A vertical axis hermetic compressor includes an inner cylindrical housing fixed internally of a sealed outer enclosure bearing paired helical screw rotors defining with the inner housing closed thread compressor compression chambers. An electrical drive motor overlies the rotors and is shaft connected to one of the rotors. Compressed refrigerant vapor, where refrigerant is the working fluid, discharges through the motor rotor. Centrifugal force functions as a primary oil separator for oil entrained within the working fluid. An inverted dish deflector underlies a gas discharge port axially within the top of the outer enclosure such that oil impacted by gas flow discharging axially from the motor adheres to the deflector to provide secondary oil separation while the gas passes about the periphery of the deflector to escape through the discharge opening of the outer enclosure. A non-woven plastic mesh pad fixed to the bottom of the deflector acts as a shock absorber for the entrained oil to prevent re-entraining oil in the gas stream in mist form to provide tertiary oil separation thereby reducing oil mist carried by the escaping gas to less than about 0.5 percent by weight. Oil dropping from the deflector into the bottom of the outer enclosure functioning as an oil sump impacts against a two passage parallel flow dual transfer tube including one passage supplying liquid refrigerant from the condenser to the compressor working space for cooling the same through a liquid injection port and within a second passage, intermediate pressure refrigerant vapor injected into the compression process through a vapor injection port. This prevents excessive heating of the working fluid pulsing in the tubes during compression with control valves in the passages leading to the liquid injection and vapor injection ports closed.

In a vertical axis hermetic helical screw rotary compressor comprising; a closed, vertical axis, cylindrical outer enclosure, an inner cylindrical casing of a diameter less than that of said outer enclosure, means for coaxially fixedly mounting said inner cylindrical casing within said outer enclosure, transverse wall means separating said inner cylindrical casing into upper and lower chambers, intermeshed helical screw rotors mounted for rotation within said inner cylindrical casing intermediate of said transverse wall means about axes parallel to the vertical axis of said inner cylindrical casing, vertical shaft means for one of said helical screw rotors coaxially fixed thereto, an electrical motor mounted within said upper chamber and including a concentric rotor and stator, said motor rotor being fixedly mounted to the end of said vertical shaft means borne by said one helical screw rotor for driving said screw rotor, laterally intersecting vertical axis bores formed within said inner casing bearing said intermeshed helical screw rotors and forming therewith a compressor working chamber, a compressor inlet tube for supplying working fluid to said compressor, opening to at least one casing bore and said compression chamber at the upper end of said helical screw rotors, compressor discharge passage means within said inner casing for directing compressed working fluid exiting from the lower end of the intermeshed helical screw rotors, upwardly through said inner casing upper transverse wall and into said upper chamber bearing said motor means, an axial gas discharge outlet within the top of said vertical cylindrical outer enclosure, working fluid passage means carried by said rotor, oil within said outer enclosure accumulating within the bottom thereof, with the lower end of said outer enclosure functioning as an oil sump, and being subject to the discharge pressure of the working fluid, means for circulating oil to the rotating parts of said compressor for lubrication thereof, such that some lubricating oil in mist form is carried by the discharge working fluid discharging from the compression chamber and passing upwardly through said electrical drive motor towards the top of said vertical cylindrical outer enclosure, an inverted dish type deflector fixedly mounted beneath said axial discharge outlet, spaced therefrom, and overlying the upper end of said electrical drive motor, whereby; oil entrained in the working fluid in mist or droplet form is partially coalesced and separated from the working fluid by centrifugal force due to rotation of the drive motor, and additional oil is separated from the working fluid by impingement of the swirling discharge gas as it is thrown upwardly from the motor rotor against the bottom surface of the deflector, such that working fluid at compressor discharge pressure substantially free of oil passes about the periphery of the deflector and exits through the axial gas discharge outlet, the improvement comprising: a non-woven plastic mesh pad mounted to the bottom of the deflector in the direct impact path of the discharge gas thrown vertically upwards through said electrical drive motor by rotor rotation; whereby, said non-woven plastic mesh functions to absorb the impact of the oil in droplet form thrown against the non-woven plastic mesh by the swirling working fluid due to motor rotor rotation to prevent the oil droplets from shattering into mist form thereby functioning as a tertiary oil separator to significantly reduce the oil content of the gas subsequently discharging through the outlet within the top of the vertical cylindrical outer enclosure to less than about 0.5 percent by weight.
