Thanks to their oil-free design, these compressors prevent contamination of gas quality by oil and gas mixtures, making them ideal for applications with strict gas purity requirements. Oil-free carbon dioxide compressors are available in vertical, single-stage, two-stage, or three-stage configurations, typically with a skid-mounted design that is lightweight, easy to move, and efficient across various applications.
Oil-Free Carbon Dioxide Compressor Features
- All oil-free design: Operates without oil lubrication, guaranteeing carbon dioxide purity and suitability for high-purity industrial uses.
- Long time continuous operation: Designed for stable, 24/7 operation under high loads, providing uninterrupted gas compression and delivery.
- Low noise design: Quiet operation, ideal for laboratories, production lines, and food industry environments that require minimal noise.
- Lightweight and movable: Skid-mounted construction allows for easy relocation, quick installation, and commissioning at different worksites.
- Efficient compression performance: Offers single, two, or three-stage compression to meet diverse needs, capable of compressing carbon dioxide gas up to 80bar pressure.
- High-quality cylinder materials: Stainless steel cylinders provide excellent corrosion resistance, long service life, and enhanced equipment safety and stability.
Working Principle of Oil-Free Carbon Dioxide Compressor
The compressor operates on standard gas compression principles. Carbon dioxide enters the chamber via the suction pipe, where it is compressed by a piston or rotor to higher pressures. The oil-free design ensures gas and lubricants never mix, guaranteeing gas purity throughout the process.
1. Suction: Carbon dioxide is drawn into the compressor.
2. Compression: The piston or rotor compresses the gas through one or several stages, enhancing efficiency.
3. Discharge: Compressed carbon dioxide is released at the required outlet pressure.
All moving components are precision-engineered for stable, clean, oil-free operation.
