Air Compressors Two Types • Positive Displacement – Reciprocating – Rotary Screw • Dynamic – Centrifugal – Axial flow Rotary Screw Compressors Rotary Screw Compressors • “Direct Injection”, “Oil-injected”, “Direct- cooled”, “Flooded” – Various names are suggestive of the direct contact of lubricating/cooling oil onto the rotating screw parts – Requires a separator just after compression to remove oil from the compressed air • “Oil-free”, “Oil-less”, “Dry” compressors also available (food industry, hospitals, etc.) Animations • /watch?v=g8VpnTR WESQ • /watch?v=WFZ1bhF Eh2U • /watch?v=zQd- BTxNQHU Due to overlapping and continuous compression cycles, the rotary screw design generates virtually no vibration. Disturbing noise is minimized, providing a wider choice for the units location on the vehicle.
