Product description
Compressor for unloading and loading
This ZW series of oil-free compressors is 1 of the first products produced by our factory in China. The compressors have the advantage of low rotating speed, high component strength, stable operation, long service life and convenient maintenance. It is consist of compressor, gas-liquid separator, filter, two-position four-way valve, safety valve, check valve, explosion-proof motor and base etc. It has the characteristics of small size, light weight, low noise, good sealing, easy installation and easy operation.
This compressor is mainly used for unloading, loading, dumping, residual gas recovery and residual liquid recovery of LPG/C4, propylene and liquid ammonia. It is widely used in gas, chemical, energy and other industries, and is a key equipment in gas, chemical, energy and other industries.
Note: In the process of unloading, the compressor pressurizes the gas from the storage tank and then presses it into the tanker through the gas phase line, and presses the liquid from the tanker to the storage tank through the pressure difference of the gas phase to complete the unloading
two process. When the gas phase is pressurized, the temperature of the gas phase will rise. At this time, it is not necessary to force it to cool, because if the gas phase is compressed and then cooled, it is easy to liquefy, and the pressure difference of the gas phase is difficult to establish,
which is not conducive to the replacement of the gas phase and the liquid phase. In short, it will prolong the unloading process time. If residual gas recovery is required, during the residual gas recovery operation, a cooler can be selected for forced cooling of the gas phase, so as to recover
the residual gas as soon as possible.
The loading process is the opposite of the unloading process.

Piping and Instrumentation Diagram of gas unloading
Liquid delivery
At the beginning, open the liquid phase pipeline between the tanker and the storage tank. If the liquid level in the tanker is higher than the storage tank, it will automatically flow into the storage tank. When the balance is reached, the flow will stop. If the liquid phase of the tanker is lower than the storage tank, directly start the compressor, the four-way valve is in the positive position, and the gas is extracted from the storage tank by the compressor and then discharged into the tanker. At this time, the pressure in the tank car rises, the pressure in the storage tank drops, and
the liquid in the tank car flows into the storage tank. (as shown below)
Surplus liquid recovery
The residual liquid recovery process is the opposite of liquid transfer. After the liquid is delivered, the four-way valve should be reversed, and the dotted line in the figure is closed. At this time, the remaining gas in the tanker is inhaled by the compressor, pressurized and then discharged to the storage tank until the pressure of the remaining gas drops to no recovery value. When recycling, pay attention that the compressor pressure ratio and exhaust temperature cannot exceed the allowable values.
The working principle of the four-way valve
Pull the handle of the four-way valve, when the four-way valve is in the position shown in Figure a, the A side is the intake air, and the gas flows from A to B, through the pipe, the intake filter part, the compressor intake pipe, the compressor, The compressor discharge pipe, the D end flows to the C end, and the C end is the exhaust end.
When the four-way valve is in the position of Figure B, the C end is the intake air, and the gas flows from the C end to the B end, through the pipe, the intake filter part, the compressor intake pipe, the compressor, the compressor exhaust pipe, and the D end It flows to end A, which is the exhaust end.
Reference example for selection and calculation of Propane-Butane Mix unloading compressor
.Selection of compressor inlet and outlet pressure
Saturated vapor pressure of Propane-Butane Mix at 20~36ºC
| Temperature(ºC) | Atmosphere | Temperature(ºC) | Atmosphere |
| 20 | 8.4585 | 30 | 11.512 |
| 22 | 9.0125 | 32 | 12.212 |
| 24 | 9.5940 | 34 | 12.943 |
| 26 | 10.2040 | 36 | 13.708 |
| 28 | 10.8430 |
In the case of high temperature, the saturated vapor pressure of Propane-Butane Mix is high, so the 16barg (inlet pressure)-24barg (outlet pressure) model is selected to meet the use environment when the temperature is high.
Note: The unit of pressure is kg/cm2
- Compressor Flow Calculation
The specific flow calculation is more complicated and needs to be finally determined according to the calculation formula and experience. Only a simple calculation method is introduced here.
1. Calculate the volume of the tanker
According to the provided operating conditions, first determine the total volume flow required to unload the 15-ton Propane-Butane Mix tanker in 1 hour.
The specific gravity of Propane-Butane Mix is 0.618, so the volume of 15 tons of Propane-Butane Mix is: 15 ÷0.618=24.272m3; and since the tanker is not allowed to be full, it is generally about 80% of the tanker’s volume. The volume is 24.272+15×0.2=27.272, so the volume of the tanker should be 30m3.
2.Calculate flow
When the compressor is unloading, the pressure difference must first be established before the Propane-Butane Mix can be unloaded from the tanker to the storage tank. Generally, the time to establish the pressure difference is 15 minutes, so the actual unloading time is only about 45 minutes, that is, the required displacement is 30 ÷ 45 = 0.66667m3/min; and after the gas is pressurized from 16kg to 24kg by the compressor, the volume will be reduced to about 0.66667 (16 ÷ 24) of the original volume, then the compressor displacement is: 0.66667 ÷ 0.66667 =1m3/min
According to the above calculation, the compressor model is selected as ZW-1.1/16-24

