Patent number: 9732751Abstract: In a water-supply line for performing water-supply to the rotors and the mechanical seal of a compressor, or in a condensed-water collection line for collecting condensed water of a dryer into the inlet port of the compressor, a water reservoir is provided at a position higher than the water-supply unit of the compressor. Moreover, there are provided a start-time water-supply line and a solenoid valve set up therein. Here, the start-time water-supply line establishes the connection between the lower portion of the water reservoir, and the inlet port of the compressor and the water-supply unit of the mechanical seal.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2014Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fumio Takeda, Masayuki Kasahara, Takehiro Matsuzaka, Tsutomu Nozaki, Hideharu Tanaka
