A rotary screw gas compressor is a type of compressor used in the oil and gas industry to compress natural gas or other gases for transportation or processing.
The compressor works by using two rotating screws, or rotors, which mesh together to create a seal between the rotors and the compressor housing. As the rotors turn, gas is drawn in through the inlet and compressed as it moves through the compressor. The compressed gas is then discharged through the outlet and sent to a pipeline or other processing equipment.
Rotary screw compressors are known for their high efficiency, reliability, and low maintenance requirements, making them a popular choice for many gas compression applications. They are also capable of handling a wide range of gas flow rates and pressures, making them versatile enough to be used in a variety of different settings.
In addition to natural gas compression, rotary screw compressors are also used in a variety of other applications, including air compression, refrigeration, and industrial gas processing.
