- Conventional air compressors can be categorized into oil lubrication type compressors and oil-free type compressors based on the mechanism of lubrication. The oil in the oil lubrication type compressor achieves lubrication and airproofing by forming an oil membrane over the screw rotors and the compression chamber, thus avoiding the wear of metal surfaces and the leaking of compressed air. Furthermore, the oil cools down the compression heat during the compression process, thus decreasing the compression temperature and increasing the compression efficiency.
- During the early stage of compression, the oil attaches to the screw rotors and the inner wall of the compression chamber as the air enters the airproofed compression chamber. However, after a period of compression, the oil no longer cools the compression heat. Therefore, the compression temperature increases rapidly and the compression efficiency decreases. In addition to oil lubrication, there is a water lubrication screw type compressor which employs an oil-free design in the compression chamber. The water lubrication screw type compressor requires no oil during the compression and generates no vaporized oil to contaminate the injected air. However, the water quality in the water-loop of the water lubrication screw type compressor degrades after a period of cycling, thus decreasing the effect of cooling and airproofing.
- In this regard, the inventor developed a new design to address the aforementioned limitations of the conventional water lubrication screw type compressor.

- The present invention has at least the following advantages:
- The water lubrication screw type air compressor in the present invention employs a water supply device that comprises a water filter to supply water, thus the water supply device can modify the water quality and provide purified water. The first water-loop unit comprises a second water-treatment device to modify water quality, thus reduces the corrosion of metal components.

Thecompressor 1 is a water lubrication screw type air compressor that projects the compressed air-water mixture by compressing the injected air and water to a specific volume. Thecompressor 1 comprises acompressor housing 11 that houses acompression chamber 12 and a pair ofscrew rotors 13. The pair ofscrew rotors 13 are complementary male rotor and female rotor to compress air. The pair ofscrew rotors 13 connects to asynchronous gear 14 actuated by adriver 15.

The first water-injection port 17 and second water-injection port 18 inject water to theaxial sealing 16 andcompression chamber 12 for cooling and airproofing. For example, injecting water into the space between thecompression chamber 12 and the pair ofscrew rotors 13 can not only cool the air during compression, but also airproof the compression process by forming a liquid membrane onto the inner wall of thecompassion chamber 12 and the pair ofscrew rotors 13.

Theair valve 22 can be, but is not limited to, a piston valve or butterfly valve to adjust the volume of air injection. Theair valve 22 is set upstream from thecompressor 1, and thus can adjust the volume of air injected into thecompressor 1 according to an air source.
