ABSTRACT:
An integral separator and cooling apparatus is provided for removing a lubricant from a heated, compressed lubricant and gas mixture, and for cooling the separated lubricant. The apparatus includes a lubricant reservoir for containing a liquid lubricant. A receiving plenum is made integral with the lubricant reservoir. The receiving plenum has an inlet for receiving the heated, compressed lubricant and gas mixture, a first outlet through which a heated, compressed gas exits, and a second outlet through which the separated lubricant flows from the receiving plenum. An apparatus is provided within the receiving plenum which causes a liquid lubricant to precipitate from the lubricant and gas mixture. A cooling core is made integral with the lubricant reservoir and the receiving plenum. The cooling core fluidly communicates with the lubricant reservoir and with the receiving plenum. The cooling core includes: a header apparatus mounted on the cooling core, a first flow passage which extends from the second outlet of the receiving plenum to the header apparatus, and a second flow passage which extends from the header apparatus to the lubricant reservoir. An apparatus directs a flow of cooling fluid across the first and second flow passages in response to a control signal from a thermal control apparatus.
