What happens if too much oil in AC system?
If you add too much oil to the system, it may pool in various places of the system and can coat the inner walls of the evaporator and condenser coils. This will diminish their ability to absorb or dissipate heat, thereby bringing down the overall cooling performance.
How often should air compressor oil be changed?
The oil change is usually carried out in connection with recurring maintenance. Mineral compressor oil should be changed every 4000 operating hours. Synthetic compressor oils can usually be operated twice as long.
How do you separate compressed air from oil and water?
The most effective way to remove oil from compressed air lines is multi-stage filtration. Generally, each stage of multi-stage filtration removes a different type of contaminant; specialized filtration materials and techniques are used to remove moisture, dirt/dust, oil, etc.
What is the separator on a Sullair blower?
The separator is a large filter element that removes the oil from the output air that wasn’t knocked free from the air when it rammed into the side of the receiver.

Why is my Sullair blowing too much oil?
there should be a sight-glass that will let you know if the oil level is too high or too low. The top of the oil level should be visible in the sight-glass and not over filled. You may just be over filling the oil tank (receiver). usually its the oil separator in the receiver being saturated or in need of replacing that causes this.
How big is an oil separator in a compressor?
Typically a compressor air filter has a 25 micron rating, an oil filter 10 micron and an air / oil separator a 3 micron rating. Especially in dirty environments due to the fineness of the separator filter media it becomes a receptacle for particles not captured by the air or oil filter. The separator becomes clogged.
