The principle of air compressor

Air compressor are mechanical devices that convert electrical energy or other forms of energy into gas pressure and are widely used in industrial applications. They air compressor through different mechanical working principles to provide the required pressure and flow. Currently, Haosail offers belt-driven screw air compressors, direct-driven screw air compressor, and Italian-style air compressor.

Here is a detailed introduction to several common types of air compressor available on the market:

**Piston Air Compressor**

The piston air compressor is the most traditional type of compressor, with its working principle based on the reciprocating motion of a piston within a cylinder. This reciprocating motion can be driven by a crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism or other mechanical devices. During the intake stroke, the piston moves backward, creating a vacuum in the cylinder, drawing in air; during the compression stroke, the piston pushes forward, compressing the air in the cylinder and increasing its pressure, which is finally expelled through the exhaust valve as high-pressure air.

**Screw Air Compressor**

Screw compressors use two inter meshing screws, typically referred to as the male and female screws, to compress air. As the screws rotate, air is drawn in at the suction end of the screw and continuously compressed through the compression process, eventually being expelled through the exhaust port. Screw compressors can provide a continuous and stable supply of compressed air, operate smoothly, and produce low noise, making them suitable for applications requiring continuous air supply and higher noise standards.

**Centrifugal Air Compressor**

Centrifugal compressors use high-speed rotating impellers to increase the velocity of gas molecules, converting kinetic energy into pressure energy. These compressors are suitable for high-flow applications, such as large factories and power plants. The advantages of centrifugal compressors include high efficiency, high flow rate, and relatively low maintenance costs.

**Vane and Scroll Air Compressor**

Vane compressors use a rotor and multiple vanes inside a cylinder that rotate, with the vanes held against the inner wall of the cylinder by centrifugal force as the rotor turns. The reduction in volume between the vane and cylinder wall compresses the air. Scroll compressors use two inter meshing scrolls, one fixed and one rotating, to compress air through the relative motion of the scrolls. These compressors are typically used in applications with medium flow rates and pressures.

**Air Compressor Maintenance

*Maintenance Suggestions

The safety valve is preset before leaving the factory. If adjustment is necessary, it should be done under the guidance of local labor safety departments or supplier maintenance personnel to avoid adverse outcomes.

①Weekly:

a. Check for any abnormal sounds and leaks in the unit.

b. Verify that the instrument readings are correct.

c. Ensure the temperature display is normal.

②Monthly:

a. Inspect for rust or looseness inside the machine. Remove rust, apply oil or paint if rusted, and tighten any loose parts.

b. Drain the condensed water.

③Every three months:

a. Clean the exterior of the cooler and the fan cover and blades.

b. Add lubricating oil to the motor bearings.

c. Check for any aging or cracking of hoses.

d. Inspect electrical components and clean the electrical control box.
