How to Choose Water-cooled vs. Air-cooled for air Compressors?

The air compressor generates a lot of heat in the process of compressing the gas, there are several ways to cool the air compressor: Air-cooled Compressor Water-cooled compressor Open systems without circulating water (connected to an external water supply)  Open systems with circulating water (cooling tower)  Closed systems with circulating water (including an external heat

Variable-speed VS. Fixed-speed Air Compressor

More and more people choose or update a VSD (Variable speed drive) or VFD (Variable frequency drive) air compressor for their industry. What are the benefits of a VSD air compressor compared with a Fixed-speed air compressor? Is a VSD compressor the right choice for your facility? What is a Variable

Oil-free VS Oil-injected Screw Air Compressor

What is the difference between an oil-free and oil-lubricated air compressor? The difference is the oil content in compressed air. For the Class 0 oil-free air compressor, we use water as the lubricating medium instead of oil(Water-injected oil-free single-screw air compressor) or use no lubricating medium(Dry oil-free double twin-screw air compressor), so there

Water-injected Oil-free VS Dry Oil-free Screw Air Compressor

In recent decades, there has been more and more research on the oil-free screw air compressor. According to the type of lubrication, the Screw type air compressor has two kinds: the water-lubricated single-screw type and the dry twin-screw type. For the Dry oil-free screw air compressor, most are twin-screw air compressors. Water-lubricated oil-free screw air

Single-screw VS Twin-screw Air Compressor

When it comes to the screw type air compressor, generally, there are two kinds, single-screw type and twin-screw(or double-screw) type. We will make a comparison between these two kinds of air compressors. Differences Single-screw air compressor Twin-screw air compressor Structure A screw rotor and two symmetrically starwheels. The screw

Screw VS Piston Air Compressor

In recent years, screw air compressors have gradually replaced piston type air compressors. They become the mainstream in the air compressor market. The following mainly introduces the difference between screw type and piston type. Differences Screw air compressor Piston air compressor Scope of application The widest scope of application. The large scope

What Compressor Size do I Need?

An appropriate selection is beneficial to both the end-user and the compressor equipment. A too-large selection is too wasteful. A too-small selection may lead to the compressor in a long-term loading state or insufficient airflow or pressure. The pressure and flow requirements for your facility are essential when choosing an air compressor.

Some questions to ask yourself before buying an air compressor

For buying an air compressor, how to choose the right one for your industry? you should ask yourself these questions: What is the compressed air applied to? How much flow does my facility use? What is the pressure of my facility need? What is the compressed air quality you need? Do

The relationship between air compressor pressure, flow and power

With constant power, when the rotation speed changes, the flow and pressure also change. For example, a 22KW air compressor: when the pressure is determined to be 7 bar, the airflow is 3.7 m3 / min. when the pressure is determined to be 8 bar, the airflow is 3.4 m3

What is the compressed air quality you need?

First of all, we should know which contaminants can we find in compressed Air? Compressed air contains substances such as water, oil, and dust. That may contaminate the final products and even increase costs. So we should choose oil-free or oil-lubricated type air compressor first, then use air treatment such as dryers and filters
