Screw compressor
A screw compressor 2 includes a compressor main body 4 , a motor 8 , and a gearbox 10 . The compressor main body 4 includes screw rotors 5 c, 5 d, 6 c , and 6 d , rotor casings 5 e and 6 e accommodating therein the screw rotors 5 c, 5 d, 6 c , and 6 d , and main body casings 5 a and 6 a accommodating therein the rotor casings 5 e and 6 e , the main body casings being provided with first flanges 5 b and 6 b on respective ends thereof. The motor 8 drives the screw rotors 5 c, 5 d, 6 c , and 6 d via gears 10 f and 10 g . The gearbox 10 has an attachment surface Son which the first flange 6 b to the main body casings 5 a and 6 a is attached, accommodates therein the gears 10 f and 10 g , and has a substantially rectangular shape. In a state where the compressor main body 4 is attached to the gearbox 10 , a part of the first flange 6 b extends to an outside of the attachment surface S, and projection regions of the rotor casings 5 e and 6 e onto the attachment surface S exist within the attachment surface S. In this way, vibrations of the screw compressor 2 can be reduced.
