A screw air compressor is a type of positive displacement compressor that uses two interlocking rotors to compress air. Here's a step-by-step overview of the process:
Intake: Air is drawn into the compressor through an intake valve.
Compression: The air is compressed as it moves through the interlocking rotors, which rotate to reduce the volume and increase the pressure of the air.
Cooling: The compressed air is then cooled to remove excess heat generated during compression.
Storage: The cooled, compressed air is stored in a tank until it is needed.
Discharge: When the air is needed, it is released from the tank through a discharge valve.
Rotors: Two interlocking helical rotors (male and female) that compress the air as they rotate.
Housing: Precision-matched housing that encases the rotors and helps in the compression process.
Intake and Discharge Ports: Allow air to enter and exit the compressor.
Oil Injection System: Lubricates the rotors and helps in cooling the compressed air.
Industrial: Used in manufacturing, automotive, and construction industries.
Commercial: Used in HVAC systems, food processing, and retail.
Residential: Used for DIY projects, inflating tires, and powering small tools.
