Abstract: The invention relates to a multi step helical screw compressor unit which consists of a drive housing (90), wherein a first, second, and third helical screw compressor (60, 70, 80) are secured in a protruding manner parallel to each other and are driven together by a drive toothed wheel in the drive housing. A gas-like fluid is compressed by the first helical screw compressor (60) at a first intermediate pressure of approximately 3.5 bars, by the second helical screw compressor (70) at a second intermediate pressure of approximately 12 bars and by the third helical screw compressor (80) at an end pressure of approximately 40 bars.

Abstract: A helical screw compressor includes two rotors which are mounted in the rotor housing. The helical screw compressor includes sealing arrangements (11, 11?) for sealing the pressure-sided shaft journals of the rotors. Each sealing arrangement includes a plurality of annular seals (11a, 11b) which are arranged in a row adjacent to each other, and an annular-shaped discharge chamber (51) is associated with the system on an intermediate position and is connected, via a discharge channel (53), to the chamber in the rotor housing, wherein pressure which is higher than the atmospheric pressure. Preferably, the discharge channel is connected to the suction chamber (10) of the rotor housing (1), and is impinged upon by precompressed gas from an upstream compressor step.

Abstract: A screw compressor rotor housing is surrounded by a cooling housing that forms an annular cooling chamber. The cooling chamber is interrupted at one point by a separating wall that connects the rotor housing to the cooling housing. Coolant is fed at an inlet opening and is directed at the bottom side of the separating wall by an entrance channel, is redirected, and flows around the rotor housing until it reaches the top side of the separating wall. The coolant is redirected and is withdrawn through an exit channel that runs upward to the outlet opening. A bleed opening in the wall of the entrance channel and a vent opening in the wall of the exit channel allow for a residual amount of air to remain in the cooling chamber when it is filled with coolant, and for a residual fluid to remain when it is emptied.
