  • the present invention relates to a cooling system for use in a compressor system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a refrigeration system configured to cool components of a compressor system.
  • Compressor assemblies typically include a compressor that is driven by a drive member to create a flow of compressed fluid.
  • the process of creating the flow of compressed fluid can produce a considerable amount of heat.
  • the flow of compressed fluid exits the compressor at a high temperature. Therefore, the flow of compressed fluid is cooled before it is utilized.
  • the heat generated by the compression process also raises the temperature of a fluid, such as oil, utilized by the compressor for lubricating, sealing and cooling.
  • other components of the compressor system such as, the drive member, a variable frequency drive, and a control system can in some circumstances create undesirable amounts of heat that can damage these components or shorten their operating lives.
  • the invention provides a compressor system that includes a compressor that is operable to produce a flow of compressed fluid and a refrigeration system that includes an evaporator.
  • the evaporator passes a flow of refrigerant therethrough and is operable to cool the flow of compressed fluid.
  • the compressor system also includes a drive member that is coupled to the compressor and is operable to drive the compressor.
  • a cooling passage extends from a point downstream of the evaporator to a point upstream of the compressor and at least a portion of the cooling passage is in thermal exchange relationship with the drive member.
  • the invention provides a method of operating a fluid compression system that includes coupling a compressor to a drive member and operating the drive member to produce a corresponding operation of the compressor to produce a flow of compressed fluid.
  • the method also includes passing a flow of refrigerant through an evaporator to cool the flow of compressed fluid and passing the flow of refrigerant from the evaporator into a return line. A portion of the flow of refrigerant is diverted from the return line to the drive member to cool the drive member.
  • the invention provides a fluid compression system that includes a plurality of compressors operable to provide a flow of compressed fluid and a plurality of drive members. Each drive member is associated with one of the compressors and is operable to drive the compressor.
  • the system also includes a refrigeration system that includes a refrigeration compressor, operable to compress and discharge a flow of refrigerant. The flow of refrigerant is in thermal exchange relationship with the flow of compressed fluid such that the flow of refrigerant cools the flow of compressed fluid.

  • the compressor outlet 24 is in fluid communication with the compressor 16 and the after-cooler 26 .
  • the compressor 16 also includes an oil cooler 28 and an oil passage 30 .
  • the oil passage 30 is in fluid communication with the compressor 16 and the oil cooler 28 . While the illustrated compressor 16 includes the oil cooler 28 and the after-cooler 26 , in other constructions the compressor 16 may omit one or both of the oil cooler 28 and the after-cooler 26 .
  • the compressor 16 is a single stage compressor, in other constructions, the compressor 16 can be a multi-stage compressor and can include an inter-cooler located between each stage.
  • the inter-cooler is configured to cool the air or working fluid compressed by the compressor 16 .
  • the output of the first compressor stage is directed to the inlet of the second compressor stage. This arrangement allows for a greater pressure increase, which may be necessary in some application.
  • bypassage and line should be interpreted broadly. Specifically, the terms “passage” and “line” should be interpreted to include but not limited to, conduits, channels, tubes, pipes, valves, flanges, hoses, and the like.
