Abstract

An air-cooling system for fluidic machine includes a base frame, a first intercooler arranged above the base frame and in which a fluid for heat exchange flows, an oil cooler arranged adjacent to the first intercooler and in which oil flows, a second intercooler arranged above the base frame to face one of the first intercooler and the oil cooler and in which the fluid for heat exchange flows, an aftercooler arranged adjacent to the second intercooler to face the other of the first intercooler and the oil cooler and in which the fluid for heat exchange flows, and a blower supplying cooling air to a space between the first intercooler and the oil cooler, and the second intercooler and the aftercooler.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An air-cooling system for fluidic machine, the air-cooling system comprising:
a base frame;
a first intercooler arranged above the base frame, wherein a fluid for heat exchange flows in the first intercooler;
an oil cooler arranged adjacent to the first intercooler, wherein oil flows in the oil cooler;
a second intercooler arranged above the base frame, wherein the fluid for heat exchange flows in the second intercooler, and the second intercooler faces one of the first intercooler and the oil cooler;
an aftercooler arranged adjacent to the second intercooler, wherein the fluid for heat exchange flows in the aftercooler, and the aftercooler faces the other of the first intercooler and the oil cooler; and
a blower configured to supply cooling air to a space between the first intercooler and the oil cooler, and the second intercooler and the aftercooler.

2. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 1 , wherein the oil cooler is arranged above the base frame and adjacent to one edge of the first intercooler successively in an extension direction of the first intercooler, and
wherein the aftercooler is arranged above the base frame and adjacent to one edge of the second intercooler successively in an extension direction of the second intercooler.

3. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 2 , wherein the first intercooler and the oil cooler, and the aftercooler and the second intercooler are arranged inclined relative to the base frame to be spaced farther apart from each other toward an upper side above the base frame.

4. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 1 , wherein each of the first intercooler and the oil cooler has a rectangular parallelepiped shape,
wherein the oil cooler is arranged successively after the first intercooler in a direction in which a largest surface of the first intercooler extends, and
wherein a direction in which a largest surface of the oil cooler extends is the same as or parallel to the direction in which the largest surface of the first intercooler extends.

5. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 4 , wherein each of the second intercooler and the aftercooler has a rectangular parallelepiped shape,
wherein the aftercooler is arranged successively after the second intercooler in a direction in which a largest surface of the second intercooler extends, and
wherein a direction in which a largest surface of the aftercooler extends is the same as or parallel to the direction in which the largest surface of the second intercooler extends.

6. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 5 , further comprising:
a bracket coupling a lower end of one of the first intercooler and the oil cooler or one of the second intercooler and the aftercooler to the base frame, and
a through bracket coupling a lower end of the other of the first intercooler and the oil cooler or the other of the second intercooler and the aftercooler, to the base frame to be vertically spaced apart from the base frame.

7. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 6 , wherein a transfer pipe connected to the other of the first intercooler and the oil cooler or the other of the second intercooler and the aftercooler passes through the through bracket.

8. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 1 , wherein the oil cooler is arranged above the first intercooler to be adjacent to an upper end of the first intercooler, the upper end being opposite to a lower end of the first intercooler which faces the base frame, and
wherein the second intercooler and the aftercooler are successively stacked above the base frame to face the first intercooler and the oil cooler.

9. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 8 , wherein the oil cooler arranged above the first intercooler has a size smaller than a size of the first intercooler, and
wherein the second intercooler stacked above the aftercooler has a size smaller than a size of the aftercooler.

10. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 8 , further comprising:
a bracket connecting each of a lower end of the first intercooler facing the base frame and a lower end of the second intercooler facing the base frame, to the base frame, and
a connection bracket connecting the first intercooler to the oil cooler, and connecting the aftercooler to the second intercooler.

11. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 8 , wherein the first intercooler and the oil cooler, and the aftercooler and the second intercooler are arranged inclined to the base frame to be spaced farther apart from each other toward an upper side above the base frame.

12. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 11 , wherein an inclination angle at which the first intercooler and the oil cooler are inclined relative to the base frame is the same as an inclination angle at which the aftercooler and the second intercooler are inclined relative to the base frame.

13. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 1 , further comprising an air/water separator connected to at least one of the first intercooler, the second intercooler, and the aftercooler, the air/water separator separating condensate included in compressed air.

14. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 1 , further comprising a door arranged on a path which connects a cooling space to an outside, the cooling space formed by the first intercooler and the oil cooler, and the second intercooler and the aftercooler.

15. The air-cooling system for fluidic machine of claim 14 , further comprising a partition surrounding the first intercooler, the oil cooler, the second intercooler, the aftercooler, and the cooling space, the partition comprising a blow hole in which the blower is provided, and an air circulation hole which connects the cooling space to the outside,
wherein the door is rotatably coupled to the partition to open or close at least a part of the partition.

16. An air-cooling system for fluidic machine, the air-cooling system comprising:
a base frame extending in a first direction and a second direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction;
a first intercooler arranged above the base frame in a third direction, the third direction being perpendicular to the second direction, wherein the first intercooler is configured for a fluid for heat exchange to flow therethrough;
an oil cooler arranged adjacent to the first intercooler, wherein the oil cooler is configured for oil to flow therethrough, and wherein the oil cooler is aligned with the first intercooler in the second direction;
a second intercooler arranged above the base frame in the third direction, wherein the second intercooler is configured for the fluid for heat exchange to flow therethrough, and wherein the second intercooler faces across from one of the first intercooler and the oil cooler in the first direction;
