  • Patent number: 9828995
    Abstract: A unique compressor system may include a compressor having a compressor housing. The compressor housing may include an oil drainage passage formed therein. The passage may be configured to drain oil from bearings and other oil-lubricated components of the compressor. The compressor may be coupled to a gearbox or an oil tank. The gearbox or oil tank may include a passage that is in fluid communication with the oil drainage passage. The gearbox or oil tank passage may be operative to receive the drained oil and to direct the drained oil to an oil tank.

  • Patent number: 9447919
    Abstract: An oil slinger for a blower is provided. The oil slinger provides many unique features including, but not limited to, being removably mounted to a rotatably mounted shaft. Such removable mounting can be accomplished through use of an adapter sleeve mounted over a shaft, a slinger hub onto which is mounted an oil slinger, and a lock nut with retaining element. In one form the adapter sleeve includes a outer frustoconical surface which engages an inner frustoconical surface of the slinger hub.
