Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017108812A2] Disclosed is a refrigerant compressor system comprising at least three compressors which are arranged in parallel between a suction line and a pressure line and each of which includes a lubricant sump unit; during operation, the compressors operate in such a way that the pressures in the lubricant sump units of the compressors form a pressure cascade in which the compressors have a gradually slightly decreasing pressure in the associated lubricant sump units in a defined cascade sequence; the lubricant sump units are connected to each other according to the cascade sequence by means of a lubricant line system in order for lubricant to be delivered, and each lubricant sump unit includes a connection to which an insertion element is connected, the insertion element establishing a connection to the lubricant line system and being designed in such a way as to set, for the associated lubricant sump unit, a lubricant level from which lubricant is delivered to the subsequent lubricant sump unit in the cascade sequence.
