Rule of Thumb #5: Determine the operating temperature at the discharge connection. If
it is above +104° C, methods of cooling the aerosol should be considered.
Rule of Thumb #6: Note the Horsepower of the pump, the outlet connection, and the
nominal capacity.
Rule of Thumb #7: When an external unit is to be used as the primary or sole air/oil
separator in a system, a multi-stage Severe Duty system is required.
Rule of Thumb #8: In the case where an existing air/oil separator (internal or external) is
already used, it is important to specify the desired goal for a second filter. Is it planned to
have a multi-staged system for severe or extreme duty applications, or is there a
requirement for exceptionally clean discharge air? If a multiple stage system is needed,
try to identify the primary stage unit and the purpose for the second stage.
Rule of Thumb #9: Consider where to install the filter. Where possible, it is best to
install in moderate temperature (+10 to +38° C) environments and avoid freezing
conditions to ensure the oil drains freely without causing undue back pressure to the
Vacuum Pump.
