Air compressors
what are air compressors?
Air compressors are machines which consist of compressing the ambient air and storing it in a tank at high pressure used for cleaning components, inflating paints, etc. The utilities of compressed air are many and there are many models of these here we will explain some models.
Types of air compressors
There are many types of air compressors, both fixed speed and variable speed. They obtain their energy from a variety of sources. Although the compression process is virtually the same in all types, their performance, utility and durability vary. It is important to consider the factors that determine the right air compressor for your needs.
Oil-injected screw compressors
Oil-injected screw compressors differ from oil-free screw compressors in that they use oil as part of the compression process. This oil helps to cool the machine, lubricate moving parts and reduce noise.
They can be used to compress air, nitrogen, neutral gases and special gases. The oil-free variants are particularly effective for these gases. In addition, they offer high energy efficiency and can significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
An oil-injected screw compressor uses a proprietary Neos drive, which provides variable-speed drives with a high torque rating. The Neos drive is IP5X rated, which significantly reduces the risk of drive failure in extreme conditions.
Oil-free screw compressors
Oil-free screw compressors are specifically designed for applications requiring high-quality compressed air. Unlike oil-immersed screw air compressors, oil-free compressors feature a two-stage main compression motor.
The main compression mechanism is a multi-lobe coupling screw assembly. The screws are connected by bearings, which are designed to minimize the frictional force between the lobes. The air compressed by these compressors is clean and free of contaminants, making them safer for your employees and the environment.
Oil-free air compressors
Oil-free air compressors have several advantages over their oil-filled counterparts. For starters, oil-free compressors have fewer moving parts, which means less oil needs to be changed.
Compared to oil-filled air compressors, oil-free air compressors do not require oil to operate, and the air supplied is free of foreign contaminants. Oil-free air compressors are becoming increasingly popular with manufacturers because they produce less oil.
They are also more compact and lighter, allowing them to produce the same pressure and air flow as conventional air compressors.
