A horizontal open drive scroll machine has a lubrication removal system located with the suction inlet of the scroll machine's outer housing. The lubrication removal system includes a funnel which directs the incoming working fluid to a position radially inward from the suction inlet defined by the scrolls. A fine mesh screen is located within the suction inlet of the housing to further aid in the removal of the lubricant from the working fluid being returned to the suction pressure chamber of the scroll machine.

Suction inlet screen and funnel for a compressor

An open drive scroll compressor had a unique lubrication system which includes a vane type oil pump attached to an outer diameter of the drive shaft of the compressor. The oil pump draws oil from an oil sump, sends a first portion of the oil to the components of the compressor needing lubrication and a second portion through a filter. The return to the sump from the filter is restricted to control oil pressure and thus the amount of circulated oil. The scroll compressor includes a first baffle between the oil sump and a counterweight attached to the drive shaft and a second baffle disposed between the scroll members and the oil sump.
