  • Patent number: 7540171
    Abstract: Cryogenic liquefying/refrigerating method and system, wherein temperature of gas-to-be-liquefied at the inlet of the compressor for compressing the gas is reduced by cooling the gas discharged from the compressor using a high-efficiency chemical refrigerating machine and vapor compression refrigerating machine before the gas is introduced to a multiple stage heat exchanger thereby reducing power input to the compressor and improving liquefying/refrigerating efficiency.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7347301
    Abstract: An oil refrigeration screw compressor being applied to a refrigeration system etc., in which the problem of strength reduction of a bearing material under high temperatures and that of lifetime reduction of the bearing material due to viscosity lowering of lubricant are solved. A lubricant supply system to a compressor body is divided into a bearing oil supply system for supplying lubricant to each bearing of the compressor body at low pressure and into a temperature control oil supply system for supplying lubricant into the compressor body at high pressure. The bearing oil supply system is a closed circuit oil supply system comprising an oil supply tank, an oil cooler, and an oil supply pump, and the temperature control oil supply system is a closed circuit oil supply system comprising an oil separator and an oil cooler.

  • Patent number: 6325382
    Abstract: A static pressure non-contact type mechanical seal that exhibits and maintains a high sealing function or performance for a prolonged period even when sealing gases containing foreign matter such as oil. A labyrinth seal (7) comprising a plurality of annular grooves (71) and annular plates (72) extending into the grooves is provided, the labyrinth seal partitioning a region C on the outside diameter side of the seal faces (31, 41) in the seal case (2) from the inside region A of a gas treatment machine (1). The seal case is provided with a return passage (8) communicating with the bottom portions of the annular grooves 71 and opening into the inside region A of the machine. The seal case also includes a purge gas feed passage for supplying purge gas to the region C on the outside diameter side of the seal faces, the purge gas pressure being higher than that in the inside region.
