Oil Suppy Tanks - Oil Level Regulators
Posted in Uncategorized by Boiler Guy on April 22nd, 2008 For those of you with mechanical rooms that include engines, compressors or engine driven generators, the need for a constant, reliable method of feeding oil has always been a concern. When asked for the best method to accomplish this, we have always suggested using an oil level regulator along with a properly sized oil supply tank and stand.
An oil level regulator automatically maintains the required oil level in an engine and can be directly mounted on the engine with a simple mounting bracket. From a separate oil tank at or near the engine, the regulator delivers only that amount of oil that is required to maintain a constant level in the engine crankcase. Care must be taken to choose an oil level regulator that is insensitive to vibration.
When installed along with an oil tank supply and stand, many customer report substantial savings in oil consumption. This system also eliminates manually checking oil levels and frequent manual fillings.
Oil supply tanks and stands are available in 5, 10, 15, 30 and 55 gallon sizes. Definitely a system worth considering!
