What is Screw Compressors?

Screw compressors are a type of rotary positive-displacement compressor. They use two meshing helical screws, known as rotors, to compress a gas or refrigerant. As the screws rotate, the volume between them decreases, compressing the gas. They are commonly used in industrial refrigeration, air conditioning, and process gas applications due to their ability to handle large volumes of gas, continuous operation, and efficiency compared to other types of compressors.
