Water injection type screw fluid machine
First Claim
1. A water injection type screw fluid machine, in which a target gas is compressed or expansion force of the target gas is converted into turning force by intermeshing male and female screw rotors housed in a rotor chamber formed in a casing, while water is injected inside the rotor chamber to lubricate the screw rotors, the screw fluid machine comprising:
- a first non-contact seal, a second non-contact seal, and a lip seal, which are disposed between the rotor chamber and a bearing for a rotor shaft of the screw rotor and in this order from the rotor chamber side;
a pressurized communicating channel for introducing the target gas which is at high pressure into a pressurized space formed between said first non-contact seal and said second non-contact seal; and
an open communicating channel, through which an open space, which is formed between said second non-contact seal and said lip seal, opens to an outside of the casing.

Abstract
A water-lubrication type screw fluid machine has a first non-contact seal, a second non-contact seal and a lip seal disposed between a rotor chamber and a bearing for a rotor shaft. The bearing is located on the high pressure side and in this order from the rotor chamber side. the bearing includes a low pressure communicating channel for allowing an outflow space formed on the rotor chamber side with respect to the first non-contact seal to communicate with a low pressure channel for the target gas communicating with a low pressure space inside the rotor chamber or the rotor chamber, a pressurized communicating channel for introducing high-pressure target gas into a pressurized space formed between the first and second non-contact seals, and an open communicating channel through which an open space formed between the second non-contact seal and the lip seal opens to the outside of the casing.
