Oil Separator, 3-1/8 ODS, 3/8 FL Return - 79.375mm - conventional - Henry

The Henry S-1904 Oil Separator is a conventional, welded-top inlet/top outlet oil separator designed to efficiently remove oil from refrigerant gas in various HVAC and refrigeration systems. Here are the key technical details:

Main Features:

• Connection Sizes:
  • Inlet/Outlet: 3-1/8 inch ODS (Outside Diameter Solder)
  • Oil Return: 3/8 inch flare fitting.
• Construction:
  • Made from durable carbon steel for the shell, end caps, and connections.
  • Includes a replaceable float assembly made from stainless steel, brass, and copper.
• Oil Separation Efficiency: Typically around 80%, ensuring minimal oil circulation within the system.

Applications:

• Suitable for low-pressure oil management systems.
• Compatible with HCFC and HFC refrigerants and their associated oils.
• Ideal for use with scroll and reciprocating compressors, but not recommended for screw or rotary vane compressors.

Operating Specifications:

• Maximum Working Pressure: 450 PSI (31 Bar).
• Operating Temperature Range: 15°F to 300°F (-10°C to +149°C)

Functionality:

• Oil Separation Process:
  • The oil-laden refrigerant gas enters the separator and passes through an inlet screen, reducing the gas velocity.
  • This reduction causes oil particles to coalesce and adhere to the separator walls.
  • The separated oil collects at the bottom and is returned to the compressor crankcase or oil reservoir via a float-operated needle valve

Installation Notes:

• Ensure the separator is installed according to the flow direction indicated.
• Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing the float assembly as needed

This oil separator is a reliable component for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your refrigeration or HVAC system.
