Oil separator clean up after screw failure?
Hello, I have a Frick (RWB270) package with a screw compressor that has run out of oil and died a very messy death. I now have a lot of metal through the skid especially the oil separator. As these are pretty well sealed I was trying to come up with a plan to try and flush as much of the debris out. I have taken out a probe pocket as well as the oil pump connection but there is not much access into the separator. I had considered cutting into it but that opens up a whole new can of worms with re-certification etc of the vessel. The oil has also been pretty burnt so there will be a carbon "crust" on the internals at a guess. Any suggestions on solvents etc to flush out with. I am in New Zealand so some products could not be available here.
By the way this is a lemon I inherited and it sure did not smoke itself under my watch!
Cheers, Kiwi
