The core problem of compressor oper
What is the role of the oil separator as a device installed on the discharge end of the compressor
What is an oil separator? It is a device installed on the discharge end of the compressor. What is its function?
The oil separator separates the refrigerated lubricating oil and refrigerant gas. Note that the oil separator is not installed in every ice water machine, because some ice water machines do not need to install an oil separator. Once the oil separator is installed, the oil separator must be installed behind the compressor exhaust port of the chiller. After the compressor discharges the mixed gas of refrigerant and refrigerating lubricating oil, the oil separator will use the exhaust port To drive the oil separator, centrifugal force (centrifugal oil separator) is used to separate the refrigerated lubricant and refrigerant.
Through the above explanation, I believe everyone already understands the oil separator. So, is the oil separator really simple and has a relatively small effect?
In fact, the structure of the oil separator is not very complicated, but its effect is not small.
First of all, if there is no oil separator, it will definitely cause compressor lubrication problems, which will soon become apparent. 【Refrigerator】
Secondly, if the ice water machine does not have an oil separator, although the refrigerant mixed with frozen lubricating oil can complete the condensation and evaporation to a certain extent, it is impossible to complete the condensation, evaporative cooling and other processes normally, and it is impossible to achieve the cooling efficiency and cooling capacity. Claim.
Finally, if there is no oil separator, the compressor will definitely not operate normally.
Of course, this is not to repeat the compressor lubrication problem mentioned above, but to say-because there is no oil separator, the refrigerant cannot be completely condensed and condensed normally, which will cause the liquid and frozen lubricating oil to enter the compression from the suction side Machine, causing serious problems.
It can be seen that the oil separator is not only "oil separation", it is also related to various other processes, or even very large. If a certain ice water machine system requires an oil separator to operate normally, Once separated, it will cause serious problems, resulting in compressor shutdown and equipment shutdown in a short time.
Actually, the oil separator is not as simple as you think. Please all the corporate staff responsible for the maintenance and operation of the ice water machine, must pay attention to the oil separator!
