Air-Oil Separator M24x1.5 – Microglass/Polyester

Compressed air-oil separation LB962/2 is a genuine Mann separator element. One uses it to clean the compressed air leaving the compressor. It takes out any oil residue carried over.

During compression oil is injected to lubricate, seal and absorb the heat of compression. What then comes out of the compressor element is a mixture of compressed air and oil. The oil separator separates the oil from the air as the oil needs to stay inside the compressor to keep it lubricated while the compressed air needs to exist the compressor, free of oil.

How an Air Oil separator works

Centrifugal force separates most of the oil. The air-oil mixture enters the separator vessel at an angle. Most of the oil then pushes outside and drops down into the oil vessel. Usually, there is a splash plate installed. This prevents the air-oil mixture from hitting the separator filter directly. This way separates 85% of the oil. The remaining 15% exists the compressed air as small droplets and mist. As this oily compressed air flows through the separator filter, the small droplets combine and form large drops. They then fall and collect at the bottom of the separator filter. The scavenge line then sucks up and removes the oil.
