Abstract

Provided is an oil tank of a turbo chiller compressor whose heater can be replaced or checked without removing oil from an oil tank and removing refrigerant from a turbo chiller, and a turbo chiller compressor. An oil tank ( 10 ) of a turbo chiller compressor ( 3 A) includes a bottom plate ( 11 ) and side plates ( 12, 13 ) standing upright so as to extend upward from an outer peripheral edge portion of the bottom plate ( 11 ). The oil tank ( 10 ) forms a bottom portion of a casing ( 14 ) forming the turbo chiller compressor ( 3 A), a through-hole ( 21 ) is formed so as to penetrate the side plate ( 12 ) in a plate thickness direction, a protective tube ( 22 ) closed at a tip end thereof is inserted into the through-hole ( 21 ), and a rod-shaped heater ( 26 ) configured to be able to be pulled out from the protective tube ( 22 ) and be inserted into the protective tube ( 22 ) is inserted into the protective tube ( 22 ).

Claims (13)

1. An oil tank of a turbo chiller compressor, comprising:

a bottom plate; and

a side plate standing upright so as to extend upward from an outer peripheral edge portion of the bottom plate,

the oil tank forming a bottom portion of a casing forming the turbo chiller compressor, wherein

in the bottom plate, a hole is formed so as to extend from one end surface of the bottom plate toward the other end surface of the bottom plate opposite to the one end surface,

a rod-shaped heater configured to be able to be pulled out from the hole and be inserted into the hole is inserted into the hole, and

a plurality of identical heat transfer fins are formed so as to protrude upward from an entire upper surface of the bottom plate.

2. The oil tank of a turbo chiller compressor according to claim 1 , wherein

a space between the hole and the heater is filled with a heat-resistant release silicon material, chemically-synthesized oil, or a boron nitride aqueous solution.

3. A turbo chiller compressor comprising:

the oil tank of a turbo chiller compressor according to claim 1 .

4. A turbo chiller comprising:

the turbo chiller compressor according to claim 3 .
