The role of explosion-proof screw air compressor

The core function of the explosion-proof screw air compressor is to safely provide compressed air in an environment with explosion risk.

In places such as chemical plants, oil and gas fields, flour mills, and coal mines, combustible gas or dust may be floating in the air. If sparks or the surface temperature is too high during the operation of ordinary air compressors, explosions may be caused. The explosion-proof screw air compressor has blocked this risk from the design. Its motor and electrical parts have been specially treated. No open flame will be generated during operation and the casing will not become an ignition source.

Water-lubricated air compressors are particularly suitable in this scenario. Because it uses water instead of oil for lubrication and sealing, it will not produce oil mist during operation, and there is no possibility of oil being ignited. Moreover, the water will continuously take away heat during the circulation process, keeping the temperature of the surface of the machine at a relatively low level, further reducing the risk of igniting the surrounding combustible materials.

Therefore, the role of explosion-proof screw air compressor is to supply gas normally in dangerous environment while ensuring that it will not become the fuse of explosion. Water-lubricated air compressor is born without the flammable factor of oil, which is more reassuring than traditional oil-lubricated machines in explosion-proof scenes, and daily maintenance is simpler.
