Cooling system for reciprocating compressors and a reciprocating compressor

Abstract

Cooling system for reciprocating compressors comprising an atomizing nozzle (1) that supplies an atomized lubricating fluid inside the compressor cylinder (2), a heat exchanger (6) intended for cooling the lubricating fluid to be atomized at the nozzle (1), a fluid separator (5) for separating a mixture of cooling fluid and lubricating fluid and directing the lubricating fluid back from the system, and a blocking element (7) arranged between the atomizing nozzle (1) and the heat exchanger (6) to prevent the buildup of lubricating fluid in the cylinder. Reciprocating compressor having the cooling system as described.
