At present, the cooling methods of screw air compressors on the market are mainly divided into air-cooled air compressors and water-cooled air compressors. Due to the different cooling methods, their air characteristics will also be different. Let's mainly talk about air-cooled air compressors and their main advantages and disadvantages.

At present, the cooling methods of screw air compressors on the market are mainly divided into air-cooled air compressors and water-cooled air compressors. Due to the different cooling methods, the air characteristics will also be different. Let's mainly talk about air-cooled air compressors and their main advantages and disadvantages.

screw air-cooled air compressor adopts a fin cooler, which blows cold air into the axial flow or centrifugal fan, and conducts heat exchange with hot lubricating oil and hot compressed air through heat exchange to achieve the purpose of cooling.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of screw air-cooled air compressors?

1.Advantages of screw air-cooled air compressor:

is easy to use, no additional auxiliary equipment and resources are required, the compressor is powered on, and it can be used after connecting the pipeline.

2.Disadvantages of screw air-cooled air compressor:

(1) Space should be considered when installing. In order to avoid hot air circulation, a large space for heat dissipation (large space for compressor installation) is required and, if necessary, an air deflation is required, which is suitable for most compressors up to 40 cubic meters.

(2).If the environment is not well cleaned, the heat dissipation surface is easy to be covered by dust, which affects the cooling effect. Therefore, compressed air should be used to blow away dust from the cooler's heat dissipation surface during each equivalent period.
