What is the permanent magnet screw machine for?
Permanent magnet screw machine is a kind of equipment that uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor to drive a screw compressor. It has the characteristics of high efficiency and energy saving, smooth operation, low noise, and easy maintenance. It is widely used in various industrial fields that require compressed air. The following is a detailed introduction to permanent magnet screw machines:
1. Working principle
The working principle of the permanent magnet screw machine is based on the operating mechanism of the screw compressor and the driving method of the permanent magnet synchronous motor.
- Working principle of screw compressor：
- Screw compressors rely on the rotation of a pair of screws (male screw and female screw) in the machine cylinder to change the volume of the gas between the screw teeth. Its working cycle includes three stages: suction, compression and exhaust. As the screw rotates, the volume of the gas gradually decreases, thereby achieving compression.
- Driving method of permanent magnet synchronous motor：
- Permanent magnet synchronous motors have the characteristics of high efficiency and high power factor, which can reduce energy loss and improve energy efficiency. It uses permanent magnets to generate magnetic fields, which reduces excitation current losses and improves the efficiency of the motor.
2. Characteristics
The permanent magnet screw machine combines the advantages of a permanent magnet synchronous motor and a screw compressor, and has the following characteristics:
- high-efficiency energy-saving：
- The high efficiency characteristics of permanent magnet synchronous motors allow permanent magnet screw machines to significantly reduce energy losses during operation. Its efficiency is 5 – 12% higher than that of asynchronous motors of the same capacity, and it can still maintain high motor efficiency especially at low speeds.
- smooth operation：
- The screw compressor has a simple structure, smooth operation and low noise. The driving method of permanent magnet synchronous motors further improves the stability and reliability of the equipment.
- low noise：
- Due to the low speed of the screw compressor and the smooth operation of the permanent magnet synchronous motor, the permanent magnet screw machine generates low noise during work and is suitable for applications with strict noise requirements.
- convenient maintenance：
- Permanent magnet screw machines have fewer parts and no wearing parts, so they operate reliably and have a long life. At the same time, its maintenance workload is small, which reduces the cost of use.
