Abstract
Example implementations involve a gas compressor package and a cooling system for a gas compressor involving an aftercooler configured to receive heated compressed air from the gas compressor and cool the received compressed air, an oil cooler configured to receive heated oil from the gas compressor and configured to cool the received heated oil, and at least one fan unit pulling air to create an airflow through the aftercooler and the oil cooler, wherein the aftercooler is oriented at angle to a horizontal plane and angled relative to the airflow created by the at least one fan unit.
Claims15
A gas compressor package comprising:
- a gas compressor;
- a motor mechanically coupled to the gas compressor and applying torque to the motor to compress gas within the gas compressor;
- an aftercooler communicatively coupled to the gas compressor and configured to cool compressed air that has exited the gas compressor;
- an oil cooler communicatively coupled to the gas compressor and configured to cool oil that has exited the gas compressor;
- and
- at least one fan unit pulling air from outside the gas compressor package to create an airflow within the gas compressor package and pushing the airflow through the aftercooler and the oil cooler,
- wherein the aftercooler is oriented at angle to a horizontal plane of the gas compressor package and angled relative to the airflow within the gas compressor package.
A cooling system for a gas compressor, the cooling system comprising:
- an aftercooler configured to receive heated compressed air from the gas compressor and cool the received compressed air;
- an oil cooler configured to receive heated oil from the gas compressor and configured to cool the received heated oil;
- and
- at least one fan unit pulling air to create an airflow through the aftercooler and the oil cooler,
- wherein the aftercooler is oriented at angle to a horizontal plane and angled relative to the airflow created by the at least one fan unit.
