VENTED COMPRESSOR INLET GUIDE Abstract of the Disclosure To provide reduction in temporary conditions of excess load on the thrust bearing, a labyrinth positioned contiguous to a leakage aperture in the high pressure side of a single stage overhung compressor rotor affords controlled leakage to a venting circuit in communication with a lower pressure system. A pressure switch responsive to pressure levels in the venting circuit prevents compressor start at pressures above the set point of the switch while a backpressure valve in the venting circuit when operative maintains a predeter- mined pressure level therein. When the thrust bearing is operating at speeds sufficient to enable acceptance of the load imposed by compressor pressure, an override solenoid valve serves to close the backpressure valve and operably shut the venting circuit.
