How Should Air Compressors Be Protected From Moisture?

Aug 31, 2022

Recently, according to the forecast of the meteorological department, most areas in the south will enter the rainy season. As we all know, the rainy season is particularly heavy, and there will be heavy rain in many places, so the rainy season, how should the air compressor "remove moisture"?


I. Check the compressor room


Check the compressor room to avoid rain leakage and water ingress, and ensure that the lightning protection facilities are perfect. It is always more cost-effective to take precautions than to make up for it afterwards, so don't lose a lot because of small things. In addition, once the compressor room encounters water, please stop immediately to avoid greater losses.


Second, ensure the normal exhaust temperature of air compressor


The normal exhaust temperature of air compressor will be +55℃ or above on the current ambient temperature, this temperature will vaporize the water and discharge it together with compressed air, and then discharge the water through the subsequent dryer. Some special circumstances will cause the oil temperature to be too low, such as some inverter units, at a lower load (less than 50%), it will not be easy to establish sufficient oil temperature, this situation needs to ask professional service personnel to adjust some parameters.


Third, use the original genuine lubricant


The original genuine lubricating oil of the air compressor manufacturer has excellent oil-water separation, i.e. it is not easy to emulsify and water can be discharged normally. Before the unit is shut down for a period of time and then restarted, you can slowly open the oil and gas barrel drain valve to discharge the water in the oil.


Fourth, ask professional service personnel to check the aging lines


In the control panel, some lines are aging and may spark and short-circuit under humid condition, which may cause abnormal tripping and shutdown in light cases and burn the control panel in heavy cases.


The above points are recommended to be completed by professional maintenance personnel!
