Why must the inlet valve of a screw compressor be closed at startup?

The machine here automatically opens the butterfly valve 12 seconds after it is turned on; is this done to prevent excessive load on the compressor when it starts up, or what’s the reason?

Crazy! ! ! Why not open the inlet valve before starting up? It’s truly unheard of. What’s the reason? Learn it, okay.

What does that mean? Do I have to start the machine with no load? As far as I remember, not only needs to the inlet be opened, but some machines also require a certain pressure before they can be started

The inlet valve of the screw compressor should open automatically when it starts up, in order to prevent excessive load on the compressor during startup. Your machine automatically opens the butterfly valve 12 seconds after it is turned on; this delay is way too long. The delay in opening the valve is due to the device being in the unloading mode. As far as I know, the intake valve should open automatically after 3-5 seconds.
