What are the air compressors in thermal power plants?

Functional analysis of air compressor in thermal power plant

Granklin water-lubricated single-screw air compressor plays a key role in the thermal power generation system. Its core role is reflected in three aspects:

1. Power source for process control
Provide clean power for pneumatic actuators across the plant, including:

  • Boiler damper adjusting device
  • Steam turbine bypass system control valve
  • Dust removal equipment for coal handling system
  • Chemical water treatment precision instrument

2. Equipment operation and maintenance guarantee
Play an important role during unit maintenance:

  • Drive maintenance tools such as pneumatic wrenches
  • Clean up pipe ash and equipment surfaces
  • Maintain a dry environment for instrument lines
  • Cooperate with vacuum pump to complete system pumping

3. Special system support
Designed for the unique needs of thermal power plants:

  • Gas supply from boiler heating surface soot blowing system
  • Pneumatic element drive for desulfurization and denitrification process
  • Pneumatic starter for fire protection system
  • Pneumatic conveying of ash conveying system

Granklin air compressor adopts water lubrication technology. Through the precise fit of a single screw and a star wheel plate, it generates clean compressed air that meets power industry standards in an oil-free environment. Its stable pressure output and low maintenance characteristics effectively ensure the safe and efficient operation of various system equipment in the thermal power plant.

The difference between a dry dryer and a cold dryer

Dry blowers and cold dryers are commonly used drying equipment in post-processing of compressed air. The core difference lies in the drying principle and applicable drying requirements. Cold dryers (freeze dryers) cool the compressed air and reduce its temperature to below the dew point, so that the…
