Abstract: An air compression system includes an internal combustion engine operable to produce a power output in response to combustion of a fuel-air mixture, and an air compressor driven by the internal combustion engine and operable to draw in atmospheric air and discharge a mixed flow of compressed air and water. A water injection system supplies water to the fuel-air mixture and into the internal combustion engine, a separator assembly in communication with the air compressor separates a portion of the water from the compressed air, and a water passageway interconnects the separator assembly and the water injection system such that the air compressor supplies water to the water injection system.

Abstract: A compressor discharge system, operable to output a flow of compressed air to a service line at a system pressure, includes a compressor operable to produce a flow of compressed air at a discharge pressure. The system also includes a filter positioned downstream of the compressor and operable to receive the flow of compressed air at about the discharge pressure and discharge the flow of compressed air at a filter pressure. The system also includes a control assembly including an actuator and a variable sized orifice movable between a first, open position and a second, restricted position, the variable orifice positioned to receive the flow of compressed air at about the filter pressure and to discharge the flow of compressed air at the system pressure. The actuator is operable in response to pressure feedback in the customer service line to move the orifice to the restricted position.
