Water Lubricated Screw Compressor Vs Dry Oil-Free Screw Compressor
| 1 | Water lubricated oil free screw compressor | Dry oil free screw compressor |
| 2 | Entire machine has no oil | Compression chamber has no oil, relies on sealing |
| 3 | One-stage compression, structure is simple, system is reliable | Two-stage compression, complicated structure leads to the high failure rate |
| 4 | Low energy consumption(saving 8~15%) | High energy consumption
(Mechanical loss and leakage) |
| 5 | Low maintenance cost(1/3 of dry oil free) | High maintenance cost(increase every year) |
| 6 | Low noise | High noise |
| 7 | Low vibration | High vibration |
| 8 | The air end rotation speed is as low as 2950r/min | The air end rotation speed is as high as 18000r/min |
| 9 | Operating temperature is 30℃ | Operating temperature is 200℃ |
| Shortcut | If room temperature is lower than 0℃, water needs to be drained manually, otherwise there is a risk that the water and gas barrels may freeze. | If it is shut down for a long time, it needs to be turned on frequently to drive away the tide. If there is a power outage, the air end needs to be turned manually, otherwise it has the risk of the air end cracking. |
(1) Structure Comparison
| Item | Water lubricated oil free screw compressor | Dry oil free screw compressor |
| Bearing quantity | 7 | 14 |
| Speed increasing gear | Motor and air end are directly connected with rotation speed 3000r/m, no speeding increasing gears | With speeding increasing gears, rotation speed is over 18000r/m |
| Synchronized gear | N/A | The synchronization gear is used to ensure that the male and female rotor gears are slightly worn and the rotor will be damaged |
| Sealing system | 2 groups | 8 groups |
| Compression stage | One stage compression | Two stages compression |
| Efficiency | High efficiency, minimum efficiency can reach 7.5KW | Low efficiency, minimum efficiency 37kW |
(2) Compressed Air Solution Quality Comparison
| Item | Water lubricated oil free screw compressor | Dry oil free screw compressor |
| Impurities | In addition to the filter at the air inlet, pure water washes away impurities in the air, leaving the air almost free of impurities. | Only adopts the inlet air filter, and the peeling off of the screw rotor coating will mix with the compressed air |
| Oil | Absolutely oil free | Semi-oil-free; there is no oil in the compression chamber, but there is oil in the gear box. The air and oil are separated by the seal. If the seal is damaged, the compressed air will be polluted. |
| Exhaust Temperature | Lower than 50 ℃ | Higher than 180℃ |
| Corrosive gas | Pure water neutralizes corrosive gases in the air, and some harmful gases have been dissolved in the water | Inhaled corrosive gases cannot be processed |
| Moisture | The outlet temperature is not higher than 50℃, and the atmospheric dew point moisture content at this temperature is 83g/m³ | Because the outlet temperature is ober 180°C, it is over 90°C even after cooling. The atmospheric dew point moisture content at this temperature is 230 g/m³. |
(3) Operation Cost
| Item | Water lubricated oil free screw compressor | Dry oil free screw compressor |
| Electricity | Low, taking 55kW model as example, 8kW electricity saved per hour | High |
| Maintenance consumable | Water filter, air filter | Lubricating oil, oil filters, seals, air filters, rotor coatings |
| Maintenance cost | Low. Taking 30kw as an example, the annual maintenance cost is no more than 3,000 yuan. | High, taking 37KW as an example, the annual maintenance cost is about 10,000 yuan, and will increase year by year. After three years, the rotor coating maintenance cost is over 50,000 yuan. |
| Oil free safety | Because there is no lubricating oil in the air end, it is absolutely safe. | Replacement of the air end bearings, improper installation, or overtime maintenance may cause oil contamination of the compressed air. |

Natural Gas Compressor Applications
Natural gas compressors play a critical role in various industries and applications, primarily by increasing the pressure of natural gas to facilitate its transportation, storage, and use. Here are some common applications:
- Coal Mine Gas Recovery: Natural gas compressors are vital in coal mines for capturing methane gas released during mining. This gas, often a byproduct, is compressed for safe transport or conversion into energy, reducing emissions and enhancing safety by preventing underground gas buildup while providing a valuable fuel source.
- Natural Gas Secondary Recovery: In secondary recovery, compressors boost the pressure of natural gas from depleted reservoirs. This process extends the life of gas fields by extracting residual gas, making it economically viable to recover resources that would otherwise remain trapped, supporting energy production and sustainability efforts.
- Oil Fields: Compressors in oil fields pressurize associated natural gas extracted alongside crude oil. This enables efficient transportation through pipelines or reinjection into reservoirs to enhance oil recovery, minimizing flaring, optimizing resource use, and maintaining pressure for continued extraction operations.
- Refineries: In refineries, natural gas compressors handle gas streams for processing, fuel supply, or chemical production. They ensure steady pressure for refining operations, enabling the conversion of raw hydrocarbons into usable products like gasoline, while maintaining efficiency and meeting strict environmental standards.
- Natural Gas Chemical Plants: Compressors in these plants pressurize natural gas for use as a feedstock in producing chemicals like ammonia or methanol. This high-pressure gas is critical for catalytic reactions, ensuring consistent supply and optimizing yields in large-scale chemical manufacturing processes.
- Chemical Fiber Plants: In chemical fiber production, natural gas compressors support processes like polymerization by delivering pressurized gas for energy or as a raw material. This ensures stable operations, enhances efficiency, and supports the creation of synthetic fibers like nylon or polyester for textiles and industrial uses.
