Abstract (en)

An oil separator for an air conditioner includes a cylindrical housing (1); a refrigerant discharge pipe communicating with the housing for discharging refrigerant gas; an oil discharge pipe (4) for circulating oil collected in the lower portion of the housing; and a refrigerant inflow pipe (3) having one end facing the inner surface of a side wall of the housing in the tangential direction for supplying a refrigerant-oil mixture to the inside of the housing. An insertion hole (32), into which the refrigerant inflow pipe (3) is inserted, is easily formed, the efficiency of the oil separator is increased, and noise and vibration generated from the oil separator is reduced.
