    Uploaded by

    Maria Eloisa Angelie Arellano
    Rotary screw compressors are commonly used as industrial air compressors due to their large size, ability to operate oil-free or with lubrication, and low maintenance needs. This design selects a rotary screw compressor that requires around 157.5 horsepower based on power requirement computations from the heat generated and needs to compress over 95,000 mol of air per hour to 125 psi.

    Air Feed Compressor (C101)

    Rotary Screw Compressor is considered in this design due to its convenience as an


    industrial type compressor. It is typically large in size (industrial-sized), can be operated oil-free
    or lubed, and does not require much maintenance (Wolfe, 2017).
