Abstract
An oil separator to separate oil from oil and refrigerant mixture. The oil separator includes inlets to allow entry of the oil and refrigerant mixture into the oil separator. The mixture flows and strikes on center of the one or more walls of the oil separator. The mixture then flows towards demister pads for filtration. The oil is separated from the mixture and exits the oil separator from the oil outlet. The refrigerant separated from the mixture escapes through the refrigerant outlet.
