Abstract
A vertical compressor is converted to a horizontal compressor by laying the vertical compressor on its side and locating it within the standard shell of a larger vertical compressor. The end caps and partition of the smaller compressor are removed while the end caps and the partition of the larger compressor are added. A lubricant pump pumps lubricant from the sump defined between the two shells to all areas of the compressor requiring lubrication.
