Henry Group Industries S-5587 Conventional Oil Separator 7/8" ODS 3/8" FL Return

The Henry Group Industries S-5587 is a non-serviceable conventional oil separator designed to remove oil from discharge gas in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. This all-welded unit features a 7/8" ODS connection with a 3/8" SAE flare oil return, making it ideal for maintaining compressor efficiency and protecting system components.

Key Features:

• 7/8" ODS inlet/outlet connections with top inlet and top outlet configuration
• 3/8" SAE flare oil return connection
• 1/8" NPT oil drain port
• Rated capacity: 6.5 tons maximum for R404A at -40°F evaporator temperature
• Nickel plated steel connections for corrosion resistance
• Float-operated needle valve for automatic oil return
• Magnet on oil float collects debris
• Achieves approximately 80% oil separation efficiency
• Low pressure drop design (under 0.5 psi when properly sized)

How It Works:

Oil-laden refrigerant gas enters the separator and passes through an inlet screen where gas velocity is reduced. This velocity change causes fine oil particles to collide and form heavier droplets that adhere to the inlet screen and separator walls. The gas then passes through an outlet screen for final separation before exiting. Separated oil collects at the bottom where a float-operated valve automatically returns it to the compressor crankcase or oil reservoir.

Applications:

Designed for use with scroll and reciprocating compressors in low pressure oil management systems. Common applications include multi-compressor racks, remote condensing units, and commercial refrigeration systems. Compatible with HCFC and HFC refrigerants including R-134a, R-22, R-404A, and R-507, along with their associated oils.

Important Notes:

Not recommended for screw or rotary vane compressors. This is a non-serviceable model with all-welded construction. For serviceable options, see Henry's S-19 series. UL listed and designed for use in the United States and Canada.
