Lubrication
In the lubrication of the strategy, in the crankcase of the compressor acts as the oil pan. Carter is filled with lubricant at a level that reaches the bottom of the main crankshaft bearings. As the compressor motor is rotating crankshaft, connecting rods and Cams dipped in oil, the spray on the walls of the cylinder, bearing and other friction surfaces. Small cavities, or oil reservoirs will be cast into the building by the main bearings located at each end of the crankcase. These cisterns collect some splashed on oil, which flows down the wall of the body and send it to the main bearings and shaft sealing. In some designs, the connecting rods are threaded for the carriage of oil in bearings, piston wrist contacts. Oil scoops or dippers are sometimes set at the end of the rods to increase the effects of spray and help in forcing the oil rifle through the drilled oil channels.
Flooded by a modified method of Lubrication lubrication is called flooded lubrication. Flooded lubrication systems use slinger rings, washers, screws, and similar devices, to increase the flow of lubricating oil of the compressor.
Instead of spray lubricants throughout Carter, these devices lift the oil above the crankshaft bearings. From this hill, oil floods bearings, flowing through the lubrication channels and passages delivery moving surfaces in the compressor. This method of lubrication is particularly suitable for small, high-speed compressors, when the usual splash system may cause excessive foaming and discharge of oil from the violent shaking in the crankcase.
