Screw Compressor Information

What is a Screw Compressor?

A screw compressor is a type of positive - displacement compressor that uses two intermeshing helical screws (rotors) to compress gas. As the rotors turn, the gas is trapped between the threads of the screws and the housing, and the volume of the trapped gas is progressively reduced, increasing the pressure of the gas.


History of Screw Compressor

The concept of the screw compressor dates back to the 19th century. However, it was in the mid - 20th century that significant development and commercialization took place. The early designs were refined over time with improvements in rotor profiles, lubrication systems, and manufacturing techniques. The growth of industrial applications and the need for efficient gas compression drove the evolution of screw compressors into the reliable and high - performance machines we have today.


Purpose of Screw Compressor

  • Industrial Applications: Screw compressors are widely used in industrial settings to provide compressed air for pneumatic tools and machinery. They are also used to compress various process gases such as refrigerants in air - conditioning and refrigeration systems.
  • Gas Transmission: In the energy sector, they play a role in compressing natural gas for transportation through pipelines. The compressed gas can be more efficiently transported over long distances.


Principle of Screw Compressor

The operation of a screw compressor is based on the meshing of two helical rotors. The male and female rotors rotate in opposite directions. Gas enters the compressor through the inlet port and is trapped in the spaces between the rotor lobes and the housing. As the rotors turn, the trapped volume of gas moves along the length of the rotors, and the volume is continuously reduced. This reduction in volume causes an increase in the pressure of the gas, which is then discharged through the outlet port.


Features of Screw Compressor

  • High - Efficiency: Screw compressors offer high - efficiency compression, especially in a wide range of operating conditions. The continuous flow of gas and the smooth operation of the rotors contribute to efficient energy transfer.
  • Low - Pulsation: Compared to some other compressor types, screw compressors produce relatively low - pulsation output. This makes them suitable for applications where a steady supply of compressed gas is required.
  • Compact Design: They have a relatively compact design for their capacity. The absence of many reciprocating parts (unlike piston compressors) allows for a more space - efficient layout.
  • Versatility: Can handle a variety of gases and a wide range of flow rates and pressures, making them suitable for diverse industrial applications.


Types of Screw Compressor

  • Oil - Injected Screw Compressors: These compressors inject oil into the compression chamber. The oil serves multiple purposes, including sealing the gaps between the rotors and the housing, cooling the gas during compression, and lubricating the rotors. They are commonly used in industrial air - compression applications.
  • Oil - Free Screw Compressors: As the name implies, these compressors operate without oil injection in the compression chamber. They are used in applications where oil - free compressed air is essential, such as in the food and pharmaceutical industries.


Precautions for using Screw Compressor

  • Lubrication System: For oil - injected compressors, it's crucial to maintain the proper oil level and quality. Regular oil changes and filtration are necessary to ensure the smooth operation of the compressor and to prevent damage to the rotors.
  • Intake Conditions: The intake air or gas should be clean and free of particulate matter and moisture. Filters should be regularly cleaned or replaced to avoid clogging and damage to the compressor internals.
  • Overheating: Screw compressors can overheat if operated under excessive load or with insufficient cooling. Adequate ventilation and cooling systems should be in place to prevent overheating and subsequent damage to the compressor.


Things to consider when purchasing Screw Compressor

  • Capacity and Pressure Requirements: Determine the required flow rate and pressure of the compressed gas for your application. Make sure the compressor you choose can meet these requirements.
  • Type of Gas: Consider the type of gas you will be compressing. Different gases have different characteristics and may require specific compressor designs or materials.
  • Energy - Efficiency: Look for a compressor with high - efficiency ratings to reduce operating costs over the long term. Consider features such as variable - speed drives that can adjust the compressor speed according to the demand.[!--empirenews.page--]
  • Maintenance and Serviceability: Evaluate the ease of maintenance, availability of spare parts, and the reputation of the manufacturer's service support.


Terms of Screw Compressor

  • Rotors: The two helical screws that are the key components of the screw compressor. Their meshing and rotation are responsible for compressing the gas.
  • Positive - Displacement Compressor: A type of compressor that works by trapping a specific volume of gas and then reducing its volume to increase the pressure. Screw compressors are a type of positive - displacement compressor.
  • Oil - Injected and Oil - Free: Refers to the presence or absence of oil injection in the compression chamber. This affects the quality of the compressed gas and the internal operation of the compressor.
