OPPAIR Air-cooled Air Compressor and Oil-cooled Air Compressor

1. The principle of air cooling and oil cooling

Air cooling and oil cooling are two different cooling methods, which are widely used in various industrial equipment, especially in the field of screw air compressors, where their effects are particularly obvious.

Air cooling, as the name implies, relies on air flow to achieve cooling effect. During the operation of the rotary air compressor, the fan takes away the heat generated by the air compressors through forced convection, thereby reducing the operating

Oil cooling dissipates heat through circulating oil. The oil circulates inside the screw air compressor, absorbs heat, and then

releases the heat to the outside through the radiator.

2.Advantages of air cooled and oil cooled

Advantages of air-cooled rotary screw air compressors

Because air-cooled screw air compressors do not use oil coolers, there is no oil leakage problem, the structure is simple, and maintenance is more convenient. At the same time, because there is no use of coolant, the cost of maintenance and replacement can be reduced. In terms of energy saving, air-cooled hava kompresr are more energy-saving than oil-cooled screw air compressors and can work better under low temperature conditions.

Advantages of oil-cooled screw air compressors

Because the oil cooled system is used, the screw air compressor can be better cooled and can work stably for a long time. Inside the screw air compressor, the use of oil cooling can lubricate and cool various components, which can ensure that the compresores de aire is more stable and has a long life. At the same time, oil-cooled rotary air compressors are more suitable for working in high temperature environments than air-cooled air screw compressors.

3. Applicable environment

‌Oil-cooled screw air compressor

Applicable to occasions with high requirements for cooling effect, especially in high temperature or high humidity environment, the oil cooling system can provide a more stable cooling effect and extend the life of the equipment‌

‌Air-cooled screw air compressor

‌: Applicable to occasions where the ambient temperature does not change much and water resources are scarce. The air cooling system does not require additional water resources and has a lower maintenance cost, but the cooling effect is not as good as the oil cooling system‌

4. Maintenance cost

‌Oil-cooled screw air compressor‌: It is necessary to regularly replace the lubricating oil and check the lubrication system to ensure the cleanliness and performance of the lubricating oil. The maintenance cost is relatively high, but it can provide a more stable cooling effect and a longer equipment life.

‌Air-cooled screw air compressor‌: The maintenance cost is low, and only the cleanliness of the fan and radiator needs to be checked regularly. However, due to the poor cooling effect, more frequent maintenance may be required to ensure the normal operation of the air compressor
