106 The body is manufactured from steel pipe of adequate thickness. Flanges and cover are also made of steel. Either threaded connections of separators series 5520 or solder connections of separators series 5540 are manufactured, machining, with steel bar EN 10277-3 11S Mn Pb 37 + C. The internal device is simple in order to assure a trouble-free long operation. Appropriate metallic screens, placed on the inlet and outlet, rapidly reduce gas speed, and create the conditions required for the separation of the oil from the refrigerant. A float operated needle valve, set on the bottom of the...
