Q How to address oil carryover from an oil mist separator?
A How to address oil carryover from an oil mist separator?
Verify the filtration rating (upgrade to 0.3μm for fine oil aerosols).
Check for excessive inlet oil concentration (ensure upstream lubricators are set correctly).
Replace the filter element if past its service life (typically 5,000–10,000 operating hours).

Inlet pressure fluctuations: Install a pressure stabilizer or larger air receiver tank.
Worn regulator diaphragm: Replace with an OEM diaphragm kit (avoid generic parts).
Loose connections: Tighten fittings or replace damaged O-rings/NPT seals.

Q Why is my filter bowl filling with condensate too quickly?
A Possible causes:
No drain valve or auto-drain installed (add a manual/auto-drain for continuous moisture removal).
Inlet air not pre-treated (install a refrigeration dryer upstream for high-humidity environments).
Filter element clogged (replace or clean according to the maintenance schedule).
