How Air Flows In Electric Screw Air Compressor?

By Prasanna Sutrave

In my previous post,you come to know about the working of Electric Screw Air Compressor in general.This post will increase your knowledge abour the Air Flow in Compressor.

The Air is drawn in by the Compressor through a two stage dry type Air Cleaner where the dirt particles are seperated from the Air by Filter Elements.

The Air then flows into the Rotor Casing from where it enters the Interlobe space of the Rotors Axially.The Rotor rotate so that the Interlobe space opens progressively from Inlet to Outlet.

This phase corresponds with the Suction Stroke of a Reciprocating Air Compressor.When the Interlobe space is filled,it is isolated from the Suction Chamber by continued rotation.

The volume of the Interlobe space is reduced as meshing progresses from Inlet to Outlet.The Air cannot yet escape as long as the Compression continues and also until the tips and the flanks of the lobes have passed the stationary edges arranged at the Discharge End of the Rotor Casing.

During the Compression process,Oil is injected through the lower gusset of the Compressor Casing.The Oil not only absorbs the Heat produced during the Compression but also Seals the gap between the Rotors.

After the passing the stationary edges,the Discharge commensces.the Interlobe space is reduced more and more until its Volume is almost zero at the Delivery End,and subsequently escapes through the Discharge Port.

This process is repeated in each following Interlobe space of the two Rotors,and practically continuous and even the Air flow is produced by the rapid succession of the various Discharge Phases.

The Air-Oil mixture leaving the Compression Chamber through Air Discharge Valve is directed to an Air-Oil Receiver where most of the Oil is seperated from the Air.

The Air still containing Oil passes from the Air-Oil Receiver through an Oil Seperator in which the Oil Mist is removed and then it passes to Outlet Service Valve through Minimum Pressure Valve.

The Oil flow in electric Screw Air Compressor is also important as above Air flow.

How Oil will Flow in Screw Air Compressor? Wait for next post.
