Abstract
An oil cooled compressor includes a compressor body having a low pressure suction passage and a high pressure discharge passage. An oil tank is mounted to the discharge passage such that oil and drain water separated from a compressed gas in the discharge passage collect in the oil tank with water at a lowermost part of the oil tank. A drain water passage separate from a compressed gas discharge passage and an oil discharge passage, connects the lowermost part of the oil tank with a portion of the compressor body which is substantially at the low pressure. Drain water is thereby evaporated from the oil tank and returned to the compressor body.
