Functional description Figure 1. Screw compressor systems - Schematic diagram 2.4.1 Air circuit 2.4.2 Oil circuit The atmospheric air enters into the airend through the air intake system. The intake filters (pre filter and air filter) The oil in the air-oil separation tank after being separated prevents the entry of foreign particles (such as dust) into is fed into the airend.
2.4.4 Control system Load - Unload Depending on the demand for compressed air from the application at a particular time, the compressor needs to respond accordingly. The compressor, therefore operates in either loading or unloading mode to meet this requirement. The primary objective of these modes is to save energy and reduce wear and tear on the machine.
