Oil separators should always be installed in the discharge line immediately after the compressor. They need to be at a point where the refrigerant
is in a vapor state for the oil to separate.
The discharge line is the selected placement because:
1. The refrigerant is in a vapor state making the oil less miscible and easier to separate.
2. There is a pressure differential for returning oil to the compressor.
3. It is proximate to the compressor for oil return.
