Replacement and Installation Replace after shutdown and pressure relief, ensuring that both ends are securely connected without any bends or stress; recheck the sealing and vibration after installation. If on-site fabrication is required, it is recommended to use hoses and joints of the same pressure and weather resistance grade as those from our original factory, and conduct a gas tightness test.

Quick selection steps: Determine whether to use the "gas side" or the "oil side". Provide key parameters: model / serial number, flow / pipe diameter, pressure rating, temperature, target cleanliness / emission limit. If there is an old part number / nameplate, directly provide for precise matching.

Common Types and Functions Shaft Sleeve: Protects the shaft journal, provides a wear-resistant surface, and facilitates maintenance and replacement; often used in conjunction with oil seals. Oil Seal / Oil Cap: Prevents the leakage of lubricating oil along the shaft, the material is usually nitrile rubber (NBR) or fluororubber (FKM), with a double lip design that can scrape off oil and prevent dust. Shaft Sleeve / Shaft Seal Kit: Includes a shaft sleeve + oil seal + related installation parts, providing a one-step solution with good compatibility.

Common Misconceptions and Risks Replacing only the oil but not the filter: Impurities accumulate, accelerating wear and clogging. Overdue use: Increased pressure difference leads to higher energy consumption and an increased risk of filter damage. Installation too tightly: May cause the base to deform or make future disassembly difficult.

Key points for replacement and maintenance: When replacing, the oil separator filter element should be replaced simultaneously. Also, check if the sealing gasket is aged. If necessary, replace it together to ensure a proper seal. Before installation, clean the oil stains and impurities on the interface surface. Tighten according to the specified torque to avoid over-tightening which may cause the shell to deform or under-tightening which may lead to leakage. Regularly (usually in accordance with the filter element replacement cycle, approximately 2000-4000 hours) check if there are any cracks, corrosion or deformation in the shell. Replace it promptly if any abnormalities are found.

Strict model matching: Different series of Atlas Copco air compressors (such as fixed type, mobile type, screw type, etc.) may require different specifications of coolant. Please select the corresponding original factory coolant based on the specific model of the equipment (such as GA75, XAS186, etc.). For example, some models use long-lasting coolant, with a replacement cycle of up to 8,000 - 10,000 hours. It is not allowed to mix this coolant with other brands or types of coolant at will.
