(4) Compressor lubrication
• The lubrication system is comprised of a
hollow shaft, an oil scraper mounted at the
bottom end of a shaft journal (shaft bearing),
and the lubrication groove for the shaft journal.
The lubrication groove is wider than the oil
orifice. When the shaft turns, oil is scraped
upward by the oil scraper along the inside
diameter of the hollow shaft. The oil is fed
through the oil orifice by centrifugal force, then
supplied to the lubrication groove for each
shaft journal, lubricating the bearing. In this
lubrication system, oil enters into each bearing
separately and returns to the oil reservoir. This
system effectively prevents bearing
temperature increases, and offers high
reliability. In addition, the specially treated
shaft journal keeps the bearing from being damaged during high temperature operation.
4.3 Condenser
• The condenser is a heat exchanger with
copper tubes that are covered with thin
aluminum projections called plate fins.
• Heat is given off and absorbed by air being
pulled across the condenser fins by the
centrifugal fan, and then expelled through the
exhaust air duct.
