Abstract
An air compressor includes a compressor unit, an intake regulator valve connected to the compressor unit, and intake filter connected to the intake regulator valve, an oil separator connected to the compressor unit, an oil supply line connecting the lower part of the oil separator to various points inside the compressor unit, and an oil return line connecting the oil collector unit to the passage connecting the intake filter and the intake regulator valve. The passage connecting the intake filter to the intake regulator valve has a section of reduced cross-sectional area, including an inner tube having holes to connect to a surrounding hollow region. The oil return line opens into the passage at a point higher than the level of oil in the intake regulator valve.
