Abstract: A compressor system for creating essentially liquid-free fluid flows includes a screw compressor that has an inlet port for receiving a low pressure gas stream, a main lubrication injection port for receiving an injection branch of a filtered lubrication stream, an inlet bearing lubrication port for receiving an inlet branch of the filtered lubrication stream, a discharge bearing and seal lubrication port for receiving a discharge branch of the filtered lubrication stream, a prime mover for powering the rotary screw compressor and a discharge port for discharging a high pressure compressed gas mixture stream from the compressor. The system further includes a separator for receiving the compressed gas mixture stream from the compressor. The separator has at least a primary and a secondary coalescer devices connected in series, such that the primary coalescer device has a smaller surface area than the secondary coalescer device.
Abstract: A control apparatus, for measuring pressure in relation to a rotary screw compressor with capacity control means and a prime mover, including a pressure sensor to monitor the prime mover manifold pressure, and a series of relays which when tripped by the pressure sensor will engage a pressure mechanism to engage the capacity control means on the compressor. The pressure mechanism may be a hydraulic or a pneumatic pressure mechanism and the apparatus may further include a second pressure sensor to monitor the inlet gas pressure to the compressor and a third pressure sensor to monitor discharge pressure of the gas compressor.
