How often is it better to change the oil and gas separator?

The oil and gas separator is generally recommended to be changed every 3000 to 4000 hours of operation. If the use environment is dusty and humid, this time will be shortened again, and it may have to be changed in about 2000 hours.

How to judge whether to change, mainly look at three signals. First, see if the oil in the compressed air at the outlet has obviously changed. Second, look at the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the separator. If it is obviously too large and exceeds the normal range, it means that the interior has been blocked badly and must be replaced. Third, see if the equipment has an alarm and if the fuel consumption has suddenly increased. At ordinary times, every 500 to 1000 hours of operation, it is best to disassemble and check to see if there is a large area of sludge on the surface of the filter element and if the seal is aging and cracking.

Water lubricated air compressor has a clear advantage in this matter. Because it uses water instead of oil to lubricate and seal, the discharged gas itself is very clean and will not bring a large amount of oil mist into the separator, so the burden of the separator is much lighter than that of the traditional oil lubrication machine, and the actual life is often longer. However, the water-lubricated air compressor will produce water-containing gas when it works. The separator should not only divide the oil but also deal with the water, so it is more important to pay attention to the regular discharge of water. If there is too much water, it will affect the separation effect and make the separator break down in advance.

In general, the normal working condition is 3000 to 4000 hours, and the environmental difference is shortened to about 2000 hours. At the same time, keep an eye on the two indicators of pressure difference and oil content. Change when you arrive. Don't wait for the alarm to start work.
