  • the capacity or quantity of gas or working fluid passed through the compressor can be varied.
  • the main portion of the helical edge 96 isformed to be substantially parallel to the longitudinal sides of the ports 62 for quick opening and closing of the ports in j response to minimal rotational turning of the valve member.
  • the valve member 66 is turned to progressively uncover the ports 62 from the inletend of the bores 14 and 16 toward the high pressure or discharge end delimited by the end wall 20 the ports 64 are progressively opened also to provide additional area for gas entrapped in the grooves 32 of the gate rotor to be bypassed withminimum throttling losses back to the compressor inlet port by way of the chamber 56 and passages 58 and 60.
  • the arrangement of auxiliary ports 62 and 64 and the configuration of the valve member 66 provides for control of the capacity or gas throughput of the compressor 10 from the maximum displacement provided by the rotors 26 and 28 to substantially zero flow.
  • a compressor of the type disclosed herein and operating with liquid injected into the bores 14 and 16 has been found to have improved efficiency over prior art nonliquid injected helical screw rotor compressors with rotary type regulating valves. Such improvements are seen to be realized from a reduction in the clearance volume of the ports 62 and 64 between the respective. y
  • the control valve member 66 of the present invention is further characterized by a plurality of passages which extend radially with respect to the longitudinal turning axis of the valve member from the longitudinal passage 90 to the cylindrical surface of the plug portion 68.
  • the passages are spaced longitudinally along the valve member 66 and are also spaced apart in angular increments around the circumference of the cylindrical plug portion 68.
  • FIGS. 7 through 10 illustrate planar developments of the cylindrical chamber 56 with a planar development of the cylindrical plug portion 68 of the control valve member 66 superimposed on the chamber development to show various positions of the control edge 96.
  • the developments of FIGS. 7 through 10 also show pairs of liquid injection passages 100, 102, 104, a single passage 106, and further pairs of passages 108 and 110.
  • All of these passages are in communication with the longitudinal passage 90.
  • the pairs of passages 100, 102, 104, 108, and 110 are progressively smaller in diameter and effective flow area, and accordingly provide for progressively smaller flow rates of liquid into the bores 14 and 16 as they respectively communicate with the ports 64 on turning of the valve member 66.
  • the single passage 106 is smaller in diameter than the passages 104 but larger than the passages 108. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 through 10 most of the liquid injection passages communicate only with the ports 64 and some of the ports 62 are modified in shape to prevent unwanted registration with the liquid injection passages.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates the maximum capacity position of the control valve 66 wherein all of the ports 62 and 64 are closed. In this position one passage 100 of the largest diameter is in communication with a port 64 which assures that an adequate amount of liquid is injected into the bore 16 for cooling and sealing purposes.
  • the location of liquid injection shown by FIG. 7 is also into a chamber formed by the rotors 26 and 28 which is only slightly reduced in volume but is no longer in communication with the inlet port 48 as is true for all liquid injection positions in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 through 10.
  • the liquid injected into the compressor does not mix with the gas flowing into the grooves 32 and 40 of the rotors until after a working chamber formed by the casing bores 14 and 16 and a pair of grooves of the rotors 26 and 28 is no longer in communication with the inlet port 48. It is desirable to avoid injecting liquid into the rotor grooves which are still in communication with the inlet port in order to prevent unwanted reduction in filling of the grooves with inflowing gas. However, it is also desirable to inject liquid at a position in the bores which will assure that liquid flows into all of the ports 62 and 64 which are unopened to thereby fill up the clearance space formed by the ports.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates a position of the valve member 66 in which two of the ports 62 are open as well as one port 64.
