In the components of high and low temperature test chambers, separators are essential. There are various types of separators, among which the most common are the gas-liquid separator and the oil separator. Each type has its own characteristics. Let’s take a closer look at their features.
I. Gas-Liquid Separator in High and Low Temperature Test Chambers
The gas-liquid separator not only regulates the refrigeration capacity but also effectively prevents phenomena such as liquid strike. However, this device has its drawbacks: it can interrupt the oil return in the system. Therefore, when installing a gas-liquid separator, it is usually necessary to install an oil separator as well.
II. Oil Separator in High and Low Temperature Test Chambers
During the testing process, the lubricating oil of the compressor circulates through the system along with the refrigerant and returns to the compressor’s suction port. However, sometimes a portion of the oil may be carried to the compressor’s exhaust port. This is where the oil separator comes into play. The oil separator allows the lubricating oil to return to the system, increasing the saturation of oil in the refrigerant, which facilitates the return of oil. Currently, the pipelines in testing equipment are relatively large, and the amount of lubricating oil is significant. To ensure smooth oil return, manufacturers typically install oil separators.
