What lubrication does oil-free and water-free air compressor rely on?

Oil-free and water-free air compressors mainly achieve lubrication through the following methods:

  1. Dry lubrication:

    • Principle: Coat a special layer of solid lubricating materials on the surface of key components inside the compressor, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), etc.
    • Features: These solid lubricating materials have excellent high temperature and wear resistance, which can reduce energy consumption and improve the working efficiency of the compressor. At the same time, dry lubrication avoids the use of lubricating oil, reduces oil mist emissions, and is conducive to environmental protection.
  2. Air Lubrication:

    • Principle: During operation of the oil-free and water-free air compressor, the compressed air will form an air film inside, which will lubricate and reduce wear between parts.
    • Features: Air lubrication is a naturally formed lubrication method that does not require additional lubrication equipment or materials, reducing operating costs.
  3. Package Lubrication:

    • Principle: Some oil-free and water-free air compressors use packaging lubrication technology to encapsulate lubricant in key components such as bearings.
    • Features: Package lubrication can continuously provide lubrication during the operation of the equipment, achieving the purpose of reducing wear and extending service life. At the same time, since the lubricant is encapsulated inside the component, contact with the outside world is avoided and the risk of contamination and leakage is reduced.
  4. Material self-lubricating:

    • Principle: The internal parts of the oil-free and water-free air compressor are made of high-quality and low-coefficient materials, such as ceramics, polymer polymer ceramics, etc. These materials themselves have good self-lubricating properties, which can reduce friction and wear during operation.

In summary, the oil-free and water-free air compressor achieves the goal of normal operation without lubricating oil and water through a combination of multiple lubrication methods. These lubrication methods not only improve the operating efficiency and stability of the compressor, but also facilitate environmental protection and energy saving. In practical applications, users can choose appropriate lubrication methods or combinations according to specific needs and conditions.
