PLANT DESCRIPTION
Oil is circulated by pump from the sump of gear casing through cooler & filter towards the bearing & timing gears. Oil circuit bypass valve opens if the oil pressure should rise above a given value. Three moisture trap are installed: one downstream of the intercooler to prevent condensate from entering compressor element, one downstream of the after cooler to prevent condensate from entering the air outlet pipe & one fitted in the blow off pipe to prevent moisture trap from blowing through silencers during transition from loaded to unloaded operation. The moisture traps are connected to condensate drain receiver. Each drain receiver is provided with a float valve to automatically drain condensate and manual drain valve.
