Air/oil Separator Filter

Air/Oil Separator Filter, also known as oil-gas separator filter, is a key component in the air compressor system. Its main function is to separate and remove oil from compressed air to ensure the cleanliness of compressed air and the normal operation of the system.

1. Function and Importance

Oil separation: The oil-gas separator filter element can effectively separate the oil in the compressed air through its special structure and materials, preventing the oil from entering the subsequent air treatment system or the end user.

Protect the system: A high-quality oil-gas separator filter element can not only ensure the stable operation of the compressor, but also extend the service life of the entire air compressor system, and reduce the failure and maintenance costs caused by oil pollution.

Improve air quality: The compressed air treated by the oil-gas separator filter element is purer and can meet more application scenarios with high air quality requirements.

2. Working principle

The working principle of the oil-gas separator filter element is mainly based on its special filter material and structural design. When the compressed air passes through the filter element, the oil will be trapped and accumulated on the filter layer of the filter element, while the pure air continues to flow through the pores of the filter element. As the oil continues to accumulate, the filtration efficiency of the filter element will gradually decrease, so the filter element needs to be replaced regularly to ensure the normal operation of the system.

3. Types and Materials

The types and materials of oil-gas separator filter elements are varied, and the common ones are glass fiber filter elements, paper filter elements, metal filter meshes, etc. Different types of filter elements have different filtration accuracy and service life. Users can choose the appropriate filter element type according to actual needs. Among them, glass fiber filter elements are widely used due to their good filtration performance and long service life.

Deep Filter Oil Separators

The core of this deep filter separator is a unique design that uses three layers of different grades of borosilicate glass, far more than the normal number, carefully wrapped on a solid support tube. This innovative structure not only significantly improves the performance of the device, but also enables it to maintain an extremely low initial pressure drop and extremely low residual oil content while achieving enhanced airflow capacity comparable to advanced pleated air oil separators.

Field test results show that this deep filter separator has shown particularly excellent oil separation effects when dealing with high "challenge rate" application environments. Under these extreme conditions, the concentration of oil aerosols carried in the compressed air is far higher than normal, but the element can still effectively remove oil from the airflow, effectively ensuring the purity of the output air. This outstanding performance not only verifies the advanced nature of its design, but also further demonstrates its great potential in improving air quality and ensuring stable equipment operation.

Spin-On Type Oil Separators

Spin-On Oil Separators consist of a deep bed type oil separator element, placed inside of a pressure resistant body, or “can” like that of traditional oil filters.

Extremely easy to replace in comparison to standard oil separators (which are enclosed in a pressurized tank), this elements design is somewhat limited in application due to restrictions of air flow capacity.
