COMPRESSOR SLIDE VALVE LUBRICATION

摘要

A compressor (20) has an unloading slide valve (100). The valve has a valve element (102) having a range between a first condition and a second condition, the second condition being unloaded relative to the first condition. A first surface (200) of the valve element (102) is in sliding engagement with a second surface (202) of the housing (22) during movement between the first and second conditions. The compressor includes means for lubricating the first (200) and second (202) surfaces.
