What is a frequency converter screw machine

The frequency converter screw machine is a mechanical equipment designed using frequency conversion technology and screw compressor principles. The specific explanation is as follows:

1. Basic concept

The frequency converter screw machine combines frequency conversion driving technology and the working principle of screw compressor. By changing the frequency of the motor’s working power supply, the compressor speed is adjusted, and the exhaust volume and pressure of the compressor are controlled to achieve efficient and stable supply of compressed gas.

2. Main types

Depending on the application field and compression media, variable frequency screw machines are mainly divided into two categories:

  1. Inverter screw air compressors:

    • Use compressors to compress air and provide power sources for industrial production and commercial applications.
    • Commonly in industrial fields such as automobile manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, electronic manufacturing, chemical industry, textile, and food processing.
  2. Inverter screw chiller:

    • Used in the field of refrigeration, the cooling effect is achieved by compressing the refrigerant.
    • Widely used in central air conditioning, industrial cooling, food, pharmaceutical and chemical refrigeration, and building low temperature freezing.

3. Working principle

  1. Frequency converter screw air compressor:

    • The motor drives the screw main machine to rotate, sucks the air in and compresses it into high-pressure gas.
    • Frequency conversion technology automatically adjusts the motor speed based on the production gas volume, realizes stepless speed regulation and improves energy efficiency ratio.
  2. Inverter screw chiller unit:

    • Screw compressor compresses refrigerant (such as ammonia or freon) into a high-pressure saturated gas.
    • After the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is condensed by a condenser, it is throttling through a throttling device and enters the evaporator to exchange heat with the medium that needs to be cooled to achieve a cooling effect.
    • Frequency conversion technology automatically selects the starting method based on the outlet temperature to achieve intelligent control.

4. Advantages and characteristics

  1. Efficient and energy-saving:

    • Frequency conversion technology automatically adjusts power output according to actual needs to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.
    • The screw compressor has a compact structure and high efficiency, further improving the energy efficiency ratio.
  2. Stable and reliable:

    • Frequency conversion technology makes the compressor run smoother and reduces mechanical wear and failure rates.
    • Screw compressors have self-cleaning capabilities, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
  3. Intelligent control:

    • Inverter screw machines are usually equipped with intelligent control systems that can monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time and make automatic adjustments.
    • Easy users to monitor and maintain remotely, improving the reliability and convenience of equipment.
  4. Widely applicable:

    • Inverter screw machines are suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial fields, and can meet the needs of different users for compressed gas or cooling effects.

5. Application examples

  1. Frequency-converting screw air compressor:

    • Providing a stable and reliable supply of compressed gas for various pneumatic tools and equipment, such as drilling machines, cutting machines, spraying machines, sandblasting machines, etc.
    • It is widely used in industries such as automobile manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, electronic manufacturing, chemical industry, textile, and food processing.
  2. Inverter screw chiller:

    • Central air conditioning system used in large commercial buildings, office buildings, hospitals, hotels and other places.
    • In the industrial production process, it provides high-efficiency and energy-saving cooling water for injection molding machines, cooling towers, cooling rollers and other equipment.
    • It is used in food, medicine, chemical and other industries for cooling and constant temperature control of cold storage, freezing storage, pharmaceutical process.

In general, frequency converter screw machines have been widely used in many fields due to their advantages such as high efficiency, energy saving, stability and reliability, and intelligent control. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of the market, frequency converter screw machines will play a more important role in the future industrial and commercial fields.

Can the workshop machine tool be used without starting air compressor?

Air compressors are an indispensable part of most modern machine tools. If your machine tool relies on a pneumatic system, not activating the air compressor will severely limit the function; if it is a purely electric or hydraulic machine tool, it can operate independently. It is recommended to confirm specific needs according to the equipment manual and formulate emergency plans.
