Filter for Dissolved Oils in a Refrigerant Gas

I'm sure someone who specializes in refrigeration will be along to help--In the meantime:

Filter for oil--Suction accumulators, I believe, keep the liquid refrigerant and oil from slugging the compressor. Beyond that, I think oil carried in freon is acceptable. I know that freon will abandon the oil upon escaping to atmosphere and oil is a good indicator of a leak.

Water in freon? Filter/Dryers deal with that--Are you removing them and testing for something? What, specifically, are you trying to do?

Filters are great for taking solids out of fluids.

Separation of oils from refrigerants falls outside the application of filters per se.

Would oil traps that are used in larger type refrigeration systems be of any use?

This is a portable moisture analyzer for refrigerant gases currently on the market.

If any oil is present in the refrigerant gas it will cause damage do the electrolyzing cell that gives us the moisture measurement.

The oil is not always present and will be in very low quantities.

The filter has to be fairly small.

The filter medium can not absorb moisture, because it will cause a delay to the moisture measurement time. It take time to absorb and release as the actual moisture content of the gas goes up and down.

How will separators work. Any web links that I can look them up?
