Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a screw compressor for gaseous refrigerants primarily, comprising a compressor housing, which housing comprises a male and a female screw rotor arranged in screw rotor bores in the compressor housing, which male and female rotors are co-rotatingly driveable and interact to compress the refrigerant, which compressor comprises at least one oil inlet, from which oil inlet oil is distributed to lubricate mechanical parts in conjunction with the compressor.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for lubricating a screw compressor, which screw compressor is used for gaseous refrigerants primarily, and which screw compressor comprises a compressor housing, which housing comprises male and female rotors which are co-rotatingly drivable and interact to compress the refrigerant, where pressurized oil is supplied to an oil inlet, from which oil inlet oil is distributed to lubricate mechanical parts in conjunction with the compressor.
  • US 6,409,490 describes a screw compressor, which screw compressor comprises guide bushings mounted within bores for the bearings to support the compressor rotor shafts.
  • First bushings are provided at an inlet casing of the compressor and provide guidance for a slide stop, and second bushings are provided in an outlet casing of the compressor to provide guidance for a slide valve.
  • the bushings are also mounted to the inlet and outlet casings to provide centring of two sections of the compressor rotor housing.
  • An unpublished Danish patent application PA 2005 01757 relates to a screw compressor and a method for operating the compressor for gaseous refrigerants primarily, which screw compressor comprises a compressor housing having a male and a female screw rotor arranged in screw rotor bores, where the male and female rotor are co- rotatingly drivable and interact to compress the refrigerant, and where the screw com- pressor comprises at least one slider, which slider is movable in relation to the male and the female rotor, and where movement of the slider controls the internal volume ratio of the screw compressor.
  • a compressor as described in the preamble of claim one where the compressor is modified such that the compressor housing is connected to a bearing housing, where rotor endplates comprise cutouts for discharge ports, which endplates are placed between the screw rotors and the bearing housing, where oil at least at a first high pressure is distributed in integrated channels formed in the compressor components and where the longitudinal oil channels are formed in the compressor housing along the screw rotors, and where oil channels mostly parallel to the rotational axes of the screw rotors can be formed at least in the bearing housing and in the rotor endplates.
  • oil channels can be formed internally in the rotor endplate, which endplates can comprise perimetrical channels to form a great part of the oil distribution system. This way most of the mechanical tooling has to take place inside the endplate. Only a small number of channels have to be formed in the compressor housing and in the bearing housing. However, especially in an area between the bearing housing and the endplates some channels can be formed to distribute oil to the front end of the compressor.
  • longitudinal oil channels can be formed in the compressor housing along the screw rotors, where oil channels mostly being perpendicular to the rotational axes of the screw rotors can be formed at least in the bearing housing and in the rotor endplates.
  • longitudinal oil channels are formed in longitudinal components such as the compressor housing.
  • every cross-over channel, which is mostly perpendicular to the longitudinal channel, is as such formed in the rotor endplates mostly as circular channels or as channels in the bearing housing. This results in perfect oil distribution, which is integrated in the compressor components.
  • the bearing housing comprises a first integrated oil channel leading towards a shaft seal, from which shaft seal oil returns through a second channel inte- grated in the bearing housing, which second channel is connected to a first channel in a first endplate, which first endplate comprises an integrated pressure reduction valve for generating oil supply at a second pressure slightly below the discharge pressure of the compressor.
  • first endplate comprises an integrated pressure reduction valve for generating oil supply at a second pressure slightly below the discharge pressure of the compressor.
  • the oil that leaves the shaft seal flows towards an area, where the pressure is slightly lower, and which lower pressure is regulated by a pressure reduction valve, and where the pressure reduction valve ensures that the oil pressure difference across the shaft seal is controlled and always relative to the discharge pressure of the com- pressor.
  • the outlet from the integrated pressure reduction valve can be formed as a second channel in the first endplate, which second channel can be connected to a first channel in the compressor housing, from which first channel oil is injected into the rotor housing for rotor lubrication, compression sealing and heat dissipation.
