- The working principle of oil-free natural gas compressors mainly involves the reciprocating motion of mechanical components to compress natural gas, without using oil toate or cool these components. Here are the main steps in the operation of an oil-free natural gas compressor:
- 1.Intake of Compressed Air: The compressor draws in ambient air through the intake port, which first passes through a filter screen remove dust and other particles, ensuring the air quality entering the compressor.
- 2.Cylinder Compression: The filtered air enters the cylinder, which is driven by the crank to move reciprocally. As the piston moves upwards, the volume inside the cylinder increases, the intake valve opens, and natural gas flows into the cylinder; the piston moves downwards, the cylinder volume decreases, compressing the gas and increasing the pressure.
- 3.Cooling System: Compressing gas generates a significant amount heat, so oil-free compressors are typically equipped with a cooling system, such as heat sinks and cooling fans, to dissipate the heat generated during compression, the stable operation of the compressor.
- 4.Gas Separation: During the compression process, water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water, and there may be oil vapor or other impurities. The oil-free compressor uses coolers and filters to separate these contaminants from the air, ensuring the purity of the output gas.
- 5.Compressed air output: After being compressed and purified, the natural gas is stored in gas storage tanks and then transported through pipelines to it is needed. The design of oil-free natural gas compressors not only avoids the use of lubricating oil but also ensures the performance of the compressor and the of the natural gas through special technology. This makes it widely used in many applications that require high-quality compressed air, such as the food, medical, and electronics.
- UNIGY oil-free natural gas compressor is compact, has low vibration, low energy consumption, good air tightness, and long service life. With its-free, efficient, and stable performance, it is widely used.
