<p>Device for returning oil to at least one compressor (1) in a cooling or refrigerating system, in which the compressor sucks oil (16) from an oil collecting container (13) through at least one suction conduit (14) connected to the collecting container (13) and having one or more gas and oil intakes (15) which is or are situated above the oil level (16a) in the collecting container (13). To permit returning oil together with refrigerant and ensure a continuous oil supply to the compressor when in operation irrespectively of whether there are small or large oil amounts in the collecting container, the suction conduit (14) connects the gas and oil intake (15) to the inside (17) of the collecting container (13) above the oil level (16a) therein, and the gas and oil intake (15) has a substantially smaller throughflow area than the collecting container (13) to produce such a gas velocity in the gas and oil intake (15) that after the oil (16) collected in the collecting container (13) has been foamed up at the start of the compressors, the gas is capable of elevating the collected oil (16) on the inside of the collecting container (13) to the suction conduit gas and oil intake (15) and carrying it farther into the suction conduit (14) as the intake or intakes are connected to the inside (17) of the collecting container (13).</p> |
