Summer is approaching and the temperature is gradually rising. Air compressors frequently issue high temperature alarms during operation, seriously affecting production efficiency and even causing equipment shutdown.
Long-term high temperature, overload operation, failure to dissipate heat and poor maintenance may all cause the air compressor to shut down unexpectedly and fail.You wouldn’t let your car overheat in peak traffic, so why take the risk with your air compressor.
If not avoided, your compressor may experience these problems this summer:
Frequent temperature alarms: The control panel displays a high temperature warning (usually over 100°C), and even triggers automatic shutdown protection.
Decreased operating efficiency: reduced exhaust volume, unstable compressed air output, affecting the operation of downstream equipment.
Abnormal noise and vibration: due to poor lubrication or overheating of components, the machine is accompanied by friction noise or violent vibration during operation.
Abnormal lubricating oil: the oil color turns black, the viscosity decreases, or there is a burnt smell in the oil circuit. In severe cases, the oil filter is blocked.
Failure of the cooling system: abnormal cooling fan speed, hot radiator surface, no hot air is discharged from the air outlet of the air-cooled model.
How to avoid a summer disaster?
Regularly maintain the cooling system: clean the dust on the cooler, check the operation of the fan, and ensure that the coolant is sufficient and circulated smoothly.
Replace high-quality lubricating oil: regularly replace the lubricating oil according to the manufacturer's requirements, and check whether the oil circuit is unobstructed.
Improve the operating environment: strengthen equipment ventilation, add auxiliary heat dissipation facilities when necessary, and avoid long-term operation in a high-temperature closed environment.
Reasonably adjust the load: avoid long-term overload operation of the air compressor, and add spare equipment for rotation when necessary.
Check the control system: regularly calibrate the temperature sensor to ensure the normal operation of the control system and prevent false alarms or loss of control.
As the core equipment of industrial production, the stable operation of air compressor is of vital importance. It is recommended that enterprises establish a sound equipment maintenance system and regularly check key components to prevent problems before they occur. At the same time, choosing high-quality consumables and accessories can also effectively reduce the failure rate. In the future, the occurrence of high-temperature failures can be further reduced to ensure production safety and efficiency.
