Air Compressor Oil Separator Filter

1.What does an air compressor filter do?

Air compressor filters, also called air line filters, are used in condensed air lines as a way to stop liquids and solid contaminants from entering air compressors. They stop these contaminants from entering the equipment and causing damage. A cubic foot of compressed air may harbor millions of dirt particles, in addition to significant amounts of oil and water. Depending on the application, the compressed air might even contain lead, mercury or other heavy metals.

Without air compressor filters removing such contaminants, the operation of critical system components, such as cylinders and valves, will be compromised. Air filtration is an essential element of proper compressed air preparation and can also prevent seals from swelling and experiencing premature wear. In addition to reducing downtime, clean compressed air results in lower energy costs.

2.Air compressor oil replacement method:
(1) Built-in models:1. Stop the air compressor, close the air pressure outlet, open the drain valve, and confirm that the system has no pressure.2. Disassemble the pipeline above the oil and gas barrel, and at the same time remove the pipeline from the outlet of the pressure maintenance valve to the cooler.
3. Remove the oil return pipe.4. Remove the fixing bolts of the cover on the oil and gas barrel, and remove the upper cover of the barrel.5. Remove the oil and gas separator and replace it with a new one.6. Install in the reverse order of disassembly.
(2) External models:
Stop the air compressor, close the air pressure outlet, open the drain valve, and after confirming that the system is pressure-free, remove the old oil and gas separator and replace it with a new one.
