  • Compressor or vacuum pump device, a liquid return system for such a compressor or vacuum pump device and a method for draining liquid from a gearbox of such a compressor or vacuum pump device
    Patent number: 11767847
    Abstract: A liquid-injected compressor or vacuum pump device with a liquid-injected compressor or vacuum pump element (2), which includes a liquid return system (7), a motor (4) to drive the compressor or vacuum pumping element (2), a gearbox (3) provided between the motor (4) and the liquid-injected compressor or vacuum pump element (2), and a liquid separator vessel (5) in fluid connection with an outlet (6) of the compressor or vacuum pump element (2). The liquid return system (7) includes a main body (8) with a chamber in which a first compressed gas flow (11) from the liquid separator vessel (5) and a second fluid flow (15) from the gearbox (3) are mixed together to form a third fluid flow (20). The third fluid flow (20) leaves the chamber via an outlet (16) and is directed into the liquid-injected compressor or vacuum pump element (2) via the injection point (17).
