Twin-screw compressor

Thread Content

A twin-screw compressor features rotors with a pair of intermeshing spiral teeth that rotate in opposite directions. After the air has had dust or impurities filtered out by the air intake filter, it enters the suction groove volume chamber of the screw air compressor’s head through the air intake control valve. As the male and female rotors move in mesh, the air in this groove volume chamber is gradually compressed. When the air reaches the specified pressure, it is discharged from designated exhaust ports and then flows into the oil-gas separation tank. There, the compressed gas containing oil is separated from most of the oil particles through processes such as collision, interception, and gravity. The mixture then passes through an oil-gas separation core for further separation, resulting in compressed air with very low oil content. Finally, this air is cooled by an air cooler before being discharged, completing the entire process.
