How the screw compressor works technically and professionally

If we want to look at the working of the screw compressor in a more specialized way, we must say that after the mixture of oil and air, after compression, it enters the air-oil separator tank. In this separator, as you can guess, oil and air must be separated. This will cause most of the air to be separated from the oil and prepare it for the final use for which it is intended. Of course, oil remains in the filter, but it is interesting to know that we see that this remaining oil is actually absorbed into the air. After this stage, the oil is put under air pressure to be used again for lubrication, more heat absorption and sealing. Of course, keep in mind that the desired oil must be cooled before use.

If you want to understand how screw compressors work, you must have enough information about the air circuit. In fact, the air cycle inside the compressor includes the suction air filter, the air inlet control valve, the air block, the oil-air separator, the minimum pressure valve, and...! In normal and general mode, this cycle is used to suck air in; But in a special case, this cycle can act like a filter and separate air and oil. In fact, very important tasks of the process of using an oil screw compressor depend on its air circuit.

Another component that helps you better understand what a screw compressor is and how it works is the air intake control valve. In fact, this valve has the very important task of controlling the air intake, the task of controlling the air flow. The minimum pressure valve or the Verdi control valve when the valve is open and draws air in, creates an equivalent pressure that can control the situation and pressure.

The last part that we need to know about how a screw compressor works is the oil cycle or oil circuit, which includes an air and oil separator, an oil heat exchanger, an oil filter and a temperature control valve. It might be interesting for you to know that the end part of the air and oil separator filter is the place where the oil collects. The pressure of this section returns the heated oil to the cycle, where the oil is cooled again and used for its intended use.
