Screw Compressors For Air: Oil Free & Oil Injected
Screw Compressors For Air: Oil Free & Oil Injected
RJ Engineering Systems offers one of the largest range of air compressors in both oil
free screw type and oil injected screw type constructions. In addition to the standard
configurations listed, compressors using diesel engines and turbines as drivers are
available in a wide range of capacities to meet project requirements.
In Oil Free Screw compressors, the rotors run without contact with each other, with the
help of timing gear wheels in the gear box driving the stages. There is no metallic con-
tact to the casing as well. The process conveying chambers remain oil free with the
help of combination labyrinth seals on the oil side and floating ring seals and barrier
rings on the conveying chamber
side. Positive isolation between the
two seals provided by atmospheric
vent ports ensures oil free service.
Oil free screws are typically two stage units, to meet the utility and instrument air
pressure requirements in the industry. Single stage units are offered as process air
compressors. Single stage booster compressors used for pressure boosting of
compressed air or nitrogen are available from the same base compressor blocks.
The special design of the compressor blocks with option of larger profile clearances
with low pressure drop vent porting and oil cooled jackets afford the compressors with
high pressure ratios and high ambient tem-
perature capabilities. Most of the two stage
units can provide up to 11.5 barg/181 psig
at the discharge flange, as shown in the list-
ing. The units are rated for an ambient tem-
perature range of -20°C/-4°F to 50°C/122°
F, without any deterioration in performance
values. Higher ambient temperature designs
are also available utilizing larger profiles and
custom gears. Single stage units can provide
up to 3.5 barg/50 psig at the discharge
flange. Booster compressors use inlet pres-
sure of 4 barg/58 psig or below and offer
performances similar to the two stage units.
The Oil Injected Screw Compressors have the rotors contact each other at the lobe
surface through an oil film. Oil is supplied to the bearings, seal and the conveying
chamber to act as a
lubricant, coolant
and sealant. The
male rotor is driven
directly or through an
integral gear box.
Some of the frames
can be belt driven,
for very compact in-
stallations. The triple
lip oil seal at the
drive shaft end seals
off the conveying
chamber. Special return paths to the suction side ensures leak free service. There
is a provision for seal leakage monitoring, in high pressure models.
Oil injected units can deliver very high compression ratios, which are limited only by
efficiencies. The range offered includes single stage and two stage units, with inter-
stage cooling in two stage units achieved through an oil curtain between the rotor
assemblies. The oil injection is final pressure dependent and typically does not em-
ploy a pump; some of the high capacity and two stage units employ shaft driven lube
oil pumps, to effectively ensure cooling while running unloaded.

primary circuit. This allows inlet temperatures as high as 70°
C/158°F for the second stage/booster compressors, consid-
ering air cooled intercoolers in high ambient temperature
conditions. Oil cooling eliminates possibility of aqueous
corrosion.
