Auxiliary screw compressors are not afraid of liquid slugging? How is it still possible to spray oil for lubrication into the compression chamber? Isn’t lubricating oil a liquid? . .

The gas in the compression chamber of a screw compressor does not flow freely; instead, it is forced to move by the screws, so even if liquid is present, no liquid slugging will occur.

:Lol, was the wrong type of compressor selected? P-type screw compressors don’t experience liquid slugging.

Piston compressors are afraid of liquid slugging, while screw compressors generally require a cooling fluid

Although screw air compressors are used for compressing air, they can also be regarded as pumps. Lubricating oil plays roles such as lubrication, sealing, and cooling within the internal chambers of the screws, and these factors are taken into account during the design process. After all, unlike dry screw compressors, although dry screw compressors do not require oil for lubrication, they still need lubricating oil to cool down and to lubricate the chamber and bearings; the interior of the chamber consists of layers made of special materials.
