OIL LEVEL SIGNALLING DEVICE FOR COMPRESSOR AND OIL MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, WITH REMOVABLE DETECTION AND CONTROL UNIT

摘要

An oil level signalling device (1) for an oil-lubricated compressor (10) comprises a main body (2) in which is formed a detection chamber (4) and a fluidic communication path (420) between the compressor and the detection chamber. A floating element (6) is enclosed in the detection chamber (4) and is suitable to vary its position as a function of the amount of oil. A detection and control unit (7) is removably anchored to the main body (2) and is suitable to detect a position of the floating element (6) and to generate an oil level signal as a function of the position of the floating element (6). An oil management apparatus (1') regulates the flow of oil in the compressor (10) as a function of the oil level signal.
