Construction Features and Advantages

• In the screw injector, the screws press and rub against each other. And when this happens, it results in heat. Heat isn’t always a good thing. Especially not in this case. You stop things from becoming too hot with a coolant.

• In the case of a screw compressor, you usually use oil as a coolant. The oils circulate between the screws and around the rest of the compression chamber. Everything is kept that little bit cooler at a comfortable 80°C. Your compressor will maintain this temperature regardless of load and pressure.

• There are other benefits too. When there’s oil circulating around, your compressor will operate more quietly and suffer less wear and tear. Exactly what you want.

• Air compressors generally compress air in one of two different ways. The first is to use a piston that squashes – or compresses – the air into a smaller and smaller area. You do this with what is called – believe it or not – a piston compressor.

• The gap between the threads becomes smaller and smaller as the air travels further along the screws. This means it is compressed more and more. Clever stuff. What is the name of this type of compressor? There are two usually used. First up: screw compressor. If you’ve been following, you’ll understand why it’s also known as a rotary-screw compressor.
