摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for controlling the oil recirculation in an oil-injected screw-type compressor which, between the oil separator ( 10 ) and the compressor element ( 1 ), comprises an oil recirculation conduit ( 17 ) in which an oil cooler ( 18 ) is installed which is bridged-over by a passage or bypass ( 30 ), said control taking place by means of a thermostatic valve ( 24 ) having a valve element ( 26 ) which can be moved by means of a temperature-sensitive element ( 34 ). During the transition of the screw compressor from the unloaded to the loaded condition, the effect of the temperature-sensitive element ( 34 ) temporarily is switched off at least partially, such that the valve element ( 26 ) takes a position in which, regardless of the temperature of the oil, at least the bypass ( 30 ) is open and thus the recirculation of oil from the oil separator ( 10 ) to the compressor element ( 1 ) takes place through this bypass ( 30 ).