  • first channel oil is injected into the rotor housing for rotor lubrication, compression sealing and heat dissipation.
  • a first pressure chamber can be formed between a rotating balance piston and the compressor housing at the suction end of the male screw rotor.
  • the balance piston is placed at the end and around the suction end of the male screw rotor shaft, where the first pressure chamber is connected through a third longitudinal oil channel in the compressor housing and further through a fourth oil channel formed in one of the end- plates towards the oil pressure supply, where the oil pressure in the first pressure chamber forces the balance piston and the male rotor towards the pressure end of the male screw rotor.
  • the oil pressure in the first pressure chamber forces the balance piston and the male rotor towards the pressure end of the male screw rotor.
  • the pressure is dependent on the compressor discharge pressure, as the oil pressure is controlled by the compressor discharge pressure. This way the thrust force on the male rotor is automatically reduced.
  • an oil film can be generated, which oil film flows along the end and around the balance piston to lubricate the male rotor bearings at the suction end of the rotors from where an oil film flows towards the bearing supporting the suction end of the female rotor.
  • the oil leaving the pressure chamber at the end of the male rotor flows further towards the bearings to lubricate the bearings at the suction end of both the male and the female rotors.
  • Oil of the second pressure can be connected to a magnetic valve through channels in the compressor housing, from where oil flows into a second pressure chamber formed behind a slider to force the slider forwards, which slider co-operates with the screw rotors and the discharge opening in the rotor endplates.
  • the oil distribution system also can be used as a hydraulic supply to operate a hydraulic slider.
  • This slider operates against the discharge pressure of the compressor, and when the oil pressure, which operates against this pressure is automatically adjusted in rela- tion to the discharge pressure, there will be achieved an efficient control of the slider simply because closing of the magnetic valve can lead to a reduction of the pressure such that the slider moves backwards and opening of the magnetic valve increases the pressure and the slider will be moved forward. It is also possible to turn the magnetic valve on and off i.e. by pulse width modulation to achieve slider adjustment into dif- ferent positions.
  • the second pressure chamber can be connected through a bleed valve towards low pressure in the housing.
  • a bleed valve towards low pressure in the housing.
  • the invention also concerns a method for lubricating a screw compressor as described in the preamble of claim 10, which method is modified such that oil is distributed in integrated channels formed at least in the compressor housing in a bearing housing and in rotor endplates.
  • the lubrication system of a screw compressor can be achieved without pipe work as all channels are integrated in the different compressor components.
  • Fig. 1 shows a sectional view of a screw compressor 2 comprising a compressor housing 4, which compressor housing 4 comprises rotor borings 6 for screw rotors 8 and 10.
  • An oil inlet is indicated by 12 in a bearing housing 14.
  • the male rotor 8 has a driving shaft 24, which driving shaft 24 co-operates with a shaft sealing 26 placed in the bearing housing 14.
  • the bearing housing 14 further comprises a roller bearing 28 and a ball bearing 30.

  • the shaft 40 of the male rotor 8 co-operates with a balance piston 48 between which balance piston 48 and the housing a pressure chamber 50 is formed.
  • a labyrinth seal 52 is formed between the male rotor 8 and end plate 18 .
  • a labyrinth seal is formed at the end plate 16 towards the female rotor 10, and at the suction end of the female rotor 10 labyrinth seal 56 is formed.
  • Between the male rotor suction ends a labyrinth seal 60 is formed.
  • the balance piston 48 also comprises a labyrinth seal 62 in the direction towards the housing.
  • oil is supplied to several different positions in the screw compressor. Oil is supplied to the shaft seal 26 and 27 at relatively high pressure assuring that the oil is forced into the bearing to make the shaft seal tight to prevent refrigerant from entering. Furthermore, oil is supplied to all the mentioned bearings 28, 30, 42 and 46. These bearing are supplied with oil through labyrinth sealings 52, 54, 56 and 60. This assures that only a relatively small amount of oil flows through the bearings.
