The oil of the screw air compressor has changed to black

centrifugal compressor

During the maintenance process of the extruder screw air compressor, the oil of many customers’ screw air compressors has changed to black. The reasons are summarized as follows:

1. The overall software environment of air compressors: Air compressors are prone to chemical changes after being mixed with nitrogen oxides and sulfates in a high-temperature closed natural environment, and are converted into alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids and oxygen-insoluble substances. In addition, it is very easy to generate fine hydrocarbons and gases at high temperatures.

2. The fault is caused by the high temperature of the air compressor oil, and it is easy to cause the iron pin to absorb air and particles inside the equipment.

So, how can we avoid the blackening of the lubricating oil of the air compressor?

1. Carry out airtight storage of unused engine oil.

2. When purchasing related products, choose special oil products that are not easy to dissolve.

3. Pay attention to the storage environment of screw engine oil, so that the temperature and humidity can be operated under normal temperature conditions.

During the maintenance process of the screw air compressor, the oil of the screw machine of many customers has turned black. Summarized the reasons, there are the following two points:

1. The overall operating environment of the air compressor: the air compressor is very easy to react with nitrogen oxides and sulfides in a high-temperature closed environment to produce alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids and oxygen-containing insolubles. Very easy to produce tiny hydrocarbons and gases at high temperatures.

2. Due to the high temperature of the air compressor oil, there is a fault, and iron filings are easily generated inside the equipment, and there are particles in the air.

So, how can we prevent the phenomenon of blackening of air compressor oil?

1. Seal and store unused engine oil.

2. When purchasing related products, choose air compressor oil products that are not easy to decompose.

3. Pay attention to the storage environment of the screw machine oil, so that the temperature and humidity can be operated under normal temperature conditions.
