Air Compressor Air Oil Separator DONALDSON P538607

The DONALDSON P538607 is a key componement of your lubricated rotary screw air compressor. The oil is injected with the intake air to seal the compressors screws with the chamber, lubricate bearings and remove heat of compression from the machine, after the air and oil mix is compressed by the screw a separator will filter the mix to reinjected the oil into the compression chamber and send the air downstream.
The element is designated with a maximum velocity rating, line pressure can affect the velocity of the air inside the separator tank therefore it is really important to select the right part for your air compressor and your application. An high quality separator element will be size with some safety factor in order to function properly at pressure slightly under rated capacity.
A high perfomance air oil separator element will last longer, better protect your downstream equipment and reduce your overall cost of ownership.
