Main Components

- Air intake filter and valve
- Oil separator tank
- Cooling system (radiator and oil cooler)
- Intelligent control panel
- Four-wheel mobile chassis with tow bar
- Weatherproof canopy and service doors
Working Principle
The Kaishan LGCY-19/21-21/18K works by converting diesel engine power into compressed air through a rotary screw airend. Ambient air enters the compressor through an intake filter and is mixed with oil inside the airend. Two intermeshing screws rotate to trap and compress the air-oil mixture, reducing volume and increasing pressure. The compressed mixture then passes into an oil separator, where most of the oil is removed and returned to the system for lubrication and cooling. The separated compressed air flows through an aftercooler and minimum pressure valve before reaching the discharge outlet. A control system monitors pressure, temperature, and engine parameters, adjusting the intake valve to match air demand. The dual-pressure capability is achieved by regulating the discharge pressure to either 21 bar or 18 bar, depending on the application. This design provides continuous, efficient air delivery with low vibration and long service life, making the unit suitable for mobile, heavy-duty field work.
