Working Principle
The Kaishan KSCY-400/14.5K operates on the rotary screw principle. A diesel engine drives the male and female rotors inside the air end. As the rotors mesh, air is trapped in the spaces between them and progressively compressed as the volume decreases. Oil is injected into the compression chamber to lubricate, seal, and cool the process. The compressed air-oil mixture then passes through a separator, where oil is removed and returned to the system. The clean air is cooled by an aftercooler before exiting through the discharge valve. A microprocessor controller regulates engine speed and compressor loading to match air demand, optimizing fuel efficiency. This continuous process ensures a steady supply of compressed air with minimal pulsation.
