1.4 System
The compressor system is protected from over pressurization by a
mechanical inlet control in the compressor that regulates air flow in
response to the demand. There is also a 200 PSI (1,379 kPa)
pressure relief valve in the oil/air separation tank to protect the
system from over pressurization. If the oil temperature exceeds
290°F (143°C) the system is switched off, draining the high pressure
air and reducing the load on the engine.
VMAC certified oil is used to lubricate the compressor and is the only
approved lubricant. Any other oil will void the warranty. The oil/air
separator tank removes most of the oil from the compressed air and
the coalescing separating filter removes the remaining oil. The oil is
passed through a replaceable filter to remove contaminants.
The compressor intake is equipped with a replaceable paper filter
element.
