Oil Separation Core is a critical component in compressed air and refrigeration systems, designed to efficiently separate oil from compressed air or gas streams. It ensures clean, oil-free air output while maximizing oil recovery for reuse, improving system efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
✔ High Oil Separation Efficiency – Removes up to 99.9% of oil aerosols.
✔ Low Pressure Drop – Maintains system performance with minimal energy loss.
✔ Long Service Life – Durable materials (e.g., borosilicate glass fiber, stainless steel).
✔ Environmentally Friendly – Reduces oil consumption and waste.
✔ Easy Replacement – Modular design for quick maintenance.
Type | Material | Applications |
---|---|---|
Fiberglass Coalescing | Borosilicate glass | Compressed air systems, industrial gas |
Stainless Steel Mesh | 304/316 stainless steel | High-pressure oil-injected compressors |
Polyester Composite | Synthetic fibers | Refrigeration, low-pressure systems |
Activated Carbon | Carbon-infused media | Oil vapor removal (ultra-clean air) |
Inlet Flow: Oil-laden air enters the separation core.
Coalescing Filtration: Fine oil droplets merge into larger drops.
Gravity Separation: Oil drains back to the compressor sump.
Clean Air Outlet: Oil-free air exits the system.
Compressed Air Systems (Oil-injected screw compressors)
Refrigeration Units (Separating oil from refrigerant)
CNG/LPG Processing (Gas purification)
Industrial Pneumatics (Oil-free tool air supply)
Flow Rate: Match core size to compressor CFM requirements.
Operating Pressure: Standard (≤16 bar) vs. high-pressure (≥25 bar) cores.
Oil Type: Mineral, synthetic, or PAG oil compatibility.
Efficiency Class: ISO 8573-1 certified (e.g., Class 0 oil-free air).
Warning Signs for Replacement:
Increased oil carryover
Rising pressure differential (>0.5 bar)
Visible damage to filter media
Replacement Interval: Typically 4,000–8,000 operating hours (varies by system).
