Common problems and solutions of air compressor

Safety precautions for air compressor equipment

1. Only when the power supply has been cut off and the compressed air in the whole air compressor system has been vented (the pressure in the unit is equal to the atmospheric pressure) can the unit be overhauled or maintained.

2. Before starting, turn on the power supply of the air compressor for a very short time (inching for about 1 second) to check whether the rotation direction of the air compressor is correct. Otherwise, the screw group of the air compressor may be damaged in a few minutes.

3. Ensure that pure gas is inhaled during the operation of the machine, and there is no flammable, explosive and toxic gas.

4. Before the operation of the unit, ensure that all joints and accessories are firm.

5. Do not loosen or remove any accessories, connectors and devices during operation to avoid serious damage accidents.

6. Air switch, fuse and other safety devices must be installed on the power supply line of air compressor to ensure the reliability of electrical equipment. Please connect appropriate grounding wire according to the safety regulations of relevant departments

7. The air compressor cannot work above the exhaust pressure specified on the nameplate, otherwise the motor will be overloaded and the unit will be shut down.

8. The safety valve is installed on the oil-gas separator. When the gas pressure in the system exceeds the set pressure, the safety valve will act. At this time, check the cause of overpressure and eliminate the fault.

9. Do not use corrosive chemical solvents to clean the air compressor and auxiliary equipment.

10. The air compressor can not be directly used as the equipment for producing breathing air. If the breathing standard is reached, the compressed air shall be treated after purification. Other gas equipment shall be provided with additional safety measures, and the use of compressed air in applications not mentioned in this manual shall be paid more attention.

11. When the unit is running, the box door shall be closed. It can only be opened for a short time during inspection, but attention should be paid to the damage of moving parts and high-temperature parts to the human body, and protective ear muffs should be worn. Do not leave leftovers on the unit or inside the unit.

12. The pressure vessel shall not be repaired by welding, and the machine or the inside of the pressure vessel shall not be inspected by using an open flame light source.

13. Ensure that the sound insulation material on the air compressor is complete. If there is any damage, please contact the service provider.

Precautions before installation of air compressor

The foundation requirements before the installation of the air compressor are closely related to the ground and surrounding areas. Considering the existence of vibration in use, the place where the air compressor is placed should be kept flat and firm. If the conditions are not met, it can be specially improved. The layout of pipes should be designed in advance. In addition, the distribution of heat dissipation devices should avoid that the heat cannot be discharged during operation.

The voltage and current test during power distribution shall be kept within the specified operating range. To improve the professionalism of wiring, it is necessary to have a high degree of safety, otherwise, once leakage occurs, it will bring unpredictable harm. Before installation, conduct a detailed inspection on the surrounding area, and keep the space dry. Excessive water will also have a negative effect.

The basic requirements also include that the air compressor and other machines should be kept at a proper distance, so that there is no interference between them. In addition, there should be sufficient movement space for daily maintenance or repair. The mistakes in the early stage will bury more defects, improve the awareness of relevant parties, and understand the reason for the existence of various restrictions. The unit is not a single concept, but is composed of various parts in the system. The basic requirements before the installation of the air compressor can be equally understood and must be comprehensive. The ground shall have sufficient bearing capacity to reduce errors, improve accuracy and reasonably place each place.
