ABSTRACT:
An oil separator for use in a compressor for separating oil from refrigerant. The separator includes a discharge line having an inner surface, a structure in the discharge line forming an inlet and an outlet within the discharge line, wherein the inlet has a wider diameter than the outlet; and a design for preventing oil from exiting the outlet and means for directing the oil out of the discharge line. In one embodiment, the structure is a substantially circular wall, and wherein the design for preventing is the shape of the wall and relative orientation of the wall to the discharge line. In one embodiment, the relative orientation is such that the discharge line has a flow direction with a horizontal component of orientation and the wall has a vertical component of orientation relative the horizontal component.
