Is the screw air compressor variable frequency?

Screw air compressors are available in both frequency conversion and non-frequency conversion (power frequency) ones.

Characteristics of frequency conversion screw air compressor

  1. energy-saving high-efficiency

    • variable frequency speed regulation: Change the power supply frequency through the frequency converter to accurately control the motor speed to achieve stepless speed regulation of the compressor. Adjust the exhaust volume according to actual needs to avoid energy waste.
    • energy saving: Compared with traditional power frequency screw air compressors, variable frequency screw air compressors can save energy consumption by more than 30%, and the energy efficiency ratio can reach the national first-level energy efficiency standard.
  2. smooth operation

    • soft start: The starting current is only about 1.2 times the rated current, which is much lower than more than 6 times the current during power frequency starting, reducing the impact on the power grid and mechanical systems.
    • low noise: Working at lower than the rated speed reduces mechanical noise and wear and extends equipment life.
  3. intelligent adjustment

    • intelligent control: Adjust the motor speed in real time according to the actual air consumption to keep the air pressure stable. Suitable for occasions with large fluctuations in gas consumption.
    • automatic frequency modulation: Good adaptability to AC power supply voltage and can still work stably even when voltage fluctuates.
  4. low maintenance cost

    • reduce the failure: Smooth operating conditions reduce failure rates and reduce maintenance costs.
    • prolong life: Optimized working conditions extend the service life of the equipment.

Characteristics of power frequency screw air compressor

  • Fixed power output: The motor runs at a constant speed and has a fixed power output.
  • the lower: Due to its simple structure, the manufacturing cost is low, and the price is usually lower than that of inverter screw air compressors.
  • limited application: Suitable for occasions where the gas consumption is relatively stable. For environments with large fluctuations in gas consumption, the energy efficiency is low.

selection recommendations

  • If the production gas consumption fluctuates significantly, or have high requirements for energy conservation and stability, it is recommended to chooseVariable frequency screw air compressor
  • If the production gas consumption is relatively stable, and is sensitive to price, you can consider optionsPower frequency screw air compressor

summary

Screw air compressors are available in both frequency conversion models and power frequency models. Frequency conversion screw air compressors have been widely used in industrial production due to their advantages of energy conservation, high efficiency and smooth operation. When selecting, factors such as actual gas consumption, energy-saving needs, and budget should be comprehensively considered.
