Fluid Scavenging System - Quincy QSF Series Instruction Manual

Fluid Scavenging System

Fluid from inside the fluid separator element is returned to the inlet valve or air-end by way of a
scavenger tube positioned inside the fluid separator element, through an orifice and via a stainless steel
tube to the compressor. Failure to keep the orifice clean will result in excessive fluid carryover. Cleaning
of the orifice should be performed which ever occurs first.
•
When no fluid is seen moving through the sight glass.
•
When excessive fluid carryover is detected.
•
Every fluid change.
•
Once per year.
NOTE:
Do not ream the orifice or change the orifice size. Do not install the orifice reversed.
