Piston versus screw compressors - A life cycle analysis of high pressure ammonia systems.
Number: pap. n. 46
Author(s) : HOFFMANN K., RUZEK V.
Summary
Total cost of ownership shows that for projects where a single piston can fulfil the requirement it is a better investment than a screw compressor. For projects where multiple piston compressors are needed, but the capacity can be made with a single screw compressor. The screw compressor offers a better return of investment.
