Compressed air has innumerable number of applications throughout the world. In almost every industrial sector there is a requirement of compressed air. This compression of air is achieved by using air compressors. These machineries take in atmospheric air and perform compression as per the industrial requirement. In general, there are three types of air compressors on the basis of function- Centrifugal, Reciprocating and Screw Compressors. Furthermore, compressors can also be categorized based on the driving element, i.e., the component which is driving the compressor into motion in order to carry out its function. This paper represents the performance evaluation and thermal analysis of a diesel engine driven screw air compressor carried out in two main analyses namely- Air Flow analysis and Heat Flow analysis. Also, in this paper an attempt has been made to study its impact on the performance of the compressor after modification of geometry and altering the selection of fan. A simulation has been carried out using flow simulation software for the above-mentioned analysis.
