Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an oil-cooled air compressor from being damaged due to a decrease in the oil accumulated in the inside of an oil separator, also easily supplement the oil in the oil separator. SOLUTION: An oil level detector 30 detecting an oil level 0L of oil O, accumulated in the inside of an oil separator 6, is provided. When the oil level 0L is lowered down to a preset oil level, an alarm is generated by an alarm means 44, when a time of operation thereafter leads to a preset time, operation of an air compressor 1 is automatically stopped by a compressor stop means 43.
