Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A turbo compressor includes a housing in which lubrication oil is accumulated, a gear that is housed in the housing and to which the lubrication oil is supplied, a demister that is disposed above the gear and on which an intake is provided to catch oil mist of the lubrication oil in the housing, a gear cover that is provided surrounding the gear to catch lubrication oil splashed by the gear and then drip the caught lubrication oil downward, and a demister cover that is disposed near the demister to drip the lubrication oil caught by the demister downward. Here, a narrow gap is formed between the demister cover and an inner wall surface of the housing. According to the turbo compressor, an amount of lubrication oil flowing through the demister can be reduced by the gear cover and the demister cover.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A turbo compressor comprising: a housing in which lubrication oil is accumulated; a gear that is housed in the housing and to which the lubrication oil is supplied; a demister that is disposed above the gear and on which an intake is provided to catch oil mist of the lubrication oil in the housing; a gear cover that is provided surrounding the gear to catch lubrication oil splashed by the gear and then drip the caught lubrication oil downward; and a demister cover that is disposed near the demister to drip the lubrication oil caught by the demister downward, wherein a narrow gap is formed between the demister cover and an inner wall surface of the housing. 2. The turbo compressor according to claim 1 , wherein a lower end edge of the gear cover counter to a rotational direction of the gear is extended downward further than an opposed-side lower end edge. 3. The turbo compressor according to claim 1 , wherein a total area of the narrow gap is made larger than an opening area of the intake of the demister. 4. The turbo compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the demister includes at least one intake. 5. The turbo compressor according to claim 4 , wherein an area of the narrow gap is larger than an opening area of the at least one intake.
