The filter is a particularly important component in the air compressor. Its function is to filter impurities and moisture in the air, protect the internal parts of the air compressor, and extend the service life of the equipment. Therefore, timely replacement and correct installation of the filter is essential to maintain the normal operation of the air compressor.

Generally speaking, the replacement cycle of the air compressor filter depends on the following factors:

1. Operating environment: If the air compressor is used in a dusty environment, the filter replacement cycle will be relatively short.

2. Workload: If the air compressor runs at high load for a long time, the filter replacement cycle will be shortened accordingly.

3. Filter type: Different types of filters have different service lives.

The oil separator should be replaced after the first 500 hours of operation of a new machine. Use a special wrench to reverse the oil filter element and remove it. It is best to add screw oil before installing the new filter element. Use both hands to screw the filter element seal back to the oil filter seat and tighten it.

It is recommended to replace the new filter element every 1500-2000 hours. It is best to replace the oil filter element at the same time when changing the engine oil.

The replacement cycle should be shortened when used in harsh environments. It is strictly forbidden to use an oil filter element that has exceeded its validity period. Otherwise, due to severe clogging of the filter element, the pressure difference exceeds the bypass valve's tolerance limit, the bypass valve automatically opens, and a large amount of dirt and particles will directly enter the screw host with the oil, causing serious consequences.

In short, it is particularly important to regularly check and replace the air compressor filter, which can protect the air compressor, extend the service life of the equipment, improve production efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.
