BECKER O 6.4 + O 6.8 Oil change The oil seals the pump and improves its running properties. When the oil is used in the compressor chamber, it comes into direct contact with the process gas. This contaminates the oil. The pump can no longer achieve the required performance characteristics.
BECKER O 6.4 + O 6.8 Changing the air/oil separator (LEE) The air/oil separator cleans the process gas flowing through the pump. It mainly separates the oil that the process gas has absorbed as oil mist in the compressor chamber. As the operating time increases, the LEE becomes saturated with oil.
