Functional principle of air/oil separator spin-ons
An air/oil separator spin-on is an air/oil separator element housed in a spin-on filter. Oil-flooded screw compressors inject more than 5 kg of oil per cubic meter of air to cool, lubricate, and seal the two rotors.
This oil is then removed from the compressed air by means of an air/oil separator element. In most cases, air/oil separator elements are installed in an upright tank with tangential flow. Servicing these installations is difficult and time-consuming. Air/oil separator elements allow much faster servicing – this means lower servicing costs and faster availability for your compressor. Air/oil separator spin-ons typically produce a flow resistance of 250 mbar at standard loads and, like their built-in counterparts, achieve a residual oil content of 3 mg/m³ or 3 ppm.
Their service life depends largely on the quality of the air filter and is typically 1,000 – 4,000 hours. Air/oil separator spin-ons are screwed onto the pressure vessel vertically by hand and cover air-intake flow rates from 1 m³/min to 5.5 m³/min with a compressor overpressure of 7 bar (0.7 MPa). No special tools are required for their maintenance and replacement.
