Henry Group Industries S-5585 Conventional Oil Separator 5/8" ODS 3/8" Flare Return

The Henry Group Industries S-5585 is a conventional welded oil separator designed to efficiently remove oil from refrigerant discharge gas and return it to the compressor crankcase. This compact unit features a 5/8" ODS (copper tube) inlet/outlet connection and a 3/8" SAE flare oil return connection, making it ideal for systems rated up to 4 tons with R404A refrigerant.

Key Features:

• Top inlet and top outlet configuration with 5/8" ODS connections
• 3/8" SAE flare oil return connection for efficient oil management
• Float-operated needle valve automatically returns separated oil to crankcase
• Dual screen design (inlet and outlet) for effective oil particle separation
• Compact dimensions: 4.0" diameter x 14.25" height
• Capacity: 1.32 to 4.0 CFM discharge, up to 4 tons refrigeration
• Compatible with HCFC and HFC refrigerants (R-134a, R-22, R-404A, R-507)
• Low pressure drop design (less than 0.5 PSI when properly sized)
• Magnet on oil float collects metallic debris for compressor protection
• 1/8" NPT oil drain port for servicing

Applications:

• Multi-compressor refrigeration racks
• Remote condensing units
• Low pressure oil management systems
• Scroll and reciprocating compressors (not recommended for screw or rotary vane types)

This conventional oil separator maintains proper compressor crankcase oil levels and improves system efficiency by preventing excessive oil circulation. The unit operates by reducing gas velocity as refrigerant enters, causing fine oil particles to collide and form heavier droplets that adhere to the inlet screen and separator walls. Separated oil collects at the bottom where the float valve returns it to the compressor, while clean refrigerant gas exits through the outlet screen.
