Atlas Copco 1622001710 Scavenge Line

Teilename: Scavenge Line (Oil Separator Oil Return Copper Tube / Metal Return Line Assembly)

Related adjacent part: 1622001700 (Scavenge Line of the same series)

1. Grundlegende Informationen

Teile-Nr.: 1622001710

Beschreibung: Scavenge Line (oil-injected screw air compressor oil return pipeline)

Material: Metal copper tube assembly with fittings

Applicable units: Atlas Copco GA series oil-injected screw air compressors (widely used for GA22)

Funktion: Residual oil collected at the bottom of the oil separator element flows back to the compressor main rotor chamber through this line under pressure difference, also known as oil separator return oil pipe.

2. Funktionsprinzip

After oil-gas separation inside the oil separator tank, separated residual oil returns to the main rotor chamber of the compressor via the 1622001710 scavenge line by pressure difference.

If the pipeline is blocked, cracked or the fitting leaks, the following faults will occur:

1. High oil content in compressed air, excessive oil consumption / oil carryover
2. Abnormal liquid level in oil separator tank
3. Insufficient lubrication for airend, increasing risk of airend wear
4. Fehlerdiagnose & Ersatzhinweise
5. Common failures: Copper tube cracking, thread stripping on fittings, carbon deposit clogging inside pipeline, aging and oil leakage of O-rings
6. Pre-replacement steps: Shut down and relieve pressure, confirm zero pressure inside oil separator tank; clean carbon deposits inside pipeline; inspect O-rings at both ends, seal parts are recommended to be replaced together.
7. Installation: Do not forcibly bend the copper tube to avoid stress cracking; control tightening torque to prevent fitting deformation.
8. Alternative & Customs Declaration Information

Inländische Alternativen: Many aftermarket copies available with identical external dimensions, but differences exist in material, pressure resistance and aging resistance compared with OEM parts. OEM is preferred for continuous heavy-duty working conditions.

Difference between 1622001700 Und 1622001710 Scavenge Line

Both are scavenge line copper tube assemblies for GA series oil-injected screw compressors, oil separator tank secondary oil return. Same thread specification at ports, NOT DIRECTLY INTERCHANGEABLE. Core difference lies in tube length, bending angle and installation routing, for different power / different generation GA units.

✅ 1622001700

Applicable units: GA15 / GA18 / GA22 (older fixed speed models, produced approx. 2000~2008 with original cabinet structure)

Profil: Shorter copper tube with small bending radius, compact installation space

Installation route: From bottom of oil separator element to air inlet side of airend, short-distance oil return

Merkmale: Standard part for early fixed-speed GA22; narrow internal cabinet layout with limited space for pipe routing

Bemerkung: Part explosion drawing of some old GA22 lists this part number.

✅ 1622001710

Applicable units: GA22 VSD variable speed models + later revised fixed-speed GA22 (cabinet upgraded after 2008)

Profil: Longer copper tube with an extra bend; routing to avoid VSD module and cooling air duct inside cabinet

Installation route: Outlet from bottom of oil separator tank, bypassing the VSD housing with longer pipe routing

Common pitfall: Same GA22 nameplate, but pre-revision fixed-speed machines use 1622001700; GA22 VSD and revised GA22 use 1622001710

Vergleichstabelle

⚠️ Critical Selection Reminders

1. Do NOT select only based on GA22 power rating! Verify by machine serial number / explosion drawing

Even with identical GA22 nameplate, part number of scavenge line changes before and after cabinet revision, which is the most common cause of wrong spare part purchase.

2. On-site quick verification method:

Shut down and remove side panel, compare length and bending route of old pipe. Short pipe with simple bend = 1622001700; longer pipe with extra bend to bypass VSD =1622001710.

3. Risk of wrong installation: Copper tube sustains continuous vibration stress, resulting in copper crack and oil leakage / oil carryover in short operation time.

Ergänzen

Both share identical O-ring sealing specification. O-rings at both ends are recommended to be replaced together regardless of part number.
