ABSTRACT:
An oil/vapor separator separates lubrication oil from refrigerant vapor in an air conditioning cycle. The separator includes a chamber in which are disposed upper and lower apertured buffer plates sandwiching a filter therebetween. Oil and vapor passing through the buffer plates and the filter exits the lower buffer plate in a swirling path so that centrifugal force displaces oil outwardly against a wall of the chamber, and the oil gravitates downwardly for collection at the bottom of the chamber. The refrigerant vapor is discharged through a vapor outlet pipe positioned centrally in the chamber. An apertured separating plate is situated between the lower buffer plate and the collected oil to isolate the collected oil from the swirling vapor. The vapor outlet pipe extends through the separating plate and is supported thereby.
