Abstract
The demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly compression technologies has fueled the exploration and development of innovative compressor designs. Among these, oil-free liquid injection twin screw compressors have gained significant attention due to their potential for improved performance and reduced environmental impact. This research article presents an experimental assessment of the oil-free ammonia-water liquid injection twin screw compressor, aiming to evaluate its efficiency, operational characteristics, and suitability for various applications. The study encompasses an in-depth analysis of the compressor's thermodynamic performance and overall system reliability. The results obtained from the experimental investigation provide valuable insights into the capabilities and limitations of this emerging compressor technology, facilitating informed decision-making in selecting appropriate compression systems for specific industrial applications.
