Economizer Port Location
-
The Economizer Port A port placed in the rotor housing can
locate any pressure between suction and discharge.
This port acts as a secondary suction port.
The additional flow does not reduce the primary suction gas flow.
The gas mixes in the screw threads and is carried on to discharge.
Compression efficiency is high as additional frictional power is small.
Like a frictionless compressor
-
Uses of the Econo. Port This secondary suction port is used
in two ways. Sideloads are generally gas flows
coming from a secondary, (higher temp.) evaporator.
Economizers are used to subcoolcondenser liquid.

Comp.Secondary Evaporator
Vapor from a secondary evaporator can be drawn intothe compressor economizer port, providing the
secondary evaporator is at a pressure higherthan the econo. pressure.
