3 Precautions for Air Compressor Maintenance

Air Compressor

Precautions for air compressor maintenance involve multiple aspects to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and extend its service life. Here are some key maintenance precautions:

 

1. Regular replacement and cleaning Filter element replacement:

 

Regularly replace the air filter and oil filter of the air compressor to prevent dust and impurities from entering the machine and affecting the machine performance and fuel consumption. Lubricating oil replacement: Lubricating oil is an important factor in ensuring the normal operation of the air compressor and needs to be replaced regularly. The specific replacement time and replacement amount vary according to the type of machine. It is generally recommended to replace the machine after about 5,000 hours of operation. When replacing, make sure to use lubricating oil that meets the requirements and drain the old oil. Clean the cooler: The cooler needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure its heat dissipation effect and prevent equipment failure caused by overheating.

2. Inspection and adjustment Pressure gauge and thermometer:

 

Regularly check the pressure gauge, thermometer and other instruments of the compressor to ensure their accuracy so as to promptly detect and deal with potential problems. Motor and circuit: Regularly check the operating status of the motor, including whether there is abnormal noise, whether the temperature is too high, etc. At the same time, check whether the circuit system is unobstructed and whether there is a short circuit. Belt tension: For air compressors using belt drive, the belt tension should be checked regularly to ensure that it is within the normal range to avoid a decrease in transmission efficiency due to loose belts. Seals and pipelines: Regularly check the seals and pipelines of the compressor to ensure that there are no air leaks, oil leaks, etc. If found, they should be repaired or replaced in time.

3. Shutdown and restart Shutdown operation:

 

Before shutting down, ensure that the internal pressure of the equipment has been released to avoid accidents during the shutdown process. After shutting down, turn off the power supply and disconnect the power supply. Restart preparation: Before restarting the air compressor, check whether each component is in normal condition, such as whether the lubricating oil level is sufficient and whether each connection is tight. At the same time, ensure that the power supply is stable and reliable.
