Does air-cooled air compressor need circulating water to cool down?

During the operation of the air compressor, the equipment cooling method directly affects the use scenarios and maintenance requirements. Regarding the problem of whether air-cooled air compressors need circulating water to cool down, it is necessary to explain in conjunction with the working principle of the equipment:

  1. Core characteristics of air-cooled air compressors
    Air-cooled models achieve heat exchange through a combination of built-in fans and heat sinks. The heat generated during the compression process is carried away from the equipment by the air flow, without the support of an external circulating water system.

  2. Cooling design of Granklin (air-cooled) air compressor
    As a water-lubricated screw air compressor, its cooling system adopts an air-cooled structure to control the equipment temperature through an efficient heat dissipation structure. Water lubrication technology is only used for lubrication and sealing of the compression chamber, and operates independently of the cooling system and does not involve the cooling requirement of circulating water.

  3. Equipment application advantages
    The air-cooled design simplifies the installation and maintenance process and avoids possible fouling, leaks and other problems in the waterway system. Granklin air compressors optimize heat dissipation efficiency to ensure stable operation while reducing users ‘dependence on cooling media.

To sum up, air-cooled air compressors (including Granklin(Air-cooled)Water-lubricated models) do not need to be equipped with a circulating water cooling system, and its cooling function is efficiently completed through air convection, meeting the modern industrial needs of energy conservation and simple operation and maintenance.
