Oil Receiver

Oil reservoirs are storage tanks that receive oil from oil sepa- rator and provide its return to the compressor’s crankcase through oil level regulator. 

Amount of oil circulating in a system varies depending on operating conditions. Oil reservoir prevents compres- sor’s crankcase from staying without oil during potential fluctuations by providing additional storage capacity. Oil reservoir prevents liquid refrigerant from flowing to the oil level regulators and therefore fluctuations in the oil level caused by compressors are prevented.

Application field

Recommended to be used in following systems: Flooded systems with large refrigerant charge, two or more compres- sors operating in parallel, long suction and discharge lines, double suction line risers. Oil reservoir should be installed between oil separator and oil level regulator.

Selection

Select an oil reservoir according to the number of compres- sors connected, compressor oil charge, system refrigerant charge, operating conditions and oil volume of the unit.

Technical Specifications

Oil pressure valve can be supplied on request.                

Custom made products can  be  supplied with  different volumes and  specifications,  provided  that  they  comply with CE 2014/68/EU [PED] pressure vessels directive.

Warning

•  If oil level falls below the level of sight glass on the reservoir, please add oil.

•  The oil reservoir should be installed at the higher level than the compressor’s crankcase.

• Before installing rotalock valve, ensure that gasket channel is clean and not damaged.

• Sight glasses are mounted by us, do not make any operation with them. When carrying out a general leaking test check if there is any leak at the sight glasses and please ensure that they are not damaged.
