The oil-lubricated screw air compressors work on the principle of drawing air into the storage tank with a screw that requires oil to run the production process. The oil-lubricated air compressors are efficient, reliable, quieter, and last longer.
ELGi offers a wide range of technologically advanced oil-lubricated rotary screw air compressors available in two variants- EN series and EG series oil lubricated air compressor that find application in various small to large industries.
The oil-lubricated air compressor works on the principle that when the impeller rotates, a piston in a cylinder is driven to reciprocate. The airflow into and out of an air compressor has three critical factors: pressure, volume, and velocity. Oil lubrication prevents wear on high-speed rotating parts at high temperatures to ensure maximum efficiency. The most common type of oil lubricated air compressor is the rotary screw air compressor.
The oil-lubricated air compressors are more efficient, reliable, and less noisy. The oil in these air compressors helps lubricate and cool down the compressed air. The oil-lubricated air compressors ensure reliable delivery of compressed air and are suitable for heavy-duty, industrial applications that require or can tolerate low levels of oil, such as heavy drilling and mining, metallurgy, etc.
Several industries like petroleum, paper mills, wood pulp, galvanised steel, and cement rely on oil-lubricated air compressors for their operations. Air compressors are an integral part of the production process in such industries, and any stoppage due to compressor failure may cause heavy losses. Hence, these industries rely on oil-lubricated air compressors that ensure longer life in such critical applications.
