Is the Ingersoll Rand air compressor good for air cooling or water cooling? how to choose?

Ingersoll Rand air compressors can be divided into air-cooled air compressors and water-cooled air compressors according to the cooling method. Because of their different methods, their advantages are also different. Air compressor cooling method will be asked, is the air compressor good for water-cooled or air-cooled?

Air-cooled air compressor advantages:

1. Early investment and maintenance of equipment for waterless cooling circulation system and long-term dependence on circulation system and water quality.

2. It is not necessary to regularly clean and maintain the water cooler of the air compressor, which reduces the risk of production stoppage due to maintenance.

3. Reduce the cost of the previous investment and equipment operation.

Air-cooled air compressor disadvantages:

1. If the surrounding air quality is not good, it is easy to pollute the entire screw air compressor and compressed air. Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, it is recommended to load the filtering equipment.

2. If it is used in an enclosed space, it is recommended to install inlet and exhaust equipment.

3, cooling effect, quality is not as good as water-cooled.

Water-cooled air compressor advantages:

1. Since the cooling water has a certain cleaning effect, it can clean the inside of the equipment when it flows inside the air compressor. Helps to extend the maintenance and cleaning cycle of the equipment and improve the quality of compressed gas.

2. Relatively speaking, the cooling effect is better.

Water-cooled air compressor disadvantages:

1. Due to the limitation of water resources, the scope of application is relatively narrow.

2. The cooling water may contain calcium and magnesium ions, and these things are easy to react in the cooler due to high temperature, and finally form scale in the cooler, thereby affecting the cooling efficiency of the cooler.
