How Do Rotary Screw Air Compressors Work?

Rotary screw compressors operate on a principle of positive displacement, utilizing two intermeshing helical rotors within a compression chamber. As ambient air is drawn in through an air filter, it passes through an inlet valve into the compression chamber where the rotating rotors trap and compress the air by reducing the volume of the spaces between their lobes. In oil-lubricated models, oil is injected to lubricate the rotors, cool the compressed air, and seal gaps between the rotors. The air-oil mixture then moves to a separator tank where the oil is extracted and recirculated, and the cooled compressed air is delivered to an air receiver tank or directly to the application, often passing through an aftercooler to reduce temperature and remove moisture. Equipped with advanced control systems, these compressors ensure efficient, reliable, and continuous operation, making them ideal for various industrial applications.

Advantages of Rotary Screw Compressors

Continuous Operation
Rotary screw compressors can operate continuously without the need for frequent shutdowns, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications.

Efficiency
They are highly efficient, providing a consistent compressed air flow with minimal energy loss.

Low Maintenance
With fewer moving parts and robust design, rotary screw compressors require less maintenance compared to other types of compressors.

Quiet Operation
They operate more quietly than reciprocating compressors, making them suitable for use in noise-sensitive environments.

ELGi Electric Screw Air Compressors

The Electric lubricated screw compressor fulfills the requirement of high reliability for small spaces with four models EG, EQ, EV and EN Series.

Because its components and connections are integrated, the EN series boasts a space-saving and compact design that is powered by ELGi energy efficiency and zero leakages. Furthermore, by minimizing operational pressure dips, reducing space, and enabling silent operation, the unique component assembly facilitates the production process.

The EN series oil-lubricated screw air compressors provide efficient air-oil separation and highly efficient belt drive transmission.

EG SERIES

The eco-friendly energy-efficient electric lubricated screw compressor is robust and reliable. They are designed to perform at extreme temperatures- from cold to hot and from dry to extremely humid conditions.

Lubricated Air Compressor- Maintenance Tips

• Check the oil level regularly in your compressor’s pump and top it up if necessary. After a few hundred hours of use, change the oil.
• Inspect for unusual noises or vibrations, if you have an air receiver tank, drain water from the tank.
• Check for air leaks or use a soapy solution to check connections and seals. To maintain the smooth operation of your compressor, adjust or replace them as needed. Drain condensate from tanks.
• Inspect the belts and pulleys for wear and tear, looseness, or cracks. To maintain the smooth operation of your compressor, adjust or replace them as needed.
• Schedule professional maintenance and inspections with a qualified technician regularly.
