The Main Components Of Industrial Screw Air Compressors
 

Inlet Valve – The suction valve that introduces dry air into the combustion chamber.

Outlet Valve – The valve that supplies compressed air to a system or process.

Compression Chamber – Where air compression occurs; also called an "air-end."

Air Filter – Present in oil-injected compressors, air filters separate moisture and oil residue from the compressed air to produce dry air at the outlet valve.

Oil Filter – Oil filters purify oil in the system to prevent contaminants and unwanted build-up of residue. They also provide lubrication to machine parts for smooth operation.

Oil Separator – Oil separators help to remove residual oil/grease from compressed air.

Rotors/Rollers – The main compression mechanism consists of mating screws with multiple lobes.

Bearings – Bearings help to minimize the force of friction between the meshing screws, ensuring more durable operation and greater efficiency.

Oil & Gas
In the oil and gas industry, screw-type air compressors are used for gas lift (secondary oil recovery), where high-pressure gas is injected into the surrounding formation to ramp up the production of hydrocarbons. Other applications include pipeline maintenance services, equipment purging, and gas pipeline pigging.

Manufacturing
In manufacturing facilities such as automobile assembly, pharmaceutical, and chemical plants, operators use screw air compressors to operate compression-powered tools such as pneumatic drills and hydraulic tools. Other applications include equipment cleaning and general maintenance.

Food Packaging
In food manufacturing plants, screw-type compressors provide compressed air to operate blow molding machines for food packaging. They are also used in gas flushing food packaging, product sorting, and shaping. Oil-free screw air compressors are preferable for food-grade applications.

Construction
In the construction industry, rotary screw compressors provide high-pressure air for operating heavy-duty tools such as jack-hammers, pneumatic tools, and sandblasters. Compressed air is also required in slurry blowing, blowing of mud/wash holes, and building piling operations.

Agriculture
Heavy agricultural equipment like tractors, pumps, sprayers, and crop conveyors can all be powered by rotary air compressors. In addition to traditional farms, they are also used on dairy farms and greenhouses.

Energy
Oil drilling in oil rigs has found rotary air compressors particularly useful. In order to keep the crew safe and protected, dependable equipment is necessary for these operations. Their spark-free delivery and stable outputs are very desirable in processes as delicate and isolated as oil rigs.

 

Rotary Screw Air Compressor Components

 

 

Airend: This part is the heart of the air compressor and the site of compression. This component has an inlet valve to combine air with oil throughout the compression process.

Air filter: It is essential to filter the air before it reaches the inlet valve. Air compressors must mount to the compressor or connect with a hose. Look for the area with the cleanest, coolest air and place the filter there for the best results.

Primary separation tank: Compressed air mixes with compressor oil as it travels from the airend. The primary separation tank allows the first round of filtration to occur. Mechanical separation and centrifugal force work to form oil droplets, which then fall to the bottom, allowing the tank to become an oil reservoir.

Secondary separation filter: Compressed air needs additional filtration to become completely clean. The remaining oil and air mixtures go through the secondary separation filter. Here, filters catch the oil and direct it back to the central oil system. Air leaving this filter will be free of oil.

Oil filter: This component's job is to gather loose particles from the oil collection. You can place an oil filter at one of the various intervals on the compressor loop.

Oil cooler: The air compression process produces a significant amount of heat, which can cause oil to get very hot. The fluid must go through a cooler to shed some of that heat before cycling into the compressor again. Some rotary compressors use an air-to-liquid cooler, while others use a liquid-to-liquid cooler.

Hoses: Hoses must meet the chemical, heat and pressure specifications of the oil you use to avoid causing excess wear and tear or hose failure. These failures can be incredibly dangerous and could result in repairing or replacing the unit.

 

Rotary Screw Air Compressor Maintenance

 

Airend: Airend damage can occur due to air contamination or excessive heat and lubricants. Pay close attention to any unusual sounds or vibrations to catch damage early. Manufacturers often suggest rebuilding airends around the 50,000- or 60,000-hour mark of run time to prevent sudden breakdowns.

Motor bearings: Proper lubrication will allow the motor bearing to provide a long, efficient service life. Still, you must replace the bearings more often than other components to ensure longevity. Ensure the motor doesn't experience overloading by checking the amperage draw regularly.

Drive train systems: Misalignment can cause unnecessary damage to your unit, which is a significant concern in drive train systems. Therefore, you must inspect V-belts and potentially adjust them after roughly 500 hours. You must also replace any belt that shows signs of wear, including fraying.

Lubricants: Lubricants provide the cooling, sealing and protectant your compressor needs. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for specific lubrication applications and when to change the oil. Only use specified lubricants for your model, and always drain old fluid from the system before refilling the unit.

Filters: Implementing adequate filtration is much more cost-effective than paying for repairs when equipment suffers damage due to contaminated air. Inspect the inlet filters often and replace them when needed, generally around every 2,000 hours.

How Do Rotary Screw Air Compressor Work?

The oil injected rotary screw air compressor is a versatile industrial machinery that efficiently converts power into compressed air through a continuous rotary motion. Commonly known as a twin-screw compressor , this type of compressor consists of two rotors, each featuring a set of helical lobes attached to a shaft. One rotor is called the male rotor and the other rotor is the female rotor. The number of lobes on the male rotor, and the number of flutes on the female, will vary from one compressor manufacturer to another. However, the female rotor will always have numerically more valleys (flutes) than the male rotor lobes for better efficiency. Male lobe acts like a continuous piston rolling down the female flute which acts like a cylinder trapping air and reducing space continuously.

 

Features of Rotary Screw Air Compressor

 

Less Moving Parts
A rotary air compressor is not comprised of many moving parts. This is due to the advanced technologies used for producing compressed air. The reduced number of parts call for more efficiency and productivity of the compressor.

Easy Maintenance and Durability
When we talk about rotary air compressors, we always talk of durability. Having said this, this kind of air compressor requires very little maintenance and the lifespan on these air compressors is more. The most important feature of a rotary air compressor is that it can easily stay five to six years more than its other counterparts. Most of the parts of the rotary air compressor comes with a lifespan of ten years and that is an added advantage to this machine.

Low Level of Noise
Industries where already a lot of noises are prevailing, an air compressor which produces low level of noise is always welcome. As compared to other air compressors, rotary air compressor produces less noise and thus, the workers are spared of bearing heavy noises all around.

Minimum Oil Carryover
There is oiled and non-oiled air compressor but when you pick up the oiled rotary air compressor, the oil carryover is minimum. Less oil means less of mess and it is easy to maintain.

Lighter and Portable
Rotary air compressors are ideal for the industries where it needs to be transferred from one place to another. Rotary air compressors are light in weight and they are easily portable.
