Henry S-5182, Oil Separator, Helical Welded - Side Inlet / Top Outlet CXN, S-5182

The Henry S-5182 Oil Separator is a helical welded unit designed to enhance the efficiency of refrigeration and air conditioning systems by effectively separating oil from the discharge gas. Here are the key technical details:

Technical Description

Model: Henry S-5182
Type: Helical Welded Oil Separator
Connections: Side Inlet / Top Outlet
Inlet Connection: 1/2" ODS
Outlet Connection: 3/8" FL Return

Features and Functionality

1. Helical Design: The helical oil separator employs a centrifugal flow path to achieve approximately 99% efficiency in oil separation with minimal pressure drop. Independent testing has shown that only about 0.006% of oil by volume is discharged into the system

2. Efficiency: This separator effectively removes oil from the discharge gas and returns it to the compressor, either directly or through an oil management system. This helps maintain the compressor crankcase oil level and enhances system efficiency by preventing excessive oil circulation

3. Applications: Suitable for use with scroll and reciprocating compressors, the S-5182 is intended for low-pressure oil management systems. It is compatible with HCFC and HFC refrigerants and their associated oils

4. Construction: The unit is constructed with durable materials, including nickel-plated steel pipe connectors, ensuring longevity and reliability in various industrial applications

5. Installation: Designed for easy installation, the side inlet and top outlet configuration allows for flexible integration into existing systems

Applications

• Multi-compressor refrigeration racks
• Remote condensing units
• Air conditioning systems

The Henry S-5182 Oil Separator is a robust and efficient solution for maintaining optimal oil levels in refrigeration and air conditioning systems, ensuring reliable and efficient operation.
