Abstract
The invention relates to a rotary screw machine that is completely oil-free. Known rotary screw machines with cooling, sealing, lubrication of the screw rotors and oil-lubrication and oil-cooling of the bearings have been replaced with water-lubricated and water-cooled bearings. Each screw rotor (102) is mounted in a water-lubricated radial slide bearing (1) and one trunnion (31) of the rotor co-acts with a water-lubricated thrust bearing (9, 10) which acts both as an hydrodynamic and an hydrostatic bearing. The trunnion bearing housing (21) is in fluid connection with the rotor housing, both along the trunnion and via a conduit (27) from the bearing housing interior to the gas inlet (108) of the screw rotor or via a channel which is cut-off from said inlet.
