How to choose a screw air compressor?
When many customers choose a screw air compressor, they don't know how to choose a screw air compressor. Now let we introduce it for you.
There are two types of screw air compressors: twin-screw and single-screw. Twin-screw air compressors are commonly used in the market now, and twin-screws are more reasonable and stable in design.
When using a screw air compressor, you need to consider these four aspects: the speed of the screw air compressor, the operating temperature of the screw air compressor, the lubrication method of the screw air compressor, and the operating environment of the screw air compressor.The specific content is as follows:
1.Consider the speed of the screw air compressor
The speed is an important parameter of the screw air compressor. It is not good if the speed is too high, and it is not good if it is too low. If the speed of the air compressor is too high, the rotor cannot withstand it, and the service life of the air compressor will be greatly reduced; if the speed is too low, the exhaust volume and exhaust pressure will not meet the requirements of the working conditions, and there will be serious "oil leakage" .
2.Consider the working temperature of the screw air compressor
The working temperature refers to the ambient temperature where the air compressor is working. If the temperature of the working environment is relatively high, corresponding cooling measures should be taken. At the same time, lubricating oil with high viscosity and high flash point is selected; the ambient temperature is low, and there will be no bad effects.
When the air compressor is started at a very low temperature (below 0°C), you need to pay attention, be careful that the lubricating oil condenses inside.
3.Consider the lubrication method of screw air compressor
The lubrication method of screw air compressor can be divided into two types: oil lubrication and oil-free lubrication.
Oil-lubricated screw air compressors are commonly used in the market, which can meet almost all kinds of air demand through post-processing equipment; while oil-free screw compressors are relatively expensive, and are suitable for industries that require high compressed air quality. Such as medicine, food, etc.
4.Consider the use environment of the screw air compressor
The use environment of the air compressor mainly refers to the site selection and establishment of the air compressor station. The air compressor should be placed in a well-ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight and rain; it is built on hard soil On the top, there is a certain distance between the walls and the top; the relative humidity of the air should be low, and there should be less dust and impurities.
