ABSTRACT:
A compressor cooling system is provided for use with an engine PTO driven oil-flooded air compressor. The compressor cooling system includes an oil flow path from the compressor oil outlet, through an oil/coolant heat exchanger, and to the compressor oil inlet. The system further includes a coolant flow path in fluid communication with the engine cooling system with the oil/coolant heat exchanger interposed in the coolant flow path. Thus, coolant flowing through the engine cooling path also flows through the oil/coolant heat exchanger in heat transfer relation with the compressor oil flowing therethrough. The compressor coolant flow path is integrated into the engine cooling system so that flow through the compressor coolant flow path is not interrupted by operation of the thermostatic bypass valve in the engine cooling system.
