Does the air compressor without oil and water lubrication need a water tower?

Granklin Water Lubricated Screw Air Compressor Cooling System Configuration Description

grantklin water-lubricated screw air compressor adopts innovative water lubrication technology to realize lubrication and cooling of the compression chamber through water film. In view of the user's question about whether the equipment needs to be configured with a water tower, professional instructions are made from the perspective of technical principles and practical applications:

design and Analysis of 1. Equipment Cooling System

1. closed-loop water circulation structure
   the equipment has a built-in high-efficiency heat exchanger, and the cooling water is driven by a water pump to circulate between the compression chamber and the radiator. The heat generated in the compression process is absorbed by the water film, and then flows back after heat exchange between the radiator and the air, forming a self-circulating cooling system. The design does not require an external water source or water tower, and only periodically replenishes the water lost due to evaporation.

2. intelligent temperature control system
   the equipment is equipped with a temperature sensor and a frequency conversion controller to monitor the exhaust temperature in real time and automatically adjust the pump speed. When the load changes, the system optimizes the water flow and heat dissipation efficiency, and stably controls the operating temperature in the best range of 50-60 ℃ to avoid the risk of overheating.

3. Heat dissipation efficiency guarantee
   the radiator adopts aluminum fin structure, combined with forced air cooling design, to ensure effective heat dissipation at 40 ℃ ambient temperature. According to the actual measurement, the heat dissipation capacity of the single machine can meet the demand of continuous operation without additional cooling device.

Applicable scenarios of 2. water tower configuration
under the following special conditions, it is recommended to add an external cooling system:

1. high temperature environment application
   when the equipment is operated for a long time in places with ambient temperature> 40 ℃ (such as metallurgical workshop), a small cooling tower can be installed to assist in heat dissipation to ensure that the exhaust temperature is less than or equal to 80 ℃.

2. multi-parallel system
   for gas supply stations with more than 3 sets of equipment, it is recommended to configure a centralized cooling tower to improve the overall heat dissipation efficiency by reducing the circulating water temperature, and the energy consumption of a single device can be reduced by 8%-12%.

3. water quality hardening area
   in areas where the scale generation rate is> 0.5mm/year, softened water treatment devices or closed cooling towers need to be installed to prevent efficiency attenuation caused by waterway blockage.

3. Economy and Maintenance Comparison

4. selection recommendations

1. conventional condition: 90% of the application scenarios do not need to configure the water tower, and the closed-loop cooling system of the equipment can operate stably.
2. Special needs: For environments with high temperature, centralized gas supply or poor water quality, it is recommended to choose a matching cooling scheme. Grankering can provide customized system design services.

Grantklin water lubricated screw air compressor realizes the integrated design of cooling system through technological innovation, which not only ensures stable operation, but also reduces the investment of supporting facilities for users. Enterprises can choose the cost-effective configuration scheme according to the actual working conditions to ensure the long-term reliable operation of the equipment.
