Abstract:
A screw compressor includes plural screw rotors, plural suction-side bearings that each rotatably support the suction side of the plural screw rotors and plural discharge-side bearings that each rotatably support the discharge side of the plural screw rotors, and a casing that houses the plural screw rotors, the plural suction-side bearings, and the plural discharge-side bearings. Each screw rotor includes a lobe section with plural lobes and a suction-side shaft section and a discharge-side shaft section each disposed at both ends of the lobe section. The casing has a housing chamber that houses the lobe sections of the plural screw rotors and a lubrication path in which liquid that lubricates the plural suction-side bearings circulates. In the lubrication path, respective passages to lubricate each of the plural suction-side bearings are connected in series and a most downstream part is connected to the housing chamber.
