The invention relates to the technical field of screw superchargers, in particular to a single-screw
supercharger which comprises a gas filter, an unloading valve, a main
machine and a gas-liquid separator, the gas filter and the unloading valve are connected through a gas guide
pipe, the unloading valve is connected with the gas inlet end of the main
machine, and a gas taking opening in the upper end of the gas-liquid separator is connected with an unloading shutdown emptying channel. The
tail end of the unloading shutdown emptying channel is divided into an unloading pressure maintaining adjusting loop and a main
machine unloading air supplementing loop, the unloading pressure maintaining adjusting loop is connected with an air guide
pipe, the main machine unloading air supplementing loop is connected with a main machine, an air inlet
pipe of the
air filter is provided with a pressure adjusting valve and an electric valve, the electric valve is located at the rear end of the pressure adjusting valve, and the electric valve is controlled through an
electric signal. The unloading valve is a
pneumatic valve, a cooling liquid outlet of the gas-liquid separator is connected with the main machine through a liquid loop, and a liquid cooler, a liquid filter and a
water cut-off
electromagnetic valve are arranged on the liquid loop. The method has the advantages that the
supercharger is energy-saving, frequent shutdown is avoided, and the
system reliability is improved.
