Dry and clean air at a minimum rate of 16 cu.ft./min. and 120
psi is required to operate the system. There are various
types of compressors. Generally, an engine mounted
compressor offers a more compact installation as compared to
the belt driven arrangement. A compressor/motor combination
which sometime has to be used are available. The major types
of compressors used by Gyro-Gale are:
Generally, these compressors are directly mounted on the main
engine(s) and are lubricated and water cooled from the
engine systems. Some vessels are already equipped with one
compressor to operate the windshield wiper or the air horn.
In this case an additional compressor is added to provide the
necessary amount of air required to operate the stabilizer.
A heat exchanger and an air dryer are used with the
compressor to obtain the proper quality of air. The
compressors have a free loading valve ( pneumatic clutch ) if
there is no demand for air. Electrical clutches are also
available.
