Good To Know

Q: How often should this oil separator be replaced? A: Replacement intervals depend on operating hours and system condition, but it is typically inspected during major service and replaced if clogged or damaged.

Q: What happens if the oil separator fails? A: A failing separator can allow oil to migrate through the system, reducing cooling capacity and risking compressor failure due to oil starvation.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
