Does the air compressor system need tap water?

Whether the air compressor system needs tap water should be judged in combination with its lubrication and cooling mode. Granklin water lubricated single screw air compressor as an example, its operation depends on water as a lubrication and sealing medium, as follows:

1. Water demand of water lubricated air compressor
granklin air compressor adopts dynamic water film lubrication technology, and realizes the sealing and lubrication between screw and star wheel by replacing traditional lubricating oil with water. Therefore, the operation of the system requires a continuous supply of clean water to maintain water film stability and compression efficiency.

2. Specific requirements for water sources

• water Quality Requirements: It is recommended to use pure water or softened tap water to avoid the deposition of impurities (such as sediment and metal ions) in the pipeline or compression chamber, resulting in blockage or wear.
• Water quantity control: The system shall be equipped with a water storage tank and a circulation device to ensure that the water volume is stable and cyclically updated to avoid the deterioration of water quality affecting the lubrication effect.

3. Precautions for the use of tap water
if the direct use of tap water, need to pay attention to the following issues:

• scale risk when the hardness of tap water is high, long-term operation may cause scaling of the waterway system, and it is necessary to clean or install water softening devices regularly.
• Impurity filtration: It is recommended to install a pre-filter to remove suspended particles in tap water and ensure the purity of the water film.

4. Granklin air compressor water advantage
granklin water lubricated single screw air compressor is suitable for various clean water sources through precision waterway design and stainless steel parts. Its dynamic water film technology can effectively disperse friction heat while avoiding oily medium pollution, especially suitable for scenes with strict air quality requirements.

In summary, Granklin water-lubricated air compressor needs to rely on clean water to maintain operation, but through reasonable water quality treatment and system maintenance, the equipment can be guaranteed to operate efficiently and stably.
