We will start our trip through the loop at the same place we will finish: The oil sump. This reservoir is where oil is stored for use in the system. It is usually located in the lower section of a tank-like cylinder, that also houses components used in the air/oil separation process. This is normally a trouble-free component on. .
Oil from the sump flows through small entry passages around the outside of the filter base and is forced through an opening near the closed side of the filter casing, where it. .
This is our first stop in our trip through the system. This valve will direct our lubricant towards its next component based on temperature. Just. .
This component, like the radiator in your car, passes the fluid through tubing encased in a block of baffles, designed to optimize heat transfer. Most air-cooled air compressors have a high capacity fan which will force air through the baffles, and out of the cabinet,. .
Our next stop, assuming our lubricant has reached its operating temperature will be to the oil cooler. As our lubricant has been subjected to extreme friction and bears the brunt of temperature.

Mount a thermometer in the compressor room. Increase ventilation if room temperature exceeds operating limits. Inspect and remove/vacuum loose dust from inlet filters. Frequency depends on ambient dust load. Inspect and vacuum ambient side of coolers. Frequency depends on ambient dust load.
[pdf] Under normal conditions, a pressure switch or transducer controls the air pressure in a compressor. When the pressure switch reaches its cut-out set pressure, the compressor stops compressing air (unload) until it reaches the cut-in set pressure and starts compressing air again (load). The compressor cannot. .
A pressure relief valve in an air compressor opens when excessive pressure builds up inside the compressor, or the valve fails. .
A pressure relief valve may not come with a pressure vessel purchased separately from the air compressor. It is crucial to add a pressure relief valve to ensure safe operation. There are.
