A compressor unit is equipment that is used to produce compressed gases. Stations of this type are used in enterprises for the operation of pneumatic tools.
There are many models with cooling systems. It is also worth noting that the modifications differ in performance. Some stations focus on nitrogen. Compressors are used in different types.
The main advantages of models
Among the advantages of the models it is worth noting the low energy consumption. It is also important to mention the environmental friendliness of devices. Stations are able to work with various pneumatic tools. Many models are equipped with gas analysis systems.
Device disadvantages
Among the disadvantages of the devices, it is worth mentioning the large dimensions. Models must not be used at subzero temperatures. It is also worth noting that the stations are constantly in need of maintenance. This requires a specialized compressor unit operator. Jobs can not be found in all cities.
User's manual
Installation of the compressor unit is carried out in compliance with fire safety rules. Separators are refueled to use the station. The tank in this case is filled with water. Before turning on the model, refrigerators are checked, the compartment for waste oil opens. The pipe is connected via a pump. The collector at the station needs to be cleaned, check the intake tank. Compressor installation instructions for models may vary.
Types of modifications
Allocate gas and air compressor units. The installation rules for them are very different. By design, you can find stationary and mobile modifications. If we consider compressors, then there are piston, rotational and screw mechanisms. They differ in power and ultimate pressure.
Gas models
Gas modifications are made with several compressors. The power indicator starts at 4 kW. Models are able to work on circulation pumps. Compressor units are only operated at positive temperature.
Water tanks are used in different sizes. Fans are used to cool the units. Controllers for devices are suitable electronic type. If we talk about the benefits, it is important to note the low oil consumption. Also, models have a temperature control unit. The limiting pressure at the stations starts from 3 bar. The models have good performance. If we talk about the shortcomings, then experts point to a low operating temperature. Collectors are suitable for screw type only. Models need to be maintained, therefore, the compressor driver must ensure their operation.
Air devices
Aerial installations are most often used to operate pneumatic equipment. The models have a very high suction power. It is also worth noting that the stations are made with cooling systems of different classes. They do not have water tanks. Collectors are installed chamber type. Refrigerators are made only with sprinklers. Many models are very large. However, there are also mobile devices.
If we talk about the shortcomings, then it is worth mentioning the release of a large amount of condensate. Models have problems with overheating of channels. It is also worth noting that gas installations need frequent tinning. Compressors are most often used in circulation type, and the power indicator starts from 4 bar.
Stationary models
Stationary modifications are able to work with large cooling tanks. Separators are used with capacitive containers. Directly compressors are allowed to use different types. The average power of the plants starts from 5 kW, and the maximum pressure is 2 bar. Some devices are manufactured with several pumps. The retraction force in this case depends on the rotor. Irrigation systems are used channel type.
Reservoirs are most often installed at the top of structures. Refrigerators are used on one or more motors. The used oil in this case is immediately drained through the nozzles. If we consider the advantages of the modifications, it is worth noting that they stand out for their good performance and are suitable for large enterprises for pumping liquids.
Mobile devices
Mobile devices in our time are very popular. Modern devices are able to operate at high temperatures. Cooling systems are most often used in the third class. Pumps for devices are only suitable for cyclone type. At the same time, compressors are selected with a small capacity. Fans come in many sizes.
In many stations, separators are installed. These elements are able to withstand a pressure of not more than 2 bar. In this case, the power indicator starts from 4 kW, but in this case a lot depends on the compressor. Mobile devices are great for working with liquefied gas. However, it is worth remembering the disadvantages of models of this type. First of all, we are talking about low productivity. In this case, it is difficult to solve the problem with the treated oil. Condensate must be cleaned independently.
Piston models
Piston installations (compressor) are most often made of a stationary type. They have a low power indicator, but they have very simple controls. Collectors in this case are of low conductivity. For condensate, as a rule, separate tanks are installed. You can also find tanks from liquefied gases. Models use refrigerators with integrated irrigation systems. Pumps in the stations are used circulation type. A large capacity is used to store hydrocarbon gas.
Rotary devices
Rotary installations (compressor) have a lot of advantages. They are able to work at high temperatures. Collectors are used in different capacities. Compressors are often used centrifugal type. There are two and three pump models. Purge mechanisms are most often installed at the bottom of the structure. Fans of different diameters are used to cool rotary plants. Hoods in this case are located at the top of the stations.
Tanks are installed for used oil. What are the disadvantages of rotary devices? First of all, it is important to mention the large dimensions. Among the rotational models there are no mobile devices. Refrigerators are allowed to install a small capacity. Many stations have problems with high humidity. Dry gas must be stored in separate containers.
Screw installation
Screw stations are great for compressor equipment of different capacities. A feature of the devices lies in the presence of collectors. In this case, the guides are screwed. Devices differ in performance and power.
Many models stand out for their low level of waste oil. Refrigerators are usually installed with irrigation systems. Blocks in this case are fixed at the bottom of the stations. Pumps are available in both centrifugal and cyclic types. The suction power depends on the size of the compressor.
Single stage models
Single-stage units (compressor) are not capable of boasting high performance, and the power parameter of the models is about 2 kW. Gas tanks are installed with refrigerators. Separate containers are provided for condensate. Pumps are used only cyclic type. The limiting pressure at the stations is approximately 5 bar. Cooling systems are used in the second and third class. Quite often, fans are fixed to the installations. Collectors are used with switches. A modulator is needed to control the station.
Features of two-stage devices
Two-stage installations (compressor) are able to work in different modes. They use powerful pumps. Compressors are used on 3 and 4 kW. The limiting pressure at the stations starts from 6 kW. Collectors are installed behind the pumps. Many models are made with several tanks for compressed gas. For condensate, not large tanks are used, but the nozzles are connected through the central chamber. Pumps meet with and without a separator. The pressure force in the devices starts from 10 microns.
