If the separator is opened too soon, the following could happen:
– The pin on the inside of the connecting housing breaks.
– The pin inside the top of the paring disc breaks.
– Excessive wear of top of level ring.
Illustration 8:
A few drops of oil will normally leak from the connecting housing when the bowl hood is opened.
If oil continues to leak, the cause could be a non-sealing check valve while the s eparator is
connected to an oil tank with an oil level higher than the separator (siphon effect).
