Comparison of dry oil-free air compressor and water lubricated air compressor

2026-04-10Views:

For medicine, food, semiconductor, chemical industry, fermentation and other industries, oil-free and clean compressed air must be the first choice. Oil-free oil-free screw air compressor, water-lubricated oil-free screw air compressor, oil-free scroll air compressor and oil-free centrifugal air compressor are common oil-free. Today, compare two types of oil-free screw air compressors-dry oil-free and water lubrication.

First:

the single screw water lubricated air compressor uses pure water for lubrication and cooling, and the internal parts combination of the body is made of special material medical grade stainless steel, which will never corrode.

Dry oil-free air compressor still depends on lubricating oil to cool, the body will produce oil smell.

Second:

the pure water of the water-lubricated air compressor system has been circulating in the system. The system will automatically change the water at a set time to ensure the quality of the water, and the operating temperature of the body is not higher than 50 degrees, so the water is not affected inside the body. And scale problems.

The operating temperature of the dry-type oil-free machine is very high, which exceeds 200 degrees, which directly affects the life of the cooling oil and the bearing.

Third:

the single-screw water-lubricated oil-free machine adopts imported special bearings, so there is no problem with direct water lubrication, high efficiency, low head noise, and few bearing combinations.

Twin-screw air compressors generally use FAG or SKF bearings, which are low-temperature bearings with short service life and high noise, and there are many combinations of double head bearings.

Fourth:

single screw water lubricated air compressor is directly sprayed with pure water in the body. Due to the high specific calorific value of water, the compression chamber is almost in the ideal state of isothermal compression and the compression process with the lowest energy consumption.

Dry-type oil-free cooling oil is about 100 degrees, the temperature of the compression chamber exceeds 200 degrees, and the temperature difference is relatively large, so the energy consumption is relatively high.

Fifth:

single-screw water-lubricated oil-free machine, the body and the motor are directly connected, the speed is low below 3000 rpm, there is no speed-increasing gear, the bearing life is long, and the maintenance cost is low.

The dry-type oil-free machine body needs to add a speed-increasing gear to the middle of the motor, because the speed is higher than 18000 revolutions, the speed-increasing gear needs to be increased, the bearing life is short, and the maintenance cost is high.

Sixth:

the water-lubricated air compressor uses water to cool the lubrication seal, the air quality is guaranteed, and the speed is about 3000 rpm. The temperature is about 55 degrees, and the maintenance cost is low.

The dry twin-screw air compressor uses oil to cool the bearings. The air quality cannot be completely clean and environmentally friendly. The two-stage compression speed reaches about 18000 rpm, which consumes labor and the temperature reaches about 200 degrees. It is unsafe and has high maintenance costs.
