One Stop Solution - How to Maintain the Winter Air Compressor
With the arrival of winter cold waves
The weather is also getting colder and colder
The temperature is getting colder and colder
The maintenance and management issues of air compressors also arise accordingly
So how should we maintain and manage the air compressor in winter?
1、 Corresponding compressor oil should be replaced according to temperature changes
As seasons and temperatures change,
There are also different types of lubricants available in different seasons and temperatures,
So corresponding changes should also be made to the lubricating oil used in the equipment.
Temperature can affect the service life of lubricating oil.
Therefore, oil products should be selected based on different environmental temperatures,
To ensure good lubrication of the compressor.
2、 Observe if there is any freezing phenomenon in the oil product
Preheat and thaw the oil before starting the machine,
To prevent the oil from freezing,
It is necessary to ensure that the machine is turned on without oil freezing,
The method of preheating can be by starting the auxiliary heating equipment or
Manually rotate the compressor for a certain amount of time to increase the machine temperature.
The preheating time should generally be operated according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
3、 After shutdown, vent all gases, discharge pollutants, etc
Be sure to pay attention to venting equipment after winter shutdown
And all water, gas, oil, stains, etc. inside the pipeline air pockets,
Because during winter, when the unit is operating, the temperature is relatively high,
After the shutdown, due to the low external temperature and the presence of moisture in the air,
After air cooling, there will be a lot of condensed water generated,
It will exist in the parts and pipelines inside the equipment, which can easily cause damage to the control pipeline
Hidden dangers such as blockage of the intercooler and expansion and cracking of the air bag.
4、 Venting the water in the machine and water tank
After the diesel air compressor is shut down,
Remember to empty the water in the diesel engine and water tank,
To avoid the phenomenon of cylinder freezing and cracking.
The following measures can be taken: use antifreeze to cool the water to prevent it from freezing;
Regularly inspect the cooler and cooling water pipes to remove any signs of freezing or freezing.
5、 Anti freezing techniques for air compressors
Take cold prevention measures for indoor temperature in the computer room. When the temperature drops,
The viscosity of the lubricating oil in the air compressor also increases,
This will have a significant impact on the air compressor after shutdown and restart,
It can also affect the service life of the machine.
So the air compressor needs to be equipped with a dryer
Cold drying machine, while also improving the air compressor
The temperature of the surrounding environment.
6、 Regular maintenance
Regular maintenance and upkeep should be carried out when using air compressors in winter,
This includes replacing lubricating oil, cleaning filter elements, cleaning condensate water, cleaning air pipelines, etc,
To ensure the normal operation and extended service life of the air compressor.
In short, when using air compressors in winter, attention should be paid to temperature control, cooling water treatment, lubricating oil selection, preheating before starting, preventing icing, and regular maintenance. Through reasonable operation and maintenance, the normal operation of the air compressor can be ensured and work efficiency can be improved. At the same time, it is recommended to refer to the operating manual and relevant experience based on the specific usage of the air compressor to ensure safe operation and normal machine operation.
