1) Rotors: The key components of a screw compressor are the male and female rotors, which have a helical shape. As the rotors turn, they trap and compress air between them.
2) Compression Process: As the screws rotate, they reduce the volume of the air trapped between them, creating high pressure. This compressed air is then discharged from the system.
3) Continuous Operation: Unlike piston compressors, screw compressors can run continuously without experiencing the same wear and tear from start-stop cycles, making them suitable for applications that require continuous airflow.
