[0002] The working process of a screw air compressor is: suction-compression-exhaust process. During the air compression process, the male and female rotors of the compressor need lubricating oil for sealing and cooling. The compressed air contains a large amount of high-temperature lubricating oil. The oil-gas mixture is separated from the oil and air through an oil-gas separator. After separation, the high-temperature lubricating oil needs to be cooled and then re-injected into the rotor cavity and bearings of the compressor for cooling and lubrication. When recovering heat, the lubricating oil needs to pass through a heat exchange tube. Since the lubricating oil contains a large amount of impurities, some impurities will be left inside the heat exchange tube when it passes through the heat exchange tube. After long-term use, the heat exchange tube will be blocked. Therefore, we need to propose a screw compressor with waste heat recovery. Utility Model Content
