HOW TO OPERAte a screw compressor and reciprocating compressors in series?

Your reciprocating compressors have to be the booster compressors (if running on low temp system)feeding its discharge to the suction of the screw(not directly)(if running on medium temp.


Why is a scroll compressor more efficient than a reciprocating compressor?

The scroll compressor is one that has spirals rotating into each other. The screw compressor is where two spirals are rotating in opposite directions.


What is the difference between centrifugal compressor and screw compressors?

A rotary compressor is like a car engine, with pistons, rods, sleeves, valves, etc. A screw compressor has two screw type rotating parts that squeeze the refrigerant as the screw threads get tighter and tighter. They have long life potential.


What is the difference between screw chiller and reciprocating chillers?

screw is low maintenance than reciprocating reciprocating is more saving for power supply the compressors in screw is semehermatic but in reciprocating is open


What type of compressor trap the gas for compression?

scroll type compressor


Where do you put the oil in a compressor?

In the reciprocating compressors, you fill the crank case with the lubricante. In screw compressors, there is a reservoir to separate oil from compressed air, that reservoir works as the oil sump of the screw compressor. in big centrifugal compressor oil is placed in an oil tank, and than is pumped to bearing casings by means of mechanical or electrical pump.


What are the parts of refrigeration compressor?

The parts of a hermetic (sealed) reciprocating compressor is as follows; motor, crankshaft, bearings, valves, and pressure relief valve and piston(s). there are other smaller parts that can be named but these are the main players. The hermetic scroll compressor is a little different than the reciprocating compressor because it uses an orbiting scroll and a stationary scroll to compress the refrigerant instead of pistons. This is why a scroll compressor cannot run "backwards". The scroll compressor also has an oil pick up tube which differs from a reciprocating compressor. Now a "semi-hermetic" compressor is build like a small engine. It has an oil pump, reed valve plate, unloaders, pistons, bearings, etc. A screw compressor is in a class all to itself.

Where can one purchase a rotary screw compressor?

You can purchase a rotary screw compressor from the Compressor World website. Alternatively, you can also purchase this item from the BuyQuincy website.


Can we prefer screw compressor over centrifugal compressor for ammonai or CO2 service?

no we can,t use the screw comressor over the centrifugal copressor because for higher pressure we need closed area like closed impeeler which is not in screw compressor


How the compressed air produced?

Compressed air is produced by using a compressor to increase the pressure of the air by reducing its volume. This can be done through various methods such as reciprocating, rotary screw, or centrifugal compressors. The compressed air is then stored in a tank or used directly for various applications.
