The current compressor oil dispensing method used by railway maintenance is manual and
inefficient. The existing process has a high risk of spillage. This study, Development of
Automatic Mobile Oil Dispensing with Monitoring for Train Compressor aims to help
railway personnel to have a convenient process of dispensing oil to train compressors,
thereby reducing if not eliminating spillage of oil that may cause work accidents. The
developed machine has the following sections: body or chassis, monitoring and dispensing.
It was fabricated from steel sheets, angle bars and caster wheel for mobility. A 12V battery
to power all the components full sinewave inverter to convert DC to AC power. The nozzle
that uses a multi-purpose hose that enables the oil to flow through to the train compressor.
The diaphragm pumps the motor used to pump the oil up to the train compressor. The
prototype was evaluated by 30 different respondents from the railway industry personnel
of LRT Line 2 and students from the Technological University of the Philippines. The
prototype achieved a numerical rating of 4.87 with a descriptive rating of excellent. The
developed research project is fully functional. The findings confirmed that the automatic
mobile oil dispensing with monitoring for the train compressor met its design, safety,
durability, economical, safe, and convenient.
