A oil-cooled type screw compressor of the present invention includes a compressor
main unit storing a pair of male and female screw rotors driven by a motor and
meshing with each other, a cooling fan provided independently to the motor for
blowing air toward the motor, and control means for receiving a detected temperature
signal from a temperature detector for detecting the coil temperature of the motor,
and conducting control for increasing/decreasing the fan rotation speed of the
cooling fan according to the coil temperature so as to maintain the coil temperature
within a permissible range. It is possible to use the coil current of the motor
or the motor rotation speed and the discharge pressure in place of the detected
temperature signal. This constitution provides a screw compressor which offers
fan-removed heat quantity not excessive or insufficient with respect to the motor
heat generation quantity, and realizes sufficient cooling for the motor, and energy saving.
