Compressor equipment is a special type of energy machine, its main function is to increase compression and move gases.

Classification of compressors based on methods of pumping gaseous substances:

1) volumetric compressors ( piston , screw , membrane, scroll);

2) continuous flow - dynamic compressors (centrifugal, axial, radial-axial).

The scope of application is quite wide: mining, oil and gas, engineering and other industries.

The main characteristics of the compressor are:

air flow (performance);
operating pressure;
air cleanliness requirements.

According to the principle of their operation, compressors are divided into volumetric and dynamic. Positive displacement compressors include piston and screw compressors, while dynamic compressors include centrifugal compressors.

Screw compressors
Screw compressors are structurally related to rotary compressors. Compression of the medium is achieved using two interlocking rotors with helical teeth. A screw compressor consists of a housing (cylinder), driving and driven rotors with gear-screw blades. One of the main advantages of compressors of this type is the complete absence of pulsations of the discharge gas, which makes it possible to simplify the piping of the compressor. Such equipment is optimal for low and medium discharge pressures and low and medium gas flow rates. Screw compressors are available in two versions: oil-filled and oil-free. Oil-filled screw compressors are virtually silent models that use oil lubrication to soften the operation of the rotor pair. Most often used in heavy industry. Oil-free screw compressors operate on the principle of dry compression. The absence of oil in the design allows them to be used in food production, pharmaceuticals and microbiology.

Main applications of screw compressors
Gas supply to the gas turbine unit.
Pumping of natural and associated gas.
Injection of gases into underground storage facilities.
Cooling and compression of gases (propane/butane).
Compression of process gases.Synthetic fertilizer factories.
Synthetic rubber factories.
Screw compressors show excellent electrical energy savings, as well as reduced compressor maintenance costs. The payback period for a screw compressor can reach about 18 months. Reducing the energy consumption of propellers leads to cost savings. The price of screw compressors may be higher compared to piston models. However, the overall cost calculation will be in favor of the rotary variety, due to the low installation, repair and maintenance costs.

Piston compressors
Reciprocating compressors are characterized by the highest efficiency at the design point, i.e. in the design mode (pressure, temperature, supply) has the lowest energy consumption, but at the same time requires relatively high labor costs for maintenance, since it has many parts that perform translational motion, subject to friction and alternating loads.

Main applications of piston compressors
Energy (booster compressor stations (BCS), in fields for the extraction and processing of raw materials).
Chemical and petrochemical industry (in the chemical and petrochemical industry, compressors operate safely under extreme pressures and temperatures with light and heavy gases, corrosion, flammable and toxic components).
Oil and gas (in the oil and gas industry, piston compressors are used for booster compressors, production and transportation in extremely difficult conditions (maximum and minimum temperatures), high humidity and salinity, in fields and at sea).
In the case of compressor repairs, parts such as piston, piston rings, valves, crankshaft bearings, connecting rod journals, and bearings may need to be replaced.

Centrifugal compressors
Centrifugal compressors are dynamic machines. They have a number of features that make this equipment indispensable for many industries. The main advantage of centrifugal compressors is the complete absence of oil in the working cavity and, accordingly, in the compressed medium, which is a guarantee of high quality of the resulting product.

Our company company supplies various types of compressors, and also carries out their repair and maintenance.
