Fluid compressor and method of operating a fluid compressor to reduce oil carryover by a compressor piston assembly

A compressor comprises a first compressor piston assembly including a first compressor piston head having a bottom side and a longitudinal central axis. The compressor also comprises a first nozzle arranged to direct a first oil stream towards the bottom side of the first compressor piston head to c...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A compressor comprises a first compressor piston assembly including a first compressor piston head having a bottom side and a longitudinal central axis. The compressor also comprises a first nozzle arranged to direct a first oil stream towards the bottom side of the first compressor piston head to cool the piston assembly. The compressor further comprises a second nozzle arranged to direct a second oil stream towards the bottom side of the first compressor piston head to cool the piston assembly. Each of the oil streams is substantially parallel to each other and to the longitudinal central axis to provide a flow of oil to cool the piston assembly and to reduce an oil carryover by the first compressor piston assembly by up to about fifty percent as compared to a compressor having no nozzles directing oil streams towards the bottom side of the first compressor piston head.
