OUB

Oil separator type OUB is for use in all refrigeration plants where the compressor lubricating oil must be returned directly to the compressor oil sump under all operating conditions. In this way lubricating oil from the compressor is prevented from circulating with the refrigerant in the refrigeration system itself.

Features and benefits

  • Ensures oil return to compressor oil sump. Prevents compressor breakdown caused by lack of lubrication. Increases compressor operating life
  • High efficiency due to the interaction of reduced flow velocity, change of flow direction for oil concentration, collection of separated oil at high temperatures, and automatic oil return to the crankcase
  • Protects against liquid hammer in the compressor
  • Better utilisation of condenser and evaporator capacity (no oil-gas collection)
  • Pulsation and noise damping on the high- pressure side of system
  • OUB 1 may be used in the following EX range:Category 3 (Zone 2)
