we have oil leakage problem. major oil leakage is from hose connections and also from joints.will you please suggest us what to do?

Pramod, at the risk of sounding condescending, how is it that the joints are loose enough for oil to leak?

Is the issue that you have oil flooding into your air lines?

If your compressor is a rotary screw type, it sounds like your air/oil separator may be acting up. Have you service it recently?

Good luck.

Bill

 USING SINGLE MOTOR FOR COMBICOOLER AND MOTOR COOLING
by: Anonymous

Hi...
thanks for your quick response Bill.
had another problem..
actually we are planning to use main motor for both cooling air/oil in our screw compressor .
so we are planning to use single fan for both motor cooling and air/oil cooling .
ican either cool motor first and then through closed channel the coling air will pass through air/oil cooler(i.e force draft) or i can first suck the air through cooler and then pass it over motor which one will be efficient.
you can suggest me any other better way of doing it.
