Construction and operation principle:
- Rotors:
The screw compressor consists of two rotors (main and auxiliary) of different shapes rotating in opposite directions inside the housing.
- Suction and compression:
Air is drawn into the space between the rotors and the housing. The rotating rotors reduce the volume of these spaces, leading to air compression.
- Oil injection:
Many screw compressors (especially those with higher efficiency) use oil for cooling, lubrication, and sealing the working spaces.
- Blowout:
The compressed air is then expelled from the compressor block for further piping.
