OIL SEPARATOR ACCESSORIES
HENRY TECHNOLOGIES HEAT ELEMENTS
Heat elements add heat to oil separators to prevent migration of
refrigerant to the vessel during off cycles of the compressor.
Heat elements can also be used on suction line accumulators to
warm the oil and allow oil return to the compressor on low
temperature applications.

OIL SEPARATORS - REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS
The A-1900-30 Replacement Float Assembly is used on the S-5200
& S-1900 series Oil Separators, and the A-5700-30 is used on
the S-5700 series Oil Separators. Both Replacement Assemblies
include the gasket which can also be ordered separately
(Part Number 2-023-001). The S-5700 series screen cartridge can
also be ordered as a replacement part (Part Number 3-010-301).
A 3/8" ODS oil return connection is available by ordering with an
"X" suffix (i.e. A-1900-30X).
The A-5000-30 Replacement Float Assembly is used on the S-
5800 series Oil Separators. The Replacement Assembly includes

between 5 and 30 psi.
The S-9010 oil level regulator is designed to bolt directly to the 3 bolt sight

The S-9090 regulator allows the oil level in the compressor crankcase to be
maintained at any level between 1/4 and 1/2 sight glass.
The S-9090 maintains the level at any pressure differential* between 5 and 90
psi. If the oil level in the crankcase is too high or too low, the level can be
adjusted by turning the adjustment screw on top of the regulator. This can be
done while the system is in operation. Our exclusive design eliminates the
need of shutting down the system and disconnecting the oil feed lines in order
to adjust the regulator.

OIL LEVEL REGULATORS (CONVENTIONAL)
HENRY TECHNOLOGIES ELECTRO-MECHANICAL OIL LEVEL REGULATORS
S-9030 Adjustable Regulator
The Electro-Mechanical Oil Level Regulator S-9030 provide a simplistic means
OIL LEVEL REGULATORS (CONVENTIONAL)
for controlling oil level for hermetic, semi-hermetic, reciprocating and scroll
compressors, through the use of a float switch and solenoid valve. A magnetic
reed float switch closes upon the reduction of oil level in the oil regulator body.
This action energizes the solenoid valve thereby feeding oil into the regulator
body.
The oil level is adjustable by loosening the compression nut and manually
adjusting the position of the float switch. A low level alarm is also provided, for
oil safety on hermetic and scroll compressors. If the oil level drops 1/8" below
the set point, a second magnetic reed switch closes activating a customer
supplied alarm. This alarm circuit may also be used to disconnect power from
the compressor. While the regulator is in alarm the solenoid valve remains open
trying to re-establish the oil level.

new refrigeration system, some oil will be absorbed by the
refrigerant as the system becomes balanced out. After two
hours of operation, the OIL RESERVOIR, if necessary,
should again be filled to the upper sight glass, and also
after two days, by which time the entire refrigeration
system should be balanced out. Then the OIL
RESERVOIR must be observed on each service call. No
oil should be added again until the oil level falls below the
lower sight glass port.
Existing System Start-Up
When installing this OIL CONTROL SYSTEM, on a parallel
system that has been in operation for some time, the
amount of oil should be added cautiously. With the
efficiency of the new OIL SEPARATOR, the oil return could
likely be sufficient to fill the OIL RESERVOIR to the lower
sight glass port only. Observe for one day. After the
second day, if the oil level has not risen to the upper sight
glass, add oil. If the oil level has risen above the upper
sight glass port, remove the excess oil from the OIL
RESERVOIR.
