  • Patent number: 6729858
    Abstract: A system for cooling a turbo compressor includes two compressing parts on opposite ends of a rotational shaft driven by a motor. Fluid from a fluid chamber within the casing of the device is supplied to a bearing chamber when the temperature of the bearing chamber increases. A supply passage is formed in a first support where the radial bearing for supporting a load in the axial direction is formed. The open-and-shut valve supplies fluid when the temperature of the bearing chamber increases.

  • Publication number: 20030059315
    Abstract: A turbo compressor includes: a casing having a fluid chamber for receiving a fluid from an external source; a driving unit disposed in the casing and generating a rotational force; a first compressing part installed at one side of a rotational shaft rotated according to the driving of the driving unit and first compressing the fluid; a second compressing part installed at the other side of the rotational shaft and secondly compressing the fluid compressed in the first compressing part; and a bearing cooling unit for supplying a fluid of the fluid chamber to a bearing chamber to perform a cooling operation when a temperature of the bearing chamber where the thrust bearing for supporting a load working in an axial direction of the rotational shaft is mounted is increased, and cutting off the fluid from being introduced into the bearing chamber when the temperature of the bearing chamber is maintained at a proper level.
