Rotary screw compressors work on the principle of air filling the void between two helical mated screws and their housing. As the two helical screws are turned, the volume is reduced resulting in an increase of air pressure.

Most rotary screw compressors inject oil into the bearing and compression area. The reasons are for cooling, lubrication and creating a seal between screws and the housing wall to reduce internal leakage. After the compression cycle, the oil and air must be separated before the air can be used by the air system.
