2901164300 Atlas Copco oil separator

The compressed air that leaves the com element is a mixture of air and oil. However, to prevent contamination of production equipment or end products, you need high-quality air. That's why the oil content in the air that leaves the compressor should be reduced to an absolute minimum! The best in class oil-air separation guarantees a typical oil content of 2 ppm with an absolute maximum of 3 ppm.

In the air/oil separator, the oil mist is liquified intro droplets that collect at the bottom. From there, the oil is filtered and sent back to the compressor element.
