Abstract

See full text

The air compressor pre-lubrication system includes an oil pump, a priming tank, and a control valve. The oil pump is connected to an oil sump and includes a discharge line connected to an air compressor. The priming tank is connected to the oil pump to receive pressurized oil. The control valve is provided in an outline line connected to the priming tank and is further connected to the oil pump discharge line. The priming tank is configured to maintain a charge of oil from the oil pump and selectively release the charge of oil through actuation of the control valve. An auxiliary pre-lubrication oil pump may replace the priming tank. The pre-lubrication oil pump is connected to the oil sump and is fluidly coupled to the discharge line leading to the air compressor.
