Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle-mounted compressed air supply equipment, and in particular relates to a water-cooled oil-free scroll compressor. Background Art
[0002] In commercial vehicles like electric buses and trucks, compressed air is often used in the braking system to drive the brake actuators. It can also be used to adjust vehicle height and provide shock absorption, directly impacting ride comfort and vehicle handling stability. Given these application scenarios, and particularly the safety demands of the braking system, strict requirements are placed on the cleanliness of compressed air. Once traditional lubricants are mixed with compressed air and enter the brake valve circuit or air spring airbag, they can lead to serious consequences such as valve failure, reduced braking performance, and airbag damage. Therefore, oil-free air compressors, meaning that no lubricant is required within the compression chamber and the compressed air output is oil-free, have become the preferred technology for automotive applications. The automotive market currently primarily uses oil-free air-cooled piston air compressors, oil-free water-cooled piston air compressors, and oil-free air-cooled scroll air compressors.
[0003] Piston engines have problems such as high vibration, high noise, high power consumption, short lifespan, and extremely low efficiency in plateaus. Air-cooled scroll engines have problems such as high cost, large size, difficulty in cooling under high temperature conditions, which can cause damage, and the air ducts are easily damaged by impurities such as dirt and stones.
[0004] Traditional scroll air compressors require cooling vents because air flows through the moving and static discs. This results in air leakage between the moving disc and the static disc during suction, rendering them useless as vacuum pumps and inapplicable in closed-loop systems such as automotive air suspensions. Consequently, there is an urgent need for a fully enclosed air compressor with low vibration and noise, a compact size, low cost, long life, strong environmental adaptability, and IP67 waterproofing.
