Both Screw or Reciprocating Compressor applications are suited based on requirements. If More Pressure ratio is required then Oil flooded Screw Compressor is best. However if the Discharge Pressure requirement is more we choose Lubricated Reciprocating Compressors. However Torsional analysis is more stringent requirement in Reciprocating compressors than Screw compressors
