Quincy Compressor-EWS Emulsion Separator
Important Rules
Safety aspects:
• The instructions for installation and operation
must be fully adhered to in order to avoid
damage or injury.
• Ensure that oil or untreated condensate
cannot get into the public sewer system in
the event of damage.
• Check at regular intervals that the EWS unit
is in a leak tight condition.
• Only install original Quincy cartridge sets.
If other filters are used, the functional
guarantee will no longer be valid.
Application aspects:
• The Quincy cartridge is designed for most
modern lubricants, if your system creates a
stable emulsion, contact QUINCY.
• The electronically level-controlled Q MAT
condensate drain should be installed to
ensure optimum condensate discharge.
Condensate discharge by hand or by means
of a time-controlled solenoid valve may
lead to the formation of stable emulsions or
overloading of the EWS unit.
• Maximum operating pressure of the
compressed-air system: 230 psi
Operational aspects:
• Overloading of the EWS impairs the
separating efficiency, shortens the filter
service life and can lead to overflowing.
• Only use Quincy cartridge sets for
replacement. The approved cartridges are
identified by their labelling (see page 12).
Intended use:
The EWS emulsion separator is used for treating
non-emulsified condensate in compliance with
the legal regulations.
Feed fluid: Compressor condensate
Condensate/ambient temperature: 34-140°F
Discharged fluid:
Cleaned condensate with mineral oil
hydrocarbon content far below the statutory
limit (see above). Will meet standard EPA
regulations. Check with your local POTW for
requirements.