  • This position represents a reduction in working fluid capacity of approximately 25 percent for the compressor 10. Accordingly, portions of both of the smaller passages 102 are in communication with a port 64 and are the only passages not blocked and in a no-flow condition by the close fit of the plug portion 68 in the chamber 56. Since the compressor throughput capacity is now reduced, a smaller quantity of liquid is required for adequate cooling. Moreover, excessive amounts of liquid cause unwanted pumping losses as well as overcooling of the working fluid. Overcooling of the working fluid can cause condensation of water vapor in air compressors working in ambient atmosphere. Accordingly, with the control valve 66 of the present invention the rate of liquid injection and location of injection with respect to the rotor bores 14 and 16 is automatically controlled in accordance with the rotary position of the valve member itself.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 show further reduced capacity positions of the control valve member 66.
  • the valve member In FIG. 9 the valve member is in a position in which the throughput capacity is reduced to approximately 50 percent of the maximum capacity of the compressor 10.
  • One passage 104 is in communication with a port 64 and the rate of liquid injection is further reduced from the rate of the positions of the valve member in FIGS. 7 and 8.
  • the control valve member 66 has been turned to open all of the ports 62 as well as all of ports 64 and the capacity of the compressor has been reduced to substantially zero flow.
  • One passage is in communication with a slot 112 in the casing which opens into the bore 14 whereby a still further reduced quantity of liquid is injected into the working chambers.
  • valve member 66 In the zero capacity position of the valve member 66 it is desirable to provide some lubrication for the intermeshed rotors and to cool working fluid which is disposed in the discharge port 50 and the discharge passage downstream thereof and which is unavoidably expanded and recompressed by the intermeshing rotors 26 and 28.
  • FIGS. 7 through 10 illustrate four positions of the rotary control valve member 66, including the maximum and zero capacity positions, it will be appreciated that the valve member may be turned to any position between the limit positions for controlling the working fluid capacity of the compressor 10.
  • the rate of liquid injection is also reduced as the injection passages are sequentially placed in communication with the ports 64.
  • the compressor 10 is shown in a system including a drive motor 114 which is drivably connected to the shaft 42 of the rotor 26.
  • the compressor 10 also includes an inlet filter 116 for filtering air admitted to the compressor inlet opening 46.
  • the compressor system of FIG. 2 also includes a combination compressed air receiver and liquid separator and reservoir tank 118 having a liquid separator element 120 therein and a final discharge conduit 122 for conducting liquid-free pressure air to its end use.
  • a conduit 124 connects the discharge passage 54 of the compressor 10 to the tank 118 for conducting the liquid-gas mixture from the compressor.
  • a conduit 126 is connected to tank 118 for conducting liquid through a filter 128 and to a heat exchanger 130 from which the liquid is conducted back to the compressor through conduit 92. The liquid is forced to recirculate back to the compressor 10 by the pressure differential which exists between the tank 118 and the particular injection passage which is in communication with the working chambers of the compressor.
  • the capacity of the compressor may be required to be reduced to limit the power absorbed by the compressor to what the motor can provide. This may be conveniently accomplished by adjusting the valve member 66 to reduce the compressor throughput capacity by opening the required number of ports 62 and 64. Moreover, as the valve member 66 is rotated to a new position, a progressively smaller diameter passage or pair of passages will become operable for injecting liquid into the bore 16.
  • the smaller diameter passages will limit the flow of liquid to a rate in accordance with the needs of the compressor and will prevent excessive amounts of liquid from being injected into the bore 16 through one or more of the larger passages.
  • the flow of injection liquid is automatically adjusted thanks to the arrangement and size of the passages 100, 102, 104, 106, 108, and 110. If the capacity is reduced while working pressure is held substantially constant the rate of liquid injection is reduced in accordance with reduced gas throughput. If capacity is reduced and working pressure is increased, the liquid injection rate normally will remain substantially constant thanks to the reduced size of the injection passages operating at a higher pressure differential.
  • valve member 66 if it is desired to turn the valve member 66 to reduce the capacity and the built-in volume ratio for operation of the compressor at low working pressures in order to conserve power absorption by the compressor, then the rate of injection of liquid will be decreased because the smaller liquid injection passages will be operable and at lower working pressures. This also will be'in accordance with the liquid injection needs of the compressor for efficient operation.
