Conventional Oil Separators

500 SERIES CONVENTIONAL OIL SEPARATORS:
ACCESSIBLE IMPINGEMENT

The 500 Series Conventional Oil Separators are impingement screen-type conventional oil separators. In these units, the compressed mass flow enters a larger separator chamber, which lowers the velocity of the mass. The atomized oil droplets then collect on the impingement screen surface. As the oil droplets become larger, they fall to the bottom of the separator oil reservoir.

* The 500 Series is designed for the OEM who needs oil separation and accessibility to the unit for filter changes.
* The 600 Series is designed for the OEM who needs oil separation but does not require the accessibility of the 500 Series.

Installation Instructions for All 500 series, Oil Separators
500-600 Series Sizing Chart

1. Locate the separator in a warm, draft free area, or wrap separator with insulation.
2. Install the separator in a vertical position, close to the compressor, in between
compressor and condenser, upstream (before) of any bypass piping.
3. Clamp and support separator and piping properly to minimize vibration potential.
4. Lines into and out of separator must be the same size diameter as separator
connection size.
5. Be careful of location as not to impede future service.
6. Charge the separator with the recommend amount of oil through the outlet
connection before starting the system.
7. Keep separator cool when brazing.
8. If oil separator is lower than the condenser, take precautions to keep liquid
refrigerant out of separator.
9. Check oil level on new installations frequently.

Motorcycle Shaft Drive Grease

General Purpose Grease Grease has several uses on a motorcycle. It's there to protect parts from water, to keep rubber and plastic seals from drying out, and to provide lubrication. Generally speaking, grease is just a reduced fat. In fact, you can find several companies who call their grease bases "soap." The choice for a general purpose grease to protect from water, keep seals moist, and provide lubrication is easy. If you're going to do your own maintenance, I recommend you get Mobil-1 or Valvoline synthetic grease for general purposes, about $6 / pound anywhere. This stuff can handle temperatures higher and lower than you'll ever get near. A one pound jar should last you about 15 years. Shaft Drive Gear Maintenance There are two types of maintenance you must do on a shaft drive bike. At your rear wheel there are pinion gears where the spinning drive shaft motion is turned 90 degrees into the rear wheel motion. These gears are bathed in oil which much be c...

Vertical Lube Oil Pumps (Model VCRE)

Lube oil pumping applications demand a pump that provides reliability and extended service life with a minimum of maintenance. The typical Lube Oil pump must also be capable of operation over a wide range of temperature and liquid viscosity conditions. The VCRE family of pumps is designed specifically with these requirements in mind. The VCRE lube oil pump is a vertically submerged pump that utilizes an ANSI standard hydraulic construction, enclosed bearing housing, and welded piping construction which eliminates the inherent maintenance and leakage problems associated with other pumps. During operation, axial and radial thrust loads are controlled by Buffalo’s exclusive modified casing volute and impeller design. is backed by extensive field-proven experience in designing pumps to handle any lube oil application. This experience also provides flexibility in assisting OEM’s contractors and end-users in designing a sound instal...
