Air/Oil Separator Failures caused by Minimum Pressure Check Valve Failures

The failure of a minimum pressure check valve in a lubricated rotary screw compressor can cause the following problems: If it fails to open properly on start-up: The minimum pressure check valve is designed to start opening at approximately 35 PSIG in the air/oil sump. As the pressure builds, the valve should be completely open at approximately 70 PSIG. If it is varnished and sticks completely closed until the pressure in the air/oil sump reaches 75 to 100 PSIG, it
