Air drawn through the airfilter (AF) into the compressor
element (CE) is compressed. At the element outlet,
compressed air and oil pass into the air receiver/oil separator
(AR/OS).
The check valve prevents blow-back of compressed air when
the compressor is stopped. In the air receiver/oil separator
(AR/OS), most of the oil is removed from the air/oil mixture: the
remaining oil is removed by the separator element.
The oil collects in the receiver and on the bottom of the
separator element.
The air leaves the receiver via the minimum pressure valve
(MPV) which prevents the receiver pressure from dropping
below the minimum working pressure, even when the air outlet
valves are open. This ensures adequate oil injection and
prevents oil consumption.
