The principle of rotary screw air compression is really no different than reciprocating (piston) compression. Both are positive displacement machines that take in a fixed volume of air at atmospheric press.
[pdf] Screw-type air compressor structure of a unique design, a compact, stylish appearance, high efficiency, small energy consumption, low noise characteristics and long life, is a smart environment-friendly pro.
[pdf] Displacement (m³/min): It refers to the volume of air discharged by the compressor per unit of time, also known as flow rate or volumetric flow rate. Discharge pressure (MPa): It indicates the pressure of the air at the compressor’s outlet, usually measured in megapascals (MPa).
