Gas and Oil Flow

The compression process of the screw compressor is
as described in the preceding paragraphs.
Gas of the compound 2-stage screw compressor
2016**C is sent from the evaporator, and passes
through the strainer and check valve. It is drawn in
from the upper central area (1) of the compressor,
compressed at the lower side near the driving shaft (2),
and then discharged at (3).
(3) and (4) are connected with a pipe.
At the mid point of the pipe, that gas is mixed with
the gas from liquid cooler which was used for supercooling.
Lubricant injected at the low-stage is, while kept mixed
with gas, suctioned from (4) into the high-stage.
After being compressed at (5), the lubricant is discharged
from (6), and is sent from the oil separator to the condenser.
Even if without intermediate gas cooling, oil provides cooling effect.
So, the high-stage discharge temperature is maintained at a temperature not higher than 90°C.
 Oil Supply Mechanism
As shown in Figure 2-16, lubricant is split into five flows. After completing each role, the oil is mixed with
discharge gas and leaves the compressor. In standard configuration, oil injection is not performed at
the high-stage.
