Hi Chichi

There can be excess noise and vibration due to the increased gas velocity in the seperator, caused by the reduced vapour space above the oil level.

high oil levels in a screw compressor can cause the coalescer to become saturated, reducing the vapor flow and shortening its service life.

In addition tot he above, you can literally blow out an element and oil carry over will increase in any case.
