How Do Oil Free Air Compressors Work?
What is an oil-free air compressor?
An oil-free air compressor, as the name suggests, is a type of air compressor that does not use oil for lubrication. Instead, it employs materials that can withstand the friction and heat caused by the compressor’s moving parts. This results in a compressor that is cleaner and less maintenance-intensive, making it suitable for various industries that require high-purity compressed air.
How Do Oil Free Air Compressors Work?
Principle of Operation
The operation of an oil-free air compressor is based on the principle of ‘positive displacement’. This means that a certain volume of air is captured and then compressed in a confined space. The basic steps involved in the operation of an oil-free air compressor are as follows:
- The air is drawn into the compressor’s cylinder.
- The piston within the cylinder compresses the air.
- The compressed air is then released into the output system.
Types of Oil-Free Air Compressors
There are several types of oil-free air compressors, including piston type, scroll type, and diaphragm type. Each type has its own specific mode of operation, but the basic principle remains the same – the air is compressed without the use of oil for lubrication.
