Abstract
Abstract A liquid ring compressor set including a base frame, fabricated of hollow sectional members on which the motor and compressor of the set are mounted, which functions as a liquid separator. The base frame is U-shaped and includes a pair of spaced-apart leg members each disposed in parallel relationship with respect to the compressor shaft of the set. A connecting member is coupled to corresponding ends of the leg members so as to form the U-shaped base frame configuration.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
In a liquid ring compressor set including a base frame fabricated of hollow sectional members in which a motor and compressor, each including a shaft, of the set are mounted, said compressor including an outlet, said base frame functioning as a liquid separator for said set, the improvement comprising a U-shaped base frame for said set including a pair of spaced-apart leg members each disposed in parallel relationship with respect to the shaft of said compressor of said set, and a connecting member coupled to corresponding ends of said leg members so as to form said U-shaped base frame, one of said leg members including at least one fluid inlet opening disposed in the top surface thereof coupled to said compressor outlet and the other of said leg members including at least one fluid outlet opening disposed in the top surface thereof, said compressor ejecting a fluid mixture into said inlet opening and said fluid mixture flowing through said base frame out of said compressor set through said outlet opening for separating moisture from said fluid mixture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
177 words
In a liquid ring compressor set including a base frame fabricated of hollow sectional members in which a motor and compressor, each including a shaft, of the set are mounted, said compressor including an outlet, said base frame functioning as a liquid separator for said set, the improvement comprising a U-shaped base frame for said set including a pair of spaced-apart leg members each disposed in parallel relationship with respect to the shaft of said compressor of said set, and a connecting member coupled to corresponding ends of said leg members so as to form said U-shaped base frame, one of said leg members including at least one fluid inlet opening disposed in the top surface thereof coupled to said compressor outlet and the other of said leg members including at least one fluid outlet opening disposed in the top surface thereof, said compressor ejecting a fluid mixture into said inlet opening and said fluid mixture flowing through said base frame out of said compressor set through said outlet opening for separating moisture from said fluid mixture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
The liquid ring compressor set recited in claim 1, wherein said base frame includes a space between said leg members and an access opening between said leg members at the end of said base frame opposite said connecting member for permitting the installation of accessory components in said space of said base frame.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
The liquid ring compressor set recited in claim 2, further comprising elongated guide members fastened to said leg members in said space of said base frame for slidably mounting said accessory components of said compressor therein.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
137 words
The liquid ring compressor set recited in claim 1, wherein the height of the center of the shaft of said motor is less than the height of the center of the shaft of said compressor with respect to said base frame, and wherein said motor and compressor shafts are disposed on the same axis, and further comprising an additional liquid separator disposed on said base frame beneath said motor of said apparatus over said inlet and outlet openings in said base frame, said additional separator including an additional inlet opening coupled to said compressor outlet and an additional outlet opening disposed in the top surface thereof, said fluid ejected by said compressor flowing through said additional inlet opening into said additional separator and said base frame and out of said compressor set through said additional outlet opening.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
The liquid ring compressor set recited in claim 4, wherein said additional liquid separator beneath said motor is coupled to and forms part of said base frame.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The liquid ring compressor set recited in claim 4, further comprising a droplet separator disposed in said additional liquid separator of said set.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
The liquid ring compressor set recited in claim 6, wherein said droplet separator comprises a plate-shaped, pull-out droplet separator.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
The liquid ring compressor set recited in claim 7, wherein said droplet separator comprises a wire screen which also functions as a sound absorber in said additional liquid separator.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
The liquid ring compressor set recited in claim 1, further comprising means for monitoring and adjustably controlling the liquid level in said base frame.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
29 words
The liquid ring compressor set recited in claim 1, wherein said leg members are subdivided so as to form first and second liquid separation compartments in said base frame.
