Oil / gas separator for refrigeration circuit
ESK Schultze Kältekomponenten
The ESK standard oil separators type OS effectively remove oil from the discharge gas in the strainer elements and return the oil through a high precision float valve to the crankcase or oil control system. The efficiency of oil recovery is dependent on the reduction of gas velocity in the separator itself. Providing the oil separator is correctly applied, this will be about 95 % to 98 %.
Beside conventional separators ESK is also offering high performance oil separators type BOS with a separation ratio of more than 99%. The BOS oil separators are equipped with coalescence elements made of glass fiber micro for the efficient separation of aerosol particles out of the discharge flow.
The use of ESK oil separators protects the compressor from defects cause by lack from lubrication and improves the heat transfer in the evaporator.
Oil separators should be installed whenever the following applications are considered:
• Evap. temp. below <-10 °C
• Blast freezers
• Capacity control
• Two stage plants
• Parallel systems
• Cascade plant
• Flooded systems
• Booster
