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.
