DESIGN AND FUNCTION
3.1
General description
The compressor is an oil-lubricated, compressing,
single-stage screw compressor with one sound-
proofed enclosure.
The main components are the drive motor, the
compressor stage, the oil circuit and the electronic
control.
Oil is injected into the compressor stage for
lubrication, sealing and cooling.
The rolling bearings and gearbox are lubricated
with oil.
Principle of compression
The compressor stages consist of a main rotor
and a secondary rotor with spiral teeth that mesh
with each other. Compression chambers bounded
by the flanks of the teeth and by the compressor
housing are formed. By rotating the rotors, the
volume of the chambers is continuously reduced,
until the compressed air is forced out the outlet
port of the staged housing. Screw compressors
are rotary forced displacement compressors, with
no oscillating mass but with pulsating output.
Electronic controls
The main components of the electronic control
system are a microprocessor, a touch screen, flat
panel keys, and LEDs.
