Why Oil-Free Scroll Compressor is Better?

Oil-free scroll compressors are popular for having vast applications in many sectors such as the medical industry, marine industry, automotive industry, and so on. Various oil-free scroll compressor advantages are described below:

Higher Efficiency

Scroll compressors have higher volumetric efficiency (89-94%) than reciprocating compressors (58-66%). This means oil-less scroll compressors can supply more air than reciprocating compressors.

A standard scroll compressor has the same mechanical efficiency as a rotary compressor. But scroll compressors perform better than rotary compressors.

Flexible Design

Scroll compressors are available in various designs such as single-stage, two-stage, and multi-stage. A single-stage oil-less scroll compressor has only one operation speed, and it is simple and cheap.

Two-stage scroll compressors can run at high or low speeds. Multi-stage scroll compressors can continuously run and supply cold air. This improves the air quality.

Energy Saving Capability

A scroll compressor consumes almost 25% less power than other air compressors. But it has a 5% higher cooling capacity. The compression mechanism of a scroll compressor helps to reduce power consumption. There are fewer moving parts in a scroll compressor, making the compressor more energy efficient.

Quiet Operation

The unique operation principle and design of a scroll compressor result in less torque variation. This makes a scroll compressor quieter than most other oil-free air compressors.

Free of Contamination

As there is no need for oil lubrication in an oil-less scroll compressor, it provides clean/uncontaminated air. The oil-free feature also eases the maintenance process of the compressor.

Great Durability and Reliability

Scroll compressors have fewer moving parts than other types of air compressors. Lesser moving parts decrease the chance of failure. For this reason, a scroll compressor is much reliable than a reciprocating compressor.

Why Choose Oil-Free Scroll Compressors in Medical Industry?

The medical industry is a vast sector, and air compressors are a big part of it. From running different medical devices to aiding patients in breathing, medical air compressors have a lot of applications.

Though there are different types of air compressors suitable for the medical industry, the oil-free scroll compressors have proven to be the best. Here is why:

• • Patients require pure, uncontaminated air for therapy, surgery, or assisted breathing. An oil-free scroll compressor supplies the purest air in this case.
  • Oil-free scroll compressors need only a little maintenance but serve a great deal. That’s why both doctors and patients feel comfortable using this air compressor for surgery, therapy, and more.
  • Some surgeries require a lot of money, and an expensive air compressor will only raise the burden. Fortunately, oil-free scroll compressors are a lot cheaper than other compressors.
  • Scroll compressors are quiet environment friendly because they do not discharge any toxic material into the environment.
  • These compressors have a very low noise level which is comfortable to use in the OT, CCU, ICU, or a diagnostic lab.
  • Oil-less scroll compressors start quickly, which is helpful for both patients and doctors in the medical sector.

Scroll vs Rotary Compressor – Which One Is More Advantageous for Medical Usage?

The following points show how the scroll compressors are better than rotary compressors:

• • • Scroll compressors have a higher cooling capacity than rotary compressors. Also, there is no need for any coolant in the scroll compressor system.
    • Though scroll and rotary compressors have almost the same mechanical efficiency, the scroll compressor has better volumetric efficiency.
    • Scroll compressors are easier to carry around, which is a great advantage for the medical sector.
    • Rotary compressors require more maintenance than scroll compressors.

However, rotary compressors are, in some cases, better than scroll compressors. For example:

• • • Rotary compressors can supply compressed air in a larger volume than scroll compressors.
    • Scroll compressors get hot faster than rotary compressors.

Comparing these points, it is clear that scroll compressor advantages are more than rotary compressors in the medical sector.

How Can Oil-Free Air Compressors Reduce Cost?

Oil-free air compressors can reduce cost in the following ways:

• • • These compressors don’t produce any oil-based trash during operation and eliminate the cost of cleaning such mess.
    • There is no need for an oil-separator or filter in these compressors. So this reduces the cost of getting these mountings.
    • Oil-less air compressors remove the cost of using desiccant in the air compressor to avoid air contamination.
    • The oil in the compressor damages many parts over time, which increases the cost of maintenance. It can be avoided in an oil-free air compressor.
    • These compressors require low energy to operate, and so this saves the cost of power consumption.
