Due to the contact between the mechanical components during rotation, lubrication with a certain medium is required.
For an oil-injected air compressor, the air end is lubricated with lubricating oil. Air and oil are mixed and compressed in the air end, resulting in compressed air with oil.
The oil-free air compressor is lubricated with water instead of oil. Water is injected into the air end and compressed with air, serving the functions of lubrication, sealing, and cooling. The mixture is separated through a water gas separation tank, supplying pure oil-free compressed air.
CMN, as an oil-free compressor supplier, products include screw-type compressors and scroll-type compressor.
In a screw air compressor, the air end consists of a main screw and two-star wheels. Air filtered through an air filter is sucked into the air end, and the motor drives the air end to rotate. During the rotation, the volume of the compression chamber formed by the screw and star wheels continuously decreases, compressing the air to the high-pressure end. The compressed air then enters the water gas separation tank for centrifugal separation, compressed air is discharged through the minimum pressure valve.
The scroll air end is composed of a stationary disk and a moving disk, forming a compression chamber.
