On three phase equipment, the rotation of the pump can be reversed to see if it eliminates the problem. If the compressor is leaking oil pressure internally, there is usually some net oil pressure. Internal oil leaks can be a result of excessive wear on bearings and load surfaces associated with the crank shaft.
Send message »· Since initial start up, the factory oil pressure gauge has shown good oil pressure. However, since I intsalled a mechanical oil pressure gauge a strange thing happens.
