Section 2

DESCRIPTION

flow has three basic functions:

1. As coolant, it controls the rise of air temperature

normally associated with the heat of compres-

sion.

2. It seals the leakage paths between the rotors and

the stator and also between the rotors them-

selves.

3. It acts as a lubricating film between the rotors

allowing one rotor to directly drive the other,

which is an idler.

After the air/fluid mixture is discharged from the

compressor unit, the fluid is separated from the air.

At this time, the air flows to the service line and the

fluid is cooled in preparation for injection.
