Design and operating mode
As illustrated in Fig. 20 the oil separator system consists of two containers, an oil separator at the
top and an oil reservoir at the bottom. In the oil separator the oil is separated from the discharge
gas and taken to the oil reservoir. Both vessels are firmly connected to pipes which cannot be
separated.
Oil separator
As illustrated in Fig. 21 the discharge gas and the oil from the compressor first pass the demisters
where the main part of the oil is separated from the discharge gas and drained into the oil vessel.
