Atlas Copco Oil Separators

The primary function of air oil separator 2906009800 is to remove oil droplets that are entrained in the compressed air. During the compression process, oil is used to lubricate the compressor and cool the compressed air. However, this oil can mix with the air, leading to contamination if not removed effectively. The oil separator ensures that the compressed air is free from oil, thereby protecting downstream equipment. By removing oil from the air stream, the oil separator helps maintain the efficiency of the air compressor system. This reduces the risk of performance degradation over time.

Reducing oil emissions can help meet environmental regulations and standards, as well as reduce the risk of contamination in processes that depend on compressed air. Clean air reduces wear on moving parts within pneumatic systems, leading to better system performance and efficiency.
