Kruvikompressorid

Kruvikompressorid are a type of positive displacement compressor that uses two interlocking helical rotors to compress gas. The rotors are driven by a motor, and as they rotate, they trap a volume of gas between their threads and the compressor casing. The rotating rotors then reduce the volume of this trapped gas, increasing its pressure. This process is continuous, allowing for a steady flow of compressed air or gas.

The design of kruvikompressorid, also known as screw compressors, allows for high efficiency and reliability. They are commonly used in industrial applications requiring a consistent supply of compressed air, such as manufacturing plants, automotive workshops, and chemical processing facilities. Their ability to handle a wide range of pressures and flow rates makes them versatile.

Key components of a kruvikompressorid system include the compressor unit itself, which houses the rotors, and often an oil injection system for lubrication and cooling, although oil-free versions are also available. The compressed gas is then typically passed through a separator to remove any oil, if present, before being delivered to the application. The efficiency of kruvikompressorid is influenced by factors such as rotor profile, speed, and operating pressure. They are known for their relatively quiet operation compared to some other compressor types and their compact size for the volume of air they can deliver.
