Abstract: A device for controlling the oil temperature of an oil-injected compressor installation with a compressor element that is provided with a gas inlet and an outlet for compressed gas that is connected to an oil separator that is connected by an injection pipe to the compressor element. A cooler is affixed in a part of the injection pipe that can be bypassed by means of a bypass pipe. The device is also provided with an extra pipe that is intended to be connected in parallel with the bypass pipe and the cooler, and in which an energy recovery system can be connected. Additionally, the device is provided with a flow distributor through the cooler, the bypass pipe and the extra pipe, and a controller for controlling these temperature control devices at the outlet of the compressor element.

Abstract: Device for controlling the oil temperature of an oil-injected compressor installation (1) with a compressor element (2) that is provided with a gas inlet (3) and an outlet (5) for compressed gas that is connected to an oil separator (8) that is connected by means of an injection pipe (12) to the aforementioned compressor element (2), and whereby a cooler (17) is affixed in a part (19) of the injection pipe (12) that can be bypassed by means of a bypass pipe (18), characterised in that the device (20) is provided with an extra pipe (21) that is intended to be connected in parallel with the bypass pipe (18) and the cooler (17), and in which an energy recovery system (22) can be connected, and that the device (20) is provided with flow distribution means (23) through the cooler (17), the bypass pipe (18) and the extra pipe (21), and a controller (28) for controlling these temperature (Tout) control means at the aforementioned outlet (5) of the compressor element (2).
