Horizontal console (no components on the
reservoir)
Please refer to Figure 7.29.9. This console arrangement is fairly
typical for a critical equipment lubrication system. Note the
positions of components affording ample space for maintenance
and equipment calibration. In addition, note the placement of
interconnecting piping, thus allowing for maximum mobility on
the console.

Reservoir integral with component
Refer to Figure 7.29.10. This arrangement is frequently used

Inc.) in restricted space locations or could be the result of an at-
tempt by the original equipment vendor to minimize cost.
Careful scrutiny of arrangement design early during the project
can avoid problems. Note from Figure 7.29.10 that even
a premium. This system should be reviewed thoroughly in the though all components are mounted on the reservoir, acces-
design phase to optimize accessibility. Note that even though sibility is maximized to components. In this case, the reservoir
space is minimal, major components can be arranged such that was mounted approximately three feet below grade, thus
accessibility is possible. allowing all components to be within easy maintenance reach.
