A liquid distributor delivers a falling flow of the liquid to be distributed substantially uniformly along a longitudinal extent of the liquid distributor. The liquid distributor has a bottom wall including a longitudinally extending distribution plate having a plurality of laterally spaced and longitudinally extending channels. A shell and tube evaporator for chilling a working fluid incorporates the liquid distributor as a distributor of liquid onto the heat exchange tubes of a tube bundle disposed within an interior volume of the shell. Each channel is aligned with a respective column of the plurality of vertical columns of heat exchange tubes and is configured to deliver a falling flow of liquid refrigerant onto the respective tube column substantially uniformly along the longitudinal extent of the respective tube column.

Lubricant is pumped into a lubrication system by an oil pump. Preferably the lubricant is drawn into the pump from an unagitated source. An eccentric pump rotor is received on the crankshaft and has a circumferentially extending recess. A radially extending drive pin is secured in the crankshaft and coacts with the ends of the recess to position the rotor in accordance with the direction of rotation of the shaft.
