Abstract:
A screw compressor is disclosed. The screw compressor includes a suction inlet that receives a working fluid to be compressed; a compression mechanism fluidly connected to the suction inlet that compresses the working fluid; a discharge outlet fluidly connected to the compression mechanism that outputs the working fluid following compression by the compression mechanism; wherein the compression mechanism fluidly communicates with one or more outlets disposed at an intermediate location between the suction inlet and the discharge outlet, the one or more outlets being selectively fluidly connectable to the discharge outlet such that the working fluid can be provided from the one or more outlets to the discharge outlet.
