How to Maintain an Air Compressor

Mar 30, 2022

For the daily maintenance of the air compressor, we mainly start from 5 aspects:

 

1. must be regularly maintained

Regular maintenance of air compressors is essential. One is to eliminate the defect before it occurs, and the other is to keep the air compressor running smoothly. There are some wearing parts in the air compressor, which should be replaced regularly according to regulations to avoid defects in the parts and cause the air compressor to malfunction. After 300 hours of general operation, do another inspection, and decide the inspection frequency according to the usage. Always check accessories, cable lines, and replace them immediately if they are damaged. In addition, cleaning the filter screen can avoid many equipment defects, and the unclean filter screen will reduce the performance of the compressor and the service life of the compressor. Timely clean the filter screen, keep the machine clean, dry and free from oil, so that its performance can be fully exerted.

 

2. Cleaning and sewage

Air compressors work in places with many dust particles for a long time, which is easy to produce dirt. Therefore, it is recommended to discharge the sewage from the air storage tank of the air compressor in time. It is recommended to discharge it at least once a week, which depends on the working environment. Some important accessories also need frequent cleaning and maintenance, especially the filter elements of oil and gas separators, air filters and other components.

 

3. Choose good quality lubricating oil

Strictly prevent the oil and oil content of the lubricating oil. If the quality is poor or the amount used is large, the lubricating oil will be mixed with dust and hardened. The organic substances in the oil will be mixed into black oil residue under a certain temperature and pressure, forming carbon deposits. It not only affects the normal operation of the air valve, valve plate, spring and piston ring, but also causes the air compressor to overheat and cause an explosion.

 

4. Daily maintenance

To ensure the long-term use of the air compressor, daily maintenance and maintenance are the key. The air compressor is a large general-purpose mechanical equipment with complex structure and powerful functions. To maintain this powerful function, it is necessary to check its working state frequently. Common daily tasks include: draining water from oil and gas barrels. Checking the oil level. Prepare power supply for surrounding equipment, such as water supply, opening compressor discharge valve, etc.

 

5. Selection of operating environment

The ambient temperature of the air compressor should be kept at 540°C, and it should not be placed in an unshielded place, and it should not be operated in a place where it is humid or where flammable and explosive liquid gases and highly volatile gases are stored. Keep the environment clean and avoid unnecessary accidents. When the air compressor is not in use, the air in the air storage tank should be discharged from the sewage in the air storage tank and stored in a monotonous environment.
