  • Patent number: 7481634
    Abstract: A volumetric compressor comprising: a casing provided with a suction chamber and a delivery chamber, between which a pair of screw rotors is included; a pan containing oil, and a delivery adjustment unit equipped with a slide valve, cooperating with the rotors and with a fluid-operated actuator, in which it is possible to identify an active chamber with a sliding piston connected to the slide valve. The adjustment unit comprises a flow switching unit, that connects the active chamber of the actuator to the pan and to the suction chamber and comprises a static flow switch removably associated with a switching solenoid valve electrically connected to a control unit. The switching solenoid valve is suited to be associated, alternatively, with different static flow switches that make it possible to obtain deliveries of compressed fluid varying discretely or continuously, depending on the position of the slide valve with respect to the rotors.

  • Publication number: 20070269325
    Abstract: A volumetric compressor of the type comprising a pair of rotors cooperating with each other and housed inside a compressor body, in which it is possible to identify a first flange, arranged on the suction side of the compressor body, and a second flange, arranged on the delivery side of the compressor body, suited to couplingly house a suction head and a delivery head of the volumetric compressor, wherein the suction head is provided with a first counterflange, suited to be connected to the first flange, and comprises a coupling element for connection to a suction pipe, or a coupling element for connection to a suction pipe in combination with a motor unit, and the delivery head is provided with a second counterflange, suited to be connected to the second flange, and comprises a coupling element for connection to a delivery pipe, or a coupling element for connection to a delivery pipe in combination with an oil separator.
