screw flooded comp. vs centrifuagl comp
(OP)
dear all,
why vendores prefer using screw flooded compressors rather then centrifuagl compressors in refregration process packages. Really we have bad experance in using screw flooded compressores in such packages??

RE: screw flooded comp. vs centrifuagl comp
The most common answer to your basic question is that a flooded screw is about 8-15% more efficient than a centrifugal (i.e, a screw will use about 8-15% less energy to do the same amount of work depending on the compression ratios). With typical plant margins, that can be a big deal.

we these compressors for propane .Our proplems uasuly with seals and some times on screws them selves.
We have dew control point pefore the compressors.
Dear you find attched the failure reports for theses compressors with pics of damages.
thank you very much agine for your support and kind help. looking for word to hearing from you
