Centrifugal air compressor is a device that can quickly compress air into high-pressure air and is widely used in modern industrial production. Its working principle is to compress gas through centrifugal force, hence it is called a "centrifugal" air compressor. Let's take a look at the structure of a centrifugal air compressor.
1. Compressor
The important component in centrifugal air compressors is the compressor. It consists of a rotating impeller and a fixed volute. The gas enters the compressor from the inlet and is then compressed and discharged to the outlet through the rotation of the impeller.
2. Motor
The motor is the main driving component of a centrifugal air compressor, which enables the compressor to rotate and compress air. The motor is usually placed at the top of a centrifugal air compressor and drives the rotation of the compressor through a belt.
3. Cooler
Centrifugal air compressors generate a large amount of heat during operation, so they need to be dissipated. The cooler plays this role. It is usually located outside the centrifugal air compressor and connected to the compressor through pipelines. The cooler cools down the high-temperature gas discharged from the compressor, and then the compressor cycles and compresses it again.
4. Filter
During the operation of a centrifugal air compressor, a large amount of air is sucked in, which often includes impurities such as sand, dust, and particulate matter. These impurities can seriously affect the air compression effect and the operating life of the equipment. A filter is a device used to remove these impurities, usually placed at the inlet or outlet of a centrifugal air compressor, which can effectively protect the compressor and prevent it from being worn by foreign objects.
5. Lubrication system
Centrifugal air compressors require sufficient lubrication to maintain their normal operation. The lubrication system usually includes an oil pan and some oil pipes to send lubricating oil to various parts of the centrifugal air compressor to ensure their normal operation.
Overall, centrifugal air compressors are a very complex equipment that requires precise coordination of various components to achieve air compression. By strengthening our understanding of the structure of centrifugal air compressors, we can better maintain and operate this equipment, providing better support for production.
