Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a separator device of a compressor for the deposition of a fluid, in particular a lubricant from a coolant fluid of the compressor, including a separator cylinder having an inlet region for the coolant fluid and an outlet region for the deposited fluid spaced apart from inlet in an axial direction of the cylinder, and a separation tube configured and arranged coaxially in the separator cylinder. The separation tube extends at least over the inlet region of the separator cylinder such that the separation tube is spaced apart from the separator cylinder in a radial direction in the inlet region. A spring-loaded closure is configured and arranged in the inlet region to automatically regulate a flow velocity of a volume flow of the coolant fluid flowing through the inlet as a function of a pressure at the inlet.
1-11. (canceled)
A separator device for deposition of a lubricant from a coolant fluid comprising:
The separator device according to claim 10 wherein the spring-loaded closure changes an effective passage cross-section of the at least one inlet as a function of an inlet pressure prevailing at the at least one inlet.
The separator device according to claim 11 wherein the radius of curvature of the leaf spring is variable.
The separator device according to claim 10 wherein the radius of curvature of the leaf spring is variable.
The separator device according to claim 10 wherein the at least one inlet further comprises a guide channel extending at least in sections in a direction deviating from the radial direction, so that the volume flow flows into the separator cylinder substantially in a tangential direction.
The separator device according to claim 11 wherein the at least one inlet further comprises a guide channel extending at least in sections in a direction deviating from the radial direction, so that the volume flow flows into the separator cylinder substantially in a tangential direction.
The separator device according to claim 10, wherein the at least one inlet includes a plurality of inlets configured and arranged circumferentially around the separator cylinder.
The separator device according to claim 11, wherein the at least one inlet includes a plurality of inlets configured and arranged circumferentially around the separator cylinder.
A compressor comprising:
The separator device according to claim 10, wherein the separator device is configured and arranged as a separate unit detachably connected to a housing of a compressor.
The separator device according to claim 11, wherein the separator device is configured and arranged as a separate unit detachably connected to a housing of a compressor.
