Introductory Overview of the Oil Separator’s Role in Compressed Air Quality

This introductory article explains how the oil–air separator in oil-injected compressors influences compressed air quality, how it affects oil carryover, filter and dryer lifetime and overall system efficiency, and why paying attention to separator condition is essential for keeping oil contamination under control and reducing operating costs.

Compressed Air Basics – An Introductory Guide for Engineers and Technicians

This introductory article explains what compressed air is, why pressure and flow matter, which contaminants are present in industrial compressed air and how proper filtration, oil separation and drying help protect equipment and product quality.

Guide to Selecting and Classifying Air and Oil Filters in Industrial Systems

This article explains, in practical terms, what types of air and oil filters are used in industrial systems, how they are broadly classified and how to choose the right filter based on contamination type, filtration class, pressure drop and operating conditions, so you can protect equipment and avoid unnecessary downtime.

Principles of Oil–Air Separator Operation and Key Selection Criteria

This introductory article explains, in clear and practical language, how the oil–air separator in an oil-injected screw compressor works, what oil carryover and pressure drop mean in real operation and which key technical points you should consider when selecting and maintaining a separator to protect equipment and improve compressed air quality.

Compressed air is one of the most critical energy sources in modern industry. It is consumed across factories just like electricity and water, and it plays an essential infrastructure role in production lines, pneumatic tools, control systems, packaging units, automation lines, and various industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, automotive, and thousands of other applications.
