  • Patent number: 11473582
    Abstract: A package-type compressor includes a body unit, a controller, a casing, a first cooling air inlet, a second cooling air inlet, a cooling air outlet, a fan duct, a cooling fan, an air cooling type heat exchanger, a machine chamber, and a cooling duct. The cooling duct is provided below the fan duct, the cooling duct causing the cooling air taken in at the second cooling air inlet to flow along the controller toward the suction port of the fan duct.

  • Patent number: 11149734
    Abstract: Provided is a fluid machine configured such that liquid supplied to a working chamber from the outside of the fluid machine is dispersed extensively in the working chamber. This fluid machine is constituted of a screw rotor and a casing for accommodating the screw rotor and is provided with a liquid supply section for supplying liquid into a working chamber from the outside. The liquid supply section is configured so that liquid is dispersed in the longitudinal direction of the tooth groove of the screw rotor rather than in the width direction thereof.

  • Patent number: 10907636
    Abstract: Provided is a package-type compressor that can improve cooling performance for cooling a body unit and a control panel. The package-type compressor includes: a cooling fan accommodated in a fan duct to induce a flow of cooling air taken in through inlets and discharged through an outlet; a machine chamber that causes the cooling air taken in at the inlet to flow along a body unit; and a cooling duct that causes the cooling air taken in at the inlet to flow along the control panel. A center position of the suction port of the fan duct is offset away from the inlet and toward the inlet with respect to a center position of a drive shaft of a motor of the body unit.

  • Publication number: 20190331115
    Abstract: A screw compressor that enhances performance of a compressor main unit and a motor is provided. The screw compressor includes an oil-injected compressor main unit that compresses air with injecting oil in a compression chamber and an axial-gap motor that drives the compressor main unit. A male rotor of the compressor main unit has a suction-side shaft portion connected coaxially with a rotor shaft of the motor. The screw compressor further includes a suction-side bearing that rotatably supports the suction-side shaft portion of the male rotor. The suction-side bearing restricts axial movement of the suction-side shaft portion and bears a radial load and axial loads in both directions.
