Claim 12:
13. The lube oil system of claim 12, wherein the control system comprises:
an outlet flowline coupled to the cylinder lubricator oil reservoir and to the crankcase of the reciprocating compressor; and
an outlet valve coupled to the cylinder lubricator oil reservoir and to the outlet flowline, wherein the float controller is communicatively coupled to the outlet valve, wherein the float controller is configured to compare the liquid level in the cylinder lubricator oil reservoir measured by the level sensor with a specified high liquid level, wherein the float controller is configured to open the outlet valve in response to determining that the liquid level in the cylinder lubricator oil reservoir measured by the level sensor is greater than or equal to the specified high liquid level, thereby allowing the first lube oil, the second lube oil, or both to flow out of the cylinder lubricator oil reservoir through the outlet flowline, via the outlet valve that has opened, to the crankcase of the reciprocating compressor.
