Why are different compressors suitable for different chiller systems?

In fact, there are different types of compressors. Compressors are generally screw compressors. Screw compressors are widely used in various industrial enterprises and related fields. It can be said to be a more versatile compressor type. In fact, even screw compressors have more than one category!

In addition to screw compressors, there is also a type of compressor called piston compressors. Piston compressors are also a common type of compressor. They are of different types from screw compressors. Although they are both positive displacement compressors, pistons Type compressors are often different from rotary screw compressors and scroll compressors.

Common box-type chillers use scroll compressors instead of screw compressors. In fact, scroll compressors and screw compressors are all rotary compressors, while reciprocating compressors , Are all piston compressors.

In the case of screw compressors, there are many classifications. There are differences between fully hermetic and semi-hermetic. Different screw compressors have different application areas. Take the open-type screw compressor as an example, the open-type screw compressor The service life of the machine is high, the price is cheaper than other types of screw compressors, and the failure rate is relatively low.

Regarding the enclosed and semi-enclosed screw machines, there are also different characteristics. The enclosed screw machine has a good sealing effect, so the vibration and noise comparison value is relatively low, while the semi-enclosed screw machine is relatively higher. For screw compressors, it can also be distinguished from single-screw and twin-screw. Generally speaking, twin-screw compressors are widely used in chiller systems.
