Comparison of oil-free and oil-free screw compressors

2026-04-10Views:

The comparison of oil and oil-free screw compressors can be carried out from the following aspects:

1. lubrication method

oiled screw compressor: lubricating oil is used to lubricate the screw and sliding bearings during the compression process. After filtering and cooling, the lubricating oil is mixed with compressed air and discharged. Therefore, the discharged compressed air will contain a certain amount of oil mist.

Oil-free screw compressor: No lubricating oil is required during the compression process. It uses internal lubrication technology, external high-temperature cooling technology and long-life high-temperature structural materials, thereby reducing the friction and wear between the screw and the screw, the screw and the main shaft. The compressed air discharged is completely oil-free.

2. use occasions and gas quality

oil screw compressor: suitable for industries with high air pressure and gas demand, such as large factories, central air conditioning, etc. However, because the discharged compressed air contains oil mist, it may cause a certain degree of pollution to the working environment and product quality, so it may not be applicable in occasions with particularly high requirements for compressed air quality (such as food, medical, etc.).

Oil-free screw compressor: environmental protection and energy saving, no pollution, suitable for areas with high requirements for compressed air quality, such as hospitals, food manufacturing, etc. Its output of compressed air purity, no need to worry about oil mist on the working environment and product pollution.

3. maintenance and costs

oil screw compressor: The lubricating oil needs to be replaced regularly, so the maintenance cost is relatively high. At the same time, the discharge of oil mist also needs to be properly handled.

Oil-free screw compressor: Since there is no need to add lubricating oil, the maintenance costs related to oil are reduced. However, due to its relatively complicated operation and construction, it may cause relatively high maintenance costs in other aspects.

4. other considerations

noise: Oil-free screw compressors may produce loud noise when in use, and special attention should be paid to noise-sensitive environments.

Applicability: Oil-free screw compressors are mainly suitable for compressing gas, but not if hydraulic compression is required. The application range of oil screw compressor is relatively wider.

In summary, oil and oil-free screw compressors have their own advantages and disadvantages. Which type of compressor to choose depends on the specific application requirements and occasions.
