- Oil cooler and aftercooler
- Electronic control panel
- Fuel tank
- Battery and starting system
- Towbar and chassis with brakes
Working Principle
The Kaishan LGCY-19/21-21/18 operates on the principle of positive displacement rotary screw compression. Air is drawn through a heavy-duty filter into the first-stage screw element, where it is compressed to an intermediate pressure. The air then passes through a cooling system before entering the second-stage screw element, where it is further compressed to the final working pressure. The two-stage design reduces thermal load and improves efficiency. The compressed air then flows through an aftercooler and moisture separator before exiting the discharge port. The screw elements are driven by a diesel engine via a coupling or gearbox. An electronic control unit monitors pressure, temperature, and engine speed, adjusting the intake valve to match air demand. This ensures stable output and minimizes fuel consumption. The oil circuit lubricates and seals the screws, and the oil is cooled and filtered for reuse. The entire system is mounted on a portable chassis, making it easy to move between job sites.
