Abstract:
A compression device includes a first compressor and a second compressor mounted in parallel, each compressor including a leakproof enclosure including a low pressure portion containing a motor and an oil sump, an oil level equalization conduit putting into communication the oil sumps of the first and second compressors, and control means adapted for controlling the starting and the stopping of the first and second compressors. The first compressor includes first detection means coupled with the control means and adapted for detecting an oil level in the oil sump of the first compressor. The control means are adapted for controlling the stopping of the second compressor when the oil level detected by the first detection means falls below a first predetermined value.
Abstract:
The compressor includes a sealed enclosure containing a compression stage, an electric motor having a stator and a rotor, an oil pump rotationally coupled to the rotor, including an oil inlet port connected to an oil sump, and control means arranged to command the operation of the motor in a start-up mode in which the rotor is rotated at a first speed of rotation included in a first speed range, and a normal operating mode in which the rotor is rotated at a second speed of rotation included in a second speed range higher than the first speed range. The compressor includes an oil injection device having an oil injection duct connected to a first oil outlet port of the oil pump and arranged to supply the compression stage with oil.
