Zusammenfassung: | A turbo compressor includes: a casing having a fluid chamber for receiving a fluid from an external source; a driving unit disposed in the casing and generating a rotational force; a first compressing part installed at one side of a rotational shaft rotated according to the driving of the driving unit and first compressing the fluid; a second compressing part installed at the other side of the rotational shaft and secondly compressing the fluid compressed in the first compressing part; and a bearing cooling unit for supplying a fluid of the fluid chamber to a bearing chamber to perform a cooling operation when a temperature of the bearing chamber where the thrust bearing for supporting a load working in an axial direction of the rotational shaft is mounted is increased, and cutting off the fluid from being introduced into the bearing chamber when the temperature of the bearing chamber is maintained at a proper level. The supply passage for allowing the bearing chamber and the fluid chamber receiving the fluid to communicate each other is formed at the first support member where the radial bearing supporting a load working in an axial direction of the rotational direction is formed and the open-and-shut valve is formed to open and shut the supply passage according to a temperature of the bearing chamber, in order to supply fluid to the bearing chamber according to the temperature of the bearing chamber and perform a cooling operation of the radial bearing. Thus, the temperature of the radial bearing can be constantly maintained at a proper level, so that a degradation due to a friction of the bearing can be prevented, and the lifespan and a reliability of the bearing can be improved. |
