Two-stage compressor is an air compressor that uses two independent compression stages to produce compressed air. Each stage uses a separate rotor and compression chamber to compress the air, the first stage compresses the air to an intermediate pressure level and the second stage compresses the air to the final desired pressure level.Compared with single-stage air compressors, two-stage air compressors have many advantages which can save time, energy and money.
During the operation of a screw air compressor, we will meet various abnormal noises, such as metallic impacts, uniform knocking, or harsh noises, which are quite annoying. To solve these problems, we must find the causes and take appropriate measures.
There is a wide variety of lubricating oil types with different performances. Therefore, users should choose appropriately based on the centrifugal air compressor's bearing type, operating speed, load size, and process environment.
After 500 hours of operation, the lubricating oil in the screw air compressor should be changed, and followed by subsequent replacements every 2000 hours.
In the application of air compressors, the issue of compressor exhaust has always been a major concern for users.
Oil-injected compressors have a higher oil content, while oil-free compressors have extremely low oil content, typically around 0.01ppm, making them truly oil-free.
Frequent loading and unloading means that the screw air compressor has a very short interval from loading to unloading, and this cycle is frequent.
If an air compressor experiences oil carryover, it not only causes environmental pollution but also contaminates post-treatment process equipment such as dryers and precision filters. Additionally, it affects product quality and can lead to varying degrees of damage to production line equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the reasons and solutions of high oil consumption in screw compressors.
As an economical air compressor, this article focuses on introducing the supply air principle and the main features of twin-screw air compressors, including easy maintenance, low failure rate, and high level of automation.
