The basic principle of oil-free rotary screw machine

Oil-free rotary screw machine is a type of compressor that does not require lubricant for lubrication and cooling. Its operating mechanism is slightly different from that of traditional oiled screw compressors. Oil-free screw compressors compress air through two intermeshing screws. The specific operation process is as follows:

Air intake: When the screw starts to rotate, air is sucked into the compression chamber of the compressor through the air inlet. Compression process: As the screw rotates, the air is sandwiched in the space between the two screws. As the screw rotates, the volume of the compression chamber gradually decreases, the air is compressed, and the pressure increases. Exhaust process: When the air is compressed to a certain extent, the compressed air is released through the exhaust port and enters the air storage tank or delivery system.

The design of oil-free screw compressors eliminates the need for lubricant, which is mainly achieved by using high-output performance materials and sophisticated mechanical design. The screw in the compression chamber is usually made of wear-resistant materials and can run for a long time without oil.

The use case of oil-free screw compressors in dry bulk transportation by road tank trucks not only improves transportation operating efficiency and equipment reliability, but also has important environmental and economic significance. Through oil-free design, this type of compressor not only complies with environmental regulations and reduces operating expenses, but also provides pure compressed air, ensuring the quality of materials and the cleanliness of the transportation process.
