  • the ducts I64 provide the sole downflow or reverse flow passage for the gas and entrained or separated oil. It is to be further noted that as result of the spiral movement and impingement of the gas and entrained oil against the inside wall of the end cover 48, oil accumulates on that cover and travels down the sides where it collects adjacent the upper end 166 of the outlet casing. It drains vertically down the walls of ducts I64 along with the gas flow to the bottom thereof.

At this point, most of the remaining oil separates from the compressor discharge gas and contacts the inner wall I76 as the discharge circumferentially sweeps the wall and the oil flows downward towards the bottom of the outer enclosure 10 where it is collected.
  • the oil is maintained at a level which is preferably higher than that of the top of the inlet tube I30 leading to the compressor for the purposes previously described.
  • the ducts are shown as being adjacent the inner and outer periphery of the rotor and stator re spectively, but may be internal thereof depending upon the configuration and structure of the motor components.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a modified embodiment of the present invention wherein, instead of employing gas discharge nozzles as at 172, the openings 170 within outlet housing 38 at the bottom of ducts I64 are inclined or canted from the radial so as to extend generally nearly tangentially to stator 52, thus directly discharging gas in essentially a tangential flow path into chamber 72 as evidenced by arrows I78.

  • the gas and entrained oil or separated oil which accumulates on the motor end cover 48 and flows by gravity and moved by gas flow downwardly along the inner surface of that member, to accumulate along the edge I66 of the outlet housing 38, moves downwardly through the ducts 164 and passes into a chamber 72 through the openings I or 170.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates schematically the oil and gas flow paths which are sometimes separate and sometimes in unison. In fact, it is the discharge gas which carries a large percentage of the oil flow through the various passages within the outlet housing for discharge into chamber 72.
  • the gas or working fluid enters the compressor by way of inlet tube 130 as indicated by the dotted line arrow, fills the working spaces defined by the intermeshed screws and by way of the closed thread or chamber is discharged at compressor discharge passage 68 from the intermeshed male and female screws 76 and 126.
  • the passage 68 extends through end wall 42 and the high pressure discharge gas carrying some entrained oil enters chamber 70 of the outlet housing 36.
  • oil 94 within the bottom of the lower enclosure section I4 which acts as an oil sump, enters the pump inlet 98, is discharged from the pump through outlet 99 and enters chambers 100 and I10 where the oil is distributed through the hollow shafts 76 and 114 to the rotary helical screws 76 and 126 and to the various bearings of the motor and the screw compressor.
  • the oil flow as indicated by full line arrows ultimately enters the high pressure outlet housing chamber 70, where it is mixed with the compressor discharge identified by the dotted line arrows.
  • only a single vertical upflow duct is shown. In this case, it constitutes the gap 156 between the motor rotor 56 and the stator 52.
  • oil separation which is one function of the oil management arrangement of the present invention, is accomplished subsequent to the oil and gas mixture being discharged from the compressor discharge passage 68 and any other oil which it may pick up as it flows vertically upwards within chamber 70, by way of the rotor ducts 150, the rotor/stator air gap 156, and the ducts 158 which lie at the outside of the motor stator.
  • the illustrated ducts are formed within the casing. However, the ducts may in fact be formed within the stator itself.
  • the hermetic screw compressor of the present invention is designed to effectively reduce noise by means of the heavy, high pressure outer enclosure 10. Sound deadening may be improved by lining soft sheet metal randomly attached by spot welding or the like to the inside of the shell enclosure 10.
  • the gas flow path also functions to provide a muffler effect as it passes through the compressor and motor sections and since the volume of the chamber 72 formed between the inner housing and the outer enclosure is quite large with respect to the chamber volume of chamber 70. There is little discharge line pulsation and its attendant noise.
  • the shell enclosure With offset welded portions permits the shell or outer enclosure to be readily cut open and re-assembled and repairs to be made. Since the compressor suction tube 130 lies beneath the level of the accumulated oil 94, it may be lightly press fitted into the hole within the compressor inlet housing 40 since a leak at this joint permits, due to the high pressure within the chamber 72, oil to leak into the suc 10 tion gas which is not detrimental and in fact may be beneficial to the system.
  • the chamber 72 defined by the outer enclosure 10 is at discharge pressure and temperature, this enclo sure loses heat to ambient instead of picking it up as occurs in conventional air conditioning compressor enclosures and which would result in some improvement in system performance.
  • the Compressor comprises a helical screw compressor, it is not necessary to have the enclosure 10 at suction pressure acting as a suction accumulator and housing other devices to protect the compressor from damage due to liquid slugging as is the case with reciprocating compressors.
  • outer enclosure [0 eliminates the need for individual or separate oil sump separator, eliminates the need for a sound muffler or a separate heat exchanger, and lessens the size, weight and cost of the hermetic unit.
  • A-hermetic rotary helical screw compressor comprising:
  • said inner housing including an upper compressor discharge housing fluid sealed from and overlying a lower compressor inlet housing, said upper compressor discharge housing forming a second chamber, and
  • said lower compressor inlet housing forming a third chamber sealed from said first and second chambers
  • an electric drive motor coaxially supported within said upper compressor discharge housing above said compressor discharge passage, and including a fixed stator and a concentric rotor rotatably positioned within the same,
  • a first axial fluid passage means within said motor for passing compressed working fluid and entrained oil ll axially upward to cool the motor and for impingement against the upper end of compressor discharge housing
  • said first axial passage means comprises ducts formed within said rotor extending upwardly from one end face to the other such that rotation of said rotor provides a swirling action to the compressed gas and the entrained oil such that some separation of oil from the gas occurs centrifugally by contact of the gas with the upper end of the compressor discharge housing.
  • said hermetic rotary helical screw compressor as claimed in claim 2. wherein: said second axial passage means comprises ducts at least partially defined by said stator and extending downwardly from the upper end face of the stator but terminating short of the lower end face thereof.
  • said first fluid passage means further comprises the annular air gap between the concentrically positioned rotor and stator.
  • said first fluid passage means further comprises the annular air gap between the concentrically positioned rotor and stator.
  • said radial passage means comprise a plurality of circumferentially spaced radial openings within said upper compressor discharge hous- 12 ing. intersecting said circumferentially spaced axial ducts within said stator.
  • said radial passage means comprise a plurality of circumferentially spaced radial openings within said upper compressor discharge hous ing. intersecting said circumferentially spaced axial duets within said stator.
  • said radial passage means comprise a plurality of nozzles fluid coupled to the discharge sides of said radial opening within said compressor outlet housing with the discharge end of said nozzle opening into said first chamber so as to discharge compressed working fluid and entrained oil in a direction corresponding to the direction of rotation of said motor rotor.
  • said discharge gas nozzles comprise short elbow tubes having right angle portions including a first radial portion coaxial with the radial openings within the upper compressor discharge housing and secured to the outside of said housing in axial alignment with said openings. and a second circumferential portion which extends generally tangential to the inner periphery of said upper compressor discharge housing and spaced therefrom.
  • said outer enclosure consists'of upper and lower partially nested enclosure sections which are welded circumferentially at their exterior juncture line to permit ready separation of the enclosure sections and access to the interior of the hermetic screw compressor.
