Types of Screw Compressors
Searching for a suitable screw compressor is daunting for cannot differentiate screw compressor working principles. Interestingly, screw compressors are either single-screw or twin-screw type.

Single-Screw Compressor
The single screw compressor comprises of two gate rotors and a main rotor. The main rotor, which is the driving rotor, meshes with the gate rotors to produce the compression process.
Twin-Screw Compressor
Unlike the single screw compressor, the twin-screw compressor comes with helical grooved two rotors. As the two mesh, fluid flows in the axial direction. This compressor is very common in commercial and industrial applications.

Screw Compressor Parts and Applications
The parts of the screw compressor
The screw compressor is a positive displacement machine that comes with two helical lobed rotors that mesh . The two rotors in a casing create working chambers that are the basis of the operation of a screw compressor. We can categorize the parts as follows:
1. Rotor
There are two rotors, the male and the female rotors. Normally, the female rotor is bigger than the male rotor. It is also driven by the prime mover and consequently it rotates the male rotor.
2. Suction Valve
This is the section of the compressor where gas control takes place.Set at the inlet of the compression chamber where it’s possible to catch and reduce dust, and ingress of damaging particles. Necessary for cleaning and protection of the compressor stage/s. It can be controlled pneumatically or electrically.
3. Prime Mover (typically an electric motor)
The compressor draws its power from the electric motor or any other prime mover depending on design. You can also expect to find different power transmission systems with different manufacturers and models.
4. Oil Section
It comprises of the oil tank, oil filter and oil separator. As you can expect from the categorizations, the screw compressors features many precision parts. These include couplings, gears, plungers, housings and belts. For advanced efficiency, the device also comes with an air receiver for buffering and storage applications between the compressor and the consumption system. The receiver is further categorized as primary receiver and secondary receiver. The screw compressor also features the air dryer whose role is to remove water vapor from the air. This prevents serious operational problems in the system including process obstruction and corrosion.

Benefits of Screw Compressor
Many industries use the screw compressor because of ease of maintenance, overall economy and simplicity. The compressor has been lauded for its high specific output, which is crowned by the usually small size of the devices. Maintenance is flawless thanks to the few parts. With new technology, you can expect a screw compressor to run efficiently also.
