Oil separator in refrigeration system | Oil separator working principle in Refrigeration system

 Oil separator for separating the oil flow from the gas in the refrigeration system.oil separator is made of stainless steel or steel.Fitted in between compressor and condenser.

What is a oil separator

    The Oil separator is a part of vapour compression refrigeration system or mechanical compression refrigeration system.The oil separator to separate oil from the compressed vapour refrigerant or gas and return back it to the crank case of the compressor is called a oil separator. 


Construction of the oil separator

   It construction of the oil separator like a cylindrical shell and suitable inlet and outlet are provided. The return back pipe of the bottom are provide to return the oil in crank case of the compressor and the controlled by a float valve.the shell is made of stainless steel or steel. 


How does a oil separator work 

   The working principle, of The oil separator the compressor to compressed vapour refrigerant at higher pressure and higher temperature with small quantity of oil in the Entering to the inlet of the oil separator, The refrigerant vapour being lighter flows from the outlet of the oil separator to the condenser and The oil being heavier to downward due to gravity an oil level in the bottom. The float valve is provided the bottom to certain oil level is reached in the oil separator, a float open a needle valve and allows the oil return into the crank case of compressor. 


Fitted or installed of the oil separator

It is installed or fitted in the between compressor and condenser. The compressor outlet pipe are connected to the oil separator inlet pipe and the oil separator outlet pipe are connected to the condenser inlet pipe of the vapour compression refrigeration system or mechanical compression refrigeration system. 



oil separator machine

   The oil separator is used in machine to separate oil from the compressed vapour refrigerant and return back it to the crank case of the compressor. Oil separator in refrigeration cycle is installed between compressor and condenser. 


oil separator in air compressor

  Oil separator is provide for in an air compressor same as a working principle of the oil separator in refrigeration system.return back it to the crank case of the compressor.  


  Oil separator is not required in refrigeration system if Oil is Shortage of the compressor. The oil is Shortage of compressor then heavy noise are started to the inside of the compressor. heavy heated up the compressor then maybe blast or damage inside it .So it is Importance of Oil Separator is fitted in refrigeration system.

 application of the oil separator 

 application of the oil separator is used to the commercial or industrial large refrigerating machine, large refrigeration system, and large air conditioning system or plants.
