COMPRESSOR SYSTEM AND COMPRESSOR

摘要

A unique compressor system may include a compressor having a compressor housing. The compressor housing may include an oil drainage passage formed therein. The passage may be configured to drain oil from bearings and other oil-lubricated components of the compressor. The compressor may be coupled to a gearbox or an oil tank. The gearbox or oil tank may include a passage that is in fluid communication with the oil drainage passage. The gearbox or oil tank passage may be operative to receive the drained oil and to direct the drained oil to an oil tank.
