    Rotary Compressor

    Rotary compressors are used to supply continuous pulsation-free compressed air. They have rotors and a casing instead of pistons and cylinders. Screw compressors compress air through the meshing of two helically grooved rotors housed in a cylinder with inlet and outlet ports. As the rotors rotate, air is drawn into spaces between the rotors and compressed as the space decreases. When the rotor lobes and discharge port align, compressed air is expelled into the delivery line. Screw compressors are commonly used for low-pressure applications up to 8 bars in industries like food processing, gas turbines, and oil refineries.

    Rotary Compressor

    Introduction
    •Rotary Compressors are used to supply continuous
    pulsation free compressed air.
    •They have rotors and casing in place of piston
    cylinder arrangement.
    •They are compact, well balanced, and high speed
    compressors.
    •They handle large mass of gas and are suitable for
    low and medium pressure ratios.
    Classification of Rotary Compressors
    Roots Blower Compressor
    Centrifugal Compressor
    Applications

    FOOD INDUSTRY: Food processing industry depends highly on this type of


    compressor as it can provide oil free compressed air which are necessary for
    some sensitive petitions.
     
    GAS TURBINES:
    Centrifugal compressors are mostly used in  Gas turbine such as :-
     A.) Turbo shaft
    b.) Turboprop
    c.) Micro turbines and
    d.) Auxiliary power units
     
    OIL REFINERS , PETROCHEMICAL AND CHEMICAL PLANTS: The centrifugal
    compressors used for the above purposes generally have a horizontally split
    casing and most of them are multistage compressors. These type of
    compressors are generally operated by over-sized steam engines and gas
    turbines.
    Vane Type Compressor
    Axial Flow Compressor
    Uses

    •Gas Turbine Plants


    •Small Power Stations
    •Large Volume air separation plants.
    •Propane dehydrogenation.
    Screw Compressor
    Introduction

    •A screw compressor is a type of rotary


    compressor which compresses air due to screw
    action.
    •The main advantage of using this compressor
    is that it can supply compresses air
    continuously with minimum fluctuation in
    delivery pressure.
    • It is usually applied for low-pressure
    applications up to 8 bars.
    Construction
    •It is a positive displacement compressor in which
    compression is accomplished by the enmeshing of two
    mating helically grooved rotors suitably housed in a cylinder
    equipped with inlet and discharge ports as shown in Fig.
    •The male rotor (driving rotor) and consists of a series of
    lobes (usually four) along the length of the rotor that mesh
    with similarly formed corresponding helical flutes (usually six)
    on the female (driven rotor) rotor and a very small clearance
    between them.
    •The entrapped gas is progressively compressed as it moves
    through the narrowing passage ways formed by the lobes.
    •The inlet and outlet flow from the compressor are neither
    radial as in the case of roots blower nor axial but oblique.
    •The casing is made of high grade cast iron and is ribbed for
    extra strength.
    •Rotors are forged from normal carbon steel and must
    dynamically balance after machining.
    •Sleeve bearings are used as shaft seals within the
    compressor.
    Working
    In a screw compressor one of the shafts is driving shaft and the other is driven
    shaft. The driving shaft is connected to the driven shaft via timing gears which
    help to match speeds of both the shafts. The driving shaft is powered by an
    electric motor generally. The two shafts are enclosed in an airtight casing.
    The working cycle of the screw compressor has three distinct phases as
    following:
    (i) Suction process
    (ii) Compression process
    (iii) Discharge process

    Suction Process : As Compression Process : Discharge Process : At a
