How to Install Screw Compressor Interconnections?

In screw compressor systems, the installation of interconnections is critical for system performance and energy efficiency. The compressed air coming from the compressor must be properly routed and connected through equipment such as the air receiver tank, air dryer, filters, and the distribution piping. First, the pipeline between the screw compressor and the air receiver tank must be sturdy and capable of withstanding pressure. The air receiver tank helps to balance pressure fluctuations and stabilize airflow within the system. Next, the air exiting the tank is directed to the air dryer, where moisture and water are removed. After the dryer, various filters (oil, dust, particulate) are used to improve air quality. The interconnections between filters and other equipment must be leak-proof and secure. Finally, the clean and dry air is delivered to the distribution piping system. Flexible connections should be used to reduce the effects of vibration and thermal expansion on the piping. Additionally, the pipeline should be designed to be as short and direct as possible, minimizing bends to prevent pressure losses. After installation, a pressure test must be conducted to detect and eliminate any air leaks. Properly and professionally installed screw compressor interconnections enhance system efficiency and reduce operational costs.
