  • Patent number: 6733258
    Abstract: A discharge pulsation reducing cooler B is provided to cover the circumferential periphery of a compressor A. The discharge pulsation reducing cooler B has a delivery passage 41 and a jacket 43 covering that, and cooling water is circulated through a passage formed between the delivery passage 41 and the jacket 43. Delivered air flowing through the delivery passage 41 is cooled by the cooling water. In particular, because heat exchange efficiency is promoted by turbulence caused by the pulsation in the delivery passage 41, the delivered air is cooled efficiently. Also, pulsation is reduced in first and second expansion chambers 44, 45 in the delivery passage 41, and pulsation noise in the delivery passage 41 is reduced by the cooling water passage 42 and the jacket 43.

  • Patent number: 6663366
    Abstract: A compressor is composed of a pair of rotors engaging with each other and a driving mechanism having plural gears for driving the pair of rotors. The pair of rotors is disposed in a rotor chamber and the driving mechanism in a gear chamber, both chambers being separated by a separating wall. Fluid such as air is introduced into the rotor chamber from an inlet port and compressed therein, and the compressed air is delivered through an outlet port formed at a position close to the driving mechanism. A cooling water passage is formed at a bottom portion of the gear housing to cool lubricant encapsulated in a gear chamber. Additional cooling water passages may be made to further cool the components of the compressor.

  • Patent number: 6585503
    Abstract: Pulsation, vibration and noise of a screw compressor is caused by compressed air abruptly discharging through a discharge port in a rotor chamber during rotation of a pair of rotors. The inside opening shape of the discharge port is within two tip curved lines drawn by the pair of rotors and coincides with the two tip curved lines at least at one point when fluid starts to discharge. In one embodiment, the inside opening shape is triangular with a vertex at a point of intersection of the two tip curved lines and a base side along the discharge end face of the rotor chamber. With this, when the air compressed in the compression chamber discharges from the discharge port, the discharge opening area of the discharge port smoothly increases. This reduces the pulsation of the discharged air and thus reduces the vibration and noise of the screw compressor.
