How to maintain the air compressor?

Air compressor is a commonly used compressor equipment used to compress air into high pressure gas. In order to ensure the normal operation and service life of air compressors, it is very important to carry out regular maintenance and maintenance. The following are the key points and precautions of air compressor maintenance.P12

1. Clean the air compressor: clean the internal and external components of the air compressor regularly. Internal cleaning includes cleaning air filters, coolers, and oiler. External cleaning involves cleaning the machine housing and surfaces. Keeping the air compressor clean prevents dust and dirt from accumulating and improves the heat dissipation effect of the machine.

2. Replace the air filter: The air filter is used to filter impurities and pollutants in the air entering the air compressor. Regular replacement of the air filter can ensure the quality of air compression, prevent impurities from entering the machine interior, reduce the damage to the machine.

3. Check the oil: check and replace the oil in the air compressor regularly. The oil plays a lubricating and sealing role in the air compressor, so it is very important to keep the oil clean and normal level. If it is found that the oil becomes black, contains white bubbles or has an odor, it should be replaced in time.

4. Check and clean the cooler: The cooler is used to cool the compressed air to the right temperature to provide better working efficiency. Regular inspection and cleaning of the cooler can prevent it from clogging and decreasing heat dissipation.3

5. Regular inspection and tightening of bolts: Bolts and fasteners in air compressors may be loosened due to vibration, which requires regular inspection and tightening during maintenance. Ensuring that there are no loose bolts in the machine can improve safety and reliability.

6. Check the pressure gauge and safety valve: the pressure gauge is used to monitor the pressure of compressed air, and the safety valve is used to control the pressure not to exceed the preset value. Regular inspection and calibration of pressure gauges and safety valves can ensure their proper operation and protect the safety of the machine and its operators.

7. Regular drainage: in the air compressor and gas tank will accumulate a certain amount of moisture, regular drainage can prevent moisture on the machine and gas quality. Drainage can be carried out manually or an automatic drainage device can be set up.

8. Pay attention to the operating environment of the machine: the air compressor should be placed in a well-ventilated, dry, dust-free and non-corrosive gas environment. Prevent the machine from being exposed to high temperature, moisture or harmful gases, which may cause damage to the normal operation and life of the machine.

9. Maintenance according to the use situation: make a reasonable maintenance plan according to the use frequency and use environment of the air compressor. For machines used at high frequencies, the maintenance period can be shorter. Some vulnerable parts, such as seals and sensors, can be replaced regularly.

10. Pay attention to abnormal conditions: regularly check the noise, vibration, temperature and other abnormal conditions of the air compressor, and timely repair and deal with the problems found to avoid further damage to the machine.

Air compressor is a more complex equipment, in the use of the process need to pay attention to safety and maintenance work. For some high pressure and high temperature equipment, operators need to have relevant operation and maintenance knowledge to ensure the safety of the working process and the normal operation of the machine. When maintaining the air compressor, you can refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer or consult professionals to ensure that the maintenance work is carried out correctly.6
