Maintenance

5.1

Maintenance

Check the filters regularly as explained below in order to prevent untreated condensate
from entering the sewer.
Sample the condensate weekly.

• If the filters are not installed properly, oil-containing condensate can leave the

condensate treatment device.

• Each new filter is provided with a label. The correct position is marked on the label.
• Used filters can be heavy.
• See to it that no condensate comes into contact with eyes, mouth, etc.

Condensate treatment

The oil/water separator has been designed to clean the condensate to levels below 10 ppm oil in
water. Generally, this is well below the acceptance level for disposal in normal sewage leading to
a water cleaning station. However, due to strongly varying international and local regulations, it is
the user’s responsibility to consult local waste water discharge regulations and ensure
compliance.

Product lifetime

The product has an expected lifetime of 4000 hours. However, since every compressor
installation can burden its separator in a variety of ways, it is difficult to make a general prediction
regarding the lifetime of the separator. Therefore, it is advised to check the turbidity of the outlet
water on a weekly basis using the test capsule provided with the product. It will allow you to get
an indication of the outlet concentration in an easy and cost-effective way, as measuring the
exact oil content in water remains a quite expensive and difficult process. To have an exact
value, a sample should be taken and sent to a specialized lab.

Service kits

A complete range of service kits is available for the servicing of a saturated oil/water separator.
Service kits comprise all parts needed for servicing components and offer the benefits of using
genuine parts while keeping the maintenance budget low.
