• a gas typically air
• volumetric screw compressors with lubricating fluid (oil) injection offer several advantages such as, for example, high efficiency and reliability, sturdiness, limited overall dimensions etc..
• Said compressors typically comprise a casing that defines a compression chamber and is provided with two suction ducts, one for the air or gas and the other for the lubricating oil or fluid, as well as with a delivery (outlet) duct for the compressed air-oil mixture.
• Inside the compression chamber there are two helical rotors, a male rotor (generally the driving rotor) and a female rotor (generally the driven rotor), meshing with each other.
• the compression of the air-oil mixture takes place in the volume included between the teeth of the two rotors and the casing, in particular between the contact area between the two rotors and the outlet duct.
• the contact cross section included between the outline of the male rotor and that of the female rotor is displaced, in particular it moves towards the delivery duct. In this way, the air-oil mixture included between the contact cross section and the delivery duct is compressed.
• the air-oil mixture flowing out of the compression chamber is then subjected to a treatment intended to separate the oil from the compressed mixture.
• the oil that has been removed from the compressed mixture is then re-introduced in the compression chamber and furthermore, through suitable channels, it can be used to lubricate the bearings or other moving members, for example the mechanical transmission members that transmit the rotary motion of the driving rotor.
• the rotary motion in fact, is transmitted to the driving rotor starting from a motive power provided by a motor through a transmission system that, in particular, can be direct (if necessary with transmission coupling) or indirect (driving belt or gearcase).
• a transmission system that, in particular, can be direct (if necessary with transmission coupling) or indirect (driving belt or gearcase).
• the transmission ratio between the motor and the compressor is 1.
• the transmission ratio is multiplied or demultiplied.
• Figure 1 schematically shows the operating principle of a screw compressor 1 with lubricating fluid injection according to the known art.
• the compressor 1 substantially carries out a compression treatment on an incoming gas flow Fi, typically an air flow, with a compression and/or lubricating fluid, typically oil, in order to obtain a compressed gas flow Fu directed towards the outside.

• the screw compressor 1 with oil injection is a machine of the rotary volumetric type. It comprises a compression chamber 2 inside which the gas and the compression fluid are compressed.
• the compressor 1 comprises a suction valve 3 suited to draw the gas (typically air) and provided with an apposite suction filter 4 for conveying the air into the compression chamber 2.
• the compressor 1 furthermore comprises an oil supply inlet 5 for conveying the oil into the compression chamber 2.
• Power means 6 allow the activation and/or movement (in particular, the rotation) of the real compression means housed inside the compression chamber 2.
• the compressor 1 comprises also a separation portion (or tank) 7 arranged downstream of the compression chamber 2, in which the compressed oil/air mixture is conveyed through a delivery duct or channel (hereinafter also simply referred to as outlet) so that it can be separated and so as to obtain the outflow of compressed air 8 on one side and oil 9 on the other side.
• the separated oil 9 is recovered so that it can be re-introduced in the compression chamber 2 through said supply inlet 5.
• the reintroduction of said oil 9 in the compression chamber 2 is conditioned on its previous passage through a thermostatic valve 10, which allows the oil 9 to flow through it and towards the supply inlet 5 only if its temperature is lower than a pre-established limit temperature.
• a thermostatic valve 10 allows the passage of oil only if its temperature is below the pre-established limit, while if the oil temperature exceeds the pre-established limit the same is conveyed into an oil cooler 1 1 that lowers its temperature before it is re-introduced in the recirculation circuit.
• a filter 12 for the elimination of any impurities is preferably positioned upstream of the oil supply inlet 5.
• the separated compressed air 8 is first conveyed to an oil removal filter 13 that separates any oil residues that are present in the compressed air.
• the residual oil recovered in this way is thus re-introduced in the compression chamber 2, in particular along a further circuit for the reintroduction of the recovered oil, along which a display 14 for monitoring oil recovery is preferably positioned.
• the purified compressed air flows through a minimum pressure valve 15. Said valve 15 allows the air to flow through it only once the pre-established rated pressure has been reached.
• the air flowing out of the minimum pressure valve 15 is preferably conveyed towards a cooler 16 where it is cooled.
• the cooled air is then conveyed to a usage tank 17, or as an alternative directly to the system with which it is associated.
• Part of the purified compressed air flowing out of the oil removal filter 13 is conveyed to the suction valve 3 through an apposite channel 58.
• the air conveyed through said channel 58 represents the feedback signal that signals to the suction valve 3 when the air passage needs to be closed or opened. In particular, if the air pressure in said channel 58 is lower than the pre-established rated pressure of the compressor 1 , the suction valve 3 is opened.
• the compression chamber is substantially tight sealed and one of its bottom sides is provided with a through hole for the through insertion of an end of the driving rotor.
