Categories Related to Screw Compressors
A screw compressor is a type of positive displacement compressor that compresses gas through the rotation of a screw rotor. This rotor forms a compression chamber with the casing. As it rotates, it continuously compresses the gas, resulting in lower vibration and noise compared to reciprocating compressors. This efficiency makes screw compressors popular in medium to large capacity applications.
Screw compressors are employed in a wide range of applications, including:
The working principle of a screw compressor involves altering the volume of a chamber formed between the screw rotor and casing. This process includes stages of gas intake, compression, and discharge. Unlike reciprocating compressors, screw compressors lack intake and discharge valves and rely on the axial movement of the chamber for gas processing.
Screw compressors are available in lubricated and oil-free models:
They are also categorized by the number of screws, including single, twin, and triple-screw compressors.
For lubricated compressors, oil plays a vital role in sealing gaps, preventing gas leakage, and reducing heat. Selecting the right oil and regular maintenance are critical to prevent issues like oil degradation and machine malfunction.
