  • Patent number: 6599101
    Abstract: To provide a gas compressor that is suitable for reducing cost for the overall compressor without degrading the oil separation performance needed for the compressor and that may keep the oil separation performance constant for a long period of time. An oil separator having a pipe structure composed only of a discharge pipe formed integrally with a side block as a means for separating a lubricant oil component contained in high pressure cooling medium gas is adapted. In this case, the discharge pipe is adapted to form a discharge route for the high pressure cooling medium gas without any bypass immediately before an inner wall of a compressor case from a first discharge chamber. The separation of the lubricant oil component is performed by collision of the high pressure cooling medium gas, immediately after discharged from a cylinder discharge port to the first discharge chamber, against the inner wall of the compressor case through the discharge pipe without reducing a high flow rate.

  • Patent number: 5954482
    Abstract: A gas compressor has a first chamber for receiving a low pressure refrigerant gas. A main body has a second chamber for drawing in the low pressure refrigerant gas from the first chamber and undergoing a compression operation to compress the low pressure refrigerant gas into a high pressure refrigerant gas. A third chamber receives the high pressure refrigerant gas from the second chamber. A fourth chamber receives a lubricating oil and is subjected to the pressure of the high pressure refrigerant gas from the third chamber. An oil passage has an inlet port opening into the fourth chamber and an outlet port opening into the main body. The lubricating oil from the fourth chamber is supplied to the main body through the oil passage due to a pressure difference between the third chamber and one of the first chamber and the second chamber.
