Abstract

An air deoiling element with a drainage line for discharging the separated liquids, in which the drainage line is integrally mounted to a support member.

Claims

1. An air deoiling element, comprising a drainage line for discharging the separated liquids from the device, wherein the drainage line is integrally mounted to a support member.

2. A device as claimed in claim 1 for an air compressor, particularly a rotary screw compressor.

3. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the support member is a support tube and the drainage line is welded, clipped, bonded or injection molded onto the support tube, integrally manufactured with the support tube or inserted into a seat of the support tube.

4. A device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the drainage line is inserted into an opening of the support tube.

5. A device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the opening is a tubular opening.

6. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the integrally mounted drainage line is connected to an end disk when a winding is glued to the support member.

7. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a one-piece drainage line is mounted to a support member assembled from a plurality of components.

8. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the device is inserted into a pressure vessel.

9. An air compressor system comprising an air deoiling element as claimed in claims 1.
