Working Principle
The LGCY-17/18-18/15TK diesel screw air compressor operates on the positive displacement rotary screw principle. A diesel engine drives the male rotor, which meshes with the female rotor inside the air end. As the rotors turn, air is drawn into the compression chamber through the inlet valve. The decreasing space between the rotors and the housing compresses the air. Oil is injected into the compression chamber to lubricate the rotors, seal clearances, and absorb heat. The oil-air mixture is discharged into a separator tank, where most oil is removed by centrifugal force and the remaining oil is filtered by the separator element. The compressed air then passes through a minimum pressure valve, aftercooler, and final filters before exiting through the air outlet. The intelligent control system monitors pressure and temperature, adjusting the engine speed and inlet valve to match air demand, ensuring efficient operation and fuel savings.
