The oil separator sits at the compressor discharge and separates lubricating oil entrained in the hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas, returning it to the crankcase so the compressor always has enough oil. Kilterra KW/OVS oil separators offer high separation efficiency and reliable oil return - standard protection for screw, piston and heat pump systems.
Application Scenarios
- Screw chillers
- Piston compressor units
- Heat pump heating systems
- Low-temperature cold room units
- Parallel compressor banks
Selection Differences by Scenario
- Size by compressor displacement and line diameter; capacity must match the system
- Choose pressure rating and materials by refrigerant (R32/R290 need higher rating)
- For low-temperature heat pumps choose models with oil heating or high-efficiency return
- For parallel compressor banks verify oil return capacity
Product Advantages
Shells are spun from quality steel plate or welded from steel tube; internal mesh is stainless steel, oil- and corrosion-resistant. Welding uses nitrogen shielding; every unit passes pressure and leak tests.
For 37 years Kilterra has focused on one thing: build refrigeration components right, deliver them on time. Oil Separator supports OEM/ODM customization - factory visits, sample testing and volume partnerships are welcome.
