The working process of a single screw air compressor includes four key steps: suction, compression, exhaust and cooling. The specific information is as follows:
1.Suction process: When the screw rotates, air enters the machine through the air inlet, forming a sealed air bag, and the spiral shape of the screw pushes the air to the other side of the machine.
2.Compression process: The screw continues to rotate, and the air is gradually compressed under the action of the screw and the star wheel. The spiral shape of the screw pushes the air to the outlet of the machine, and the gas temperature and pressure gradually increase.
3.Exhaust process: The compressed gas enters the exhaust chamber through the exhaust valve. After the exhaust valve is opened, the compressed gas is discharged from the machine.
4.Cooling process: The heat generated during the compression process is dissipated through the cooling system to maintain a good working environment and the life of the machine.
The single screw air compressor consists of a cylindrical screw and two symmetrically arranged plane star wheels, which form a meshing pair and are installed in the main housing. The space surrounded by the screw groove, the inner wall of the main housing, and the tooth surface of the star wheel constitutes the working volume of the compressor. There are usually six screw grooves on the screw, and each star wheel divides it into two spaces, upper and lower, which realize the whole process of suction, compression, and exhaust respectively, and are carried out synchronously.
Single screw air compressor has the advantages of large single unit capacity, no clearance volume, reasonable structure, excellent force balance, and long main engine life.
