Air compressors are diverse and versatile, while the requirements for lubrication vary greatly depending on the type of air compressor. In air compressor components, lubricants play a role in preventing wear, sealing, cooling, minimizing the effect of air on lubricant viscosity and the reaction of additives with air, and preventing corrosion.
At present, there are many types of air compressors, but no matter what type of air compressor, its lubrication system structure and role have similarities. This article mainly discusses the commonly used industrial reciprocating air compressor, screw air compressor, centrifugal air compressor lubrication system, and other types of air compressor lubrication system in the structure and principle of these three types of air compressor lubrication system is similar or close to.
