The Cooling Compressor
The temperature of the compressor is greatly affected by the heat of compression. As vapor "squeezed" and thrown in capacitor, steam temperature rises. Friction (rubbing) between moving parts also adds compressor the temperature. This heat must be removed to prevent the loss of productivity of the pump. This heat must be removed in order to maintain the lubricating properties of the oil.
Oil, which circulates in the compressor removes a lot of heat from the engine and compressor. As it flows over the heat surface, he picks up that heat. It has the warmth in the cool surface. Many compressors and many of the dome metal plate on their outer surface. These fins help carry the heat. Some rooms even use a motor-driven fan forced cooling air through the compressor.
With water cooled condenser water is often used for cooling compressor or dome. Motors are often cooled by passing suction and return oil vapor more windings. Some units providing the circulation of oil in the crankcase through air cooling coil. Chilled butter helps to cool the motor of the compressor. Some large sealed units are water cooled...
