Air/Oil Separator
Removal and Replacement
Providing the compressor oil has been changed at the
prescribed intervals and is free from contamination, the
separator should require only infrequent attention. If,
however, the oil consumption of the compressor rises or oil
mist is discharged with the delivered air, then it may be
necessary to change the air/oil separator.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE SEPARATOR IS
CHANGED BUT IF CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATE, IT
MAY BE CLEANED AND REFITTED.
1 Disconnect the scavenge oil pipe, the air pressure
gauge, the air delivery hose and the electrical
connections to the receiver air temperature switch.
2 Remove the six set screws A securing the receiver
cover B. Lift off the cover and top gasket.
3 Examine the receiver scavenge oil restrictor C (this is a
1.6mm (
1
/16 in) smooth bore hole in receiver cover).
Clean it if necessary.
4 Slacken and remove the static earthing screw passing
through the separator and bottom gasket D, and
withdraw the separator.
5 Renew the separator. No other servicing is permitted.
6 The separator should be assembled in the reverse
order to dismantling and new gaskets fitted. Torque
tighten the receiver cover screws to 68 Nm (50 Ibf /ft).
!!
CAUTION
Ensure the static earthing screw is replaced correctly.
