The Micro Oil Screw Air Compressor uses two rotors (screws) that rotate in opposite directions. As the screws turn, air is drawn in and compressed. The oil injected into the system lubricates and cools the compressor element while also sealing the gap between the screws.
[pdf] The solution here is to check and clean the unidirectional valve, replacing it when necessary. Improper installation or blockage of the oil return pipeline will impede the normal return of the lubricating oil.
[pdf] First, check that there isn't a very high air demand, or air leak somewhere. If the capacity of the air compressor is really too low, check the following: Check differential pressure over oil separator. Replace separator when necessary. Check and replace compressed air filters (if installed).
