Abstract

An oil level regulator (46) is provided for controlling the oil level in the crankcase (19) of one or more refrigeration compressors (12) or the like. The regulator (46) has a closed chamber (58) for controlling the oil. A float controlled switch (82) is operable to actuate a solenoid valve (68) for introducing liquid into the chamber (58) as necessary to maintain the oil level in the chamber of the compressor (12).
