In our LKV-mi type Screw air compressors, according to customer demand and order, a thermostatic controlled oil heating resistance keeping the oil in the separator tank at +40 ºC is placed to prevent the compressor oil from freezing in extremely cold weather and to prevent damage to the screw block at start up and at the same time to ensure the compressor reaches load quickly. Another advantage of the oil heater is while preventing condensation which can occur in the system in the winter months, it will also protect against corrosion which can occur in the compressor.
