The importance of air filters for screw air compressors

The air filter is one of the protective barriers of the screw air compressor, so choose a high-quality air filter when choosing, which is conducive to energy saving.

Choosing a high-quality air filter has the following benefits:
1. The air filter has high filtration precision.
It can effectively reduce the impact of dust on engine oil, oil content, and interior. The use of an air filter with low filtration accuracy will result in excessive dust and poor oil stability. Increase the viscosity of lubricating oil, increase the running resistance of the screw air compressor machine, and in the case of the same displacement, the current will inevitably increase.

2. The phenomenon of dust adsorption on the surface of the oil is aggravated, and the stability of the oil is obviously reduced.
Increase the internal pressure of the throttle, then the current will also increase under the same exhaust. High filtration precision and small suction resistance are beneficial to energy saving: In the case of high filtration precision, air filtration is conducive to energy saving. Small suction resistance is beneficial to energy saving, while large air filter resistance is easy to waste electric energy.

3. Block the moisture in the air, which is beneficial to energy saving: In rainy seasons, due to the high air humidity, the chance of oil leakage will be much higher, because ordinary air filters do not have the function of blocking part of the moisture. Secondly, if the water content in the hydraulic system is too much, the viscosity of the oil will decrease, and the oil will flow with the air.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the screw air compressor, it is necessary to replace the air filter from time to time. Generally, the replacement of the air filter has a strict time limit, and the specific replacement time can be determined according to the usage situation.
