Abstract
Abstract An oilless rotary compressor system including an oilless rotary compressor, a radiator, a precooler, a cooler and a check valve. Heat resulting from a compression by the oilless rotary compressor is carried to the radiator through an aqueous solution of propylene glycol which flows through the oilless rotary compressor and precooler in this order and is dispersed into the atmosphere.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
An oilless rotary-type compressor system comprising: a drive means; a transmission means connected to said drive means for increasing a rotational speed of said drive means; a rotary-type compressor means connected to said transmission means including a casing means having a suction port means, a discharge port means, and a jacket means, a pair of meshing screw rotor means rotatably accommodated in said casing means; a precooler means connected to a discharge side of said rotary-type compressor means comprising a heat transfer tube means and a shell means for enclosing said heat transfer tube means; a radiator means connected to said precooler means and said jacket means of said casing means through a circulation passage means for dispersing heat of the heat transfer medium which circulates through said precooler means, said jacket means and said radiator means; fan means for blowing air into said radiator means; a cooler means connected to an outlet side of said precooler means; and a check valve means located in a compressed gas passage means between said precooler means and said cooler means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
