Henry S-5394, Oil Separator, Helical w/ Reservoir (Gardian ®) , 2-1/8 ODS

The Henry S-5394 Oil Separator is a helical oil separator with an integrated reservoir, designed for use in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Here are the key technical details:

• Model: S-5394
• Type: Helical Oil Separator with Reservoir (Gardian®)
• Connection Size: 2-1/8 inch ODS (Outside Diameter Solder)
• Construction: Welded steel shell with ODS refrigerant connections and SAE flare oil connections
• Refrigerant Compatibility: Suitable for HCFC and HFC refrigerants, as well as other industrial fluids that are non-corrosive to steel, copper, and brass
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to +130°C
• Operating Pressure: Up to 31 barg
• Certifications: UL, CE, ASME

Features:

• High Oil Separation Efficiency: The helical design achieves approximately 99% efficiency in oil separation, ensuring that only a minimal amount of oil (about 0.006% by volume) is discharged into the system
• Centrifugal Flow Path: Utilizes a centrifugal flow path to separate oil from the discharge gas, which helps maintain the compressor crankcase oil level and improves system efficiency by preventing excessive oil circulation
• Integrated Oil Reservoir: The integrated reservoir allows for efficient oil management and return to the compressor, either directly or through an oil management system
• Low Pressure Drop: Designed to minimize pressure drop, ensuring efficient operation of the refrigeration system
• No Moving Parts: The oil separation zone has no moving parts, which enhances reliability and reduces maintenance
• Serviceability: Some models in the series include serviceable components, such as cleanable/replaceable oil float assemblies

This oil separator is a critical component for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of HVAC systems by effectively managing oil return to the compressor.
