Air Compressor Systems
The Basics
Air compressor systems range from small, portable units to large-scale industrial machines capable of driving entire manufacturing facilities. Making a smart purchasing decision requires educating yourself about the basics of how a compressor works, what models are available, and to which application they are best-suited. Read on to learn more about air compressor systems.
Understanding Air Compressor systems
The purpose of an air compressor system is simple: to pressurize air to a certain level and deliver it in a steady stream. This pressurized air is typically used to power tools and machines or perform certain industrial processes, such as petroleum coking, among many others. The size and configuration of the compressor will determine how you can use it. Our company manufactures and sells the following types of air compressor systems:
Rotary screw: Rotary screw machines are a type of positive displacement compressor that feature a pair of matched helical screws. These screws drive air into a special chamber while at the same time shrinking the size of that chamber, forcing the air to compress.
Reciprocating/piston: Reciprocating compressors are another type of positive displacement machine. Unlike rotary screw compressors, they compress air by using a series of one-way valves to introduce it into a chamber, where the constant motion of a series of pistons compresses it.
Oil-free Scroll: Both reciprocating and rotary screw compressors require lubrication to keep valves and pistons moving. The drawback of this design is that it has the potential to introduce contamination into the system and can lead to increased maintenance requirements. Oil-free compressors are specially designed to meet the working requirements of clean environments, such as pharmaceutical plants and food and beverage manufacturing facilities.