How do you maintain proper air quality in compressed air systems?
Maintaining proper air quality in compressed air systems is essential to ensure the reliability and performance of pneumatic equipment and the safety of downstream processes. Here are some key steps to maintain air quality:
1. Air Filtration:
Install appropriate air filters in the compressed air system to remove contaminants such as dust, dirt, oil, and water. Filters are typically placed at various points in the system, including the compressor intake, aftercoolers, and before point-of-use applications. Regularly inspect and replace filters to ensure their effectiveness.
2. Moisture Control:
Excessive moisture in compressed air can cause corrosion, equipment malfunction, and compromised product quality. Use moisture separators or dryers to remove moisture from the compressed air. Refrigerated dryers, desiccant dryers, or membrane dryers are commonly employed to achieve the desired level of dryness.
3. Oil Removal:
If the compressed air system utilizes oil-lubricated compressors, it is essential to incorporate proper oil removal mechanisms. This can include coalescing filters or adsorption filters to remove oil aerosols and vapors from the air. Oil-free compressors eliminate the need for oil removal.
4. Regular Maintenance:
Perform routine maintenance on the compressed air system, including inspections, cleaning, and servicing of equipment. This helps identify and address any potential issues that may affect air quality, such as leaks, clogged filters, or malfunctioning dryers.
5. Air Receiver Tank Maintenance:
Regularly drain and clean the air receiver tank to remove accumulated contaminants, including water and debris. Proper maintenance of the tank helps prevent contamination from being introduced into the compressed air system.
6. Air Quality Testing:
Periodically test the quality of the compressed air using appropriate instruments and methods. This can include measuring particle concentration, oil content, dew point, and microbial contamination. Air quality testing provides valuable information about the effectiveness of the filtration and drying processes and helps ensure compliance with industry standards.
7. Education and Training:
Educate personnel working with compressed air systems about the importance of air quality and the proper procedures for maintaining it. Provide training on the use and maintenance of filtration and drying equipment, as well as awareness of potential contaminants and their impact on downstream processes.
8. Documentation and Record-Keeping:
Maintain accurate records of maintenance activities, including filter replacements, drying system performance, and air quality test results. Documentation helps track the system’s performance over time and provides a reference for troubleshooting or compliance purposes.
By implementing these practices, compressed air systems can maintain proper air quality, minimize equipment damage, and ensure the integrity of processes that rely on compressed air.

How does an air compressor work?
An air compressor works by using mechanical energy to compress and pressurize air, which is then stored and used for various applications. Here’s a detailed explanation of how an air compressor operates:
1. Air Intake: The air compressor draws in ambient air through an intake valve or filter. The air may pass through a series of filters to remove contaminants such as dust, dirt, and moisture, ensuring the compressed air is clean and suitable for its intended use.
2. Compression: The intake air enters a compression chamber, typically consisting of one or more pistons or a rotating screw mechanism. As the piston moves or the screw rotates, the volume of the compression chamber decreases, causing the air to be compressed. This compression process increases the pressure and reduces the volume of the air.
3. Pressure Build-Up: The compressed air is discharged into a storage tank or receiver where it is held at a high pressure. The tank allows the compressed air to be stored for later use and helps to maintain a consistent supply of compressed air, even during periods of high demand.
4. Pressure Regulation: Air compressors often have a pressure regulator that controls the output pressure of the compressed air. This allows the user to adjust the pressure according to the requirements of the specific application. The pressure regulator ensures that the compressed air is delivered at the desired pressure level.
5. Release and Use: When compressed air is needed, it is released from the storage tank or receiver through an outlet valve or connection. The compressed air can then be directed to the desired application, such as pneumatic tools, air-operated machinery, or other pneumatic systems.
6. Continued Operation: The air compressor continues to operate as long as there is a demand for compressed air. When the pressure in the storage tank drops below a certain level, the compressor automatically starts again to replenish the compressed air supply.
Additionally, air compressors may include various components such as pressure gauges, safety valves, lubrication systems, and cooling mechanisms to ensure efficient and reliable operation.
In summary, an air compressor works by drawing in air, compressing it to increase its pressure, storing the compressed air, regulating the output pressure, and releasing it for use in various applications. This process allows for the generation of a continuous supply of compressed air for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and personal uses.
