Oil-lubricated compressors

 

— the need to use oil during compressor operation has a positive effect on its resource, because. moving parts experience a minimum of friction; and the noise level of such units is generally lower than that of oil-free ones. At the same time, the oil must be constantly renewed, and the compressor itself cannot be installed on inclined planes. In addition, the smallest lubricant particles have the unpleasant property of getting into the exhaust air, as a result of which, in areas requiring cleanliness (medical, food industry, etc.), models of this design can only be used with a special filter.
