What is the reason for the overheating of the screw air compressor?

1. Radiator blockage factors

• Because it may be that when the surrounding environment of the screw air compressor is dusty, it will cause a layer of dust or sludge to adhere to the surface of the radiator after long-term operation, which will affect the heat dissipation effect. A dirty oil filter may also cause a certain degree of overheating of the air compressor.
• Because the oil filter of the screw air compressor will be too dirty so that the oil cannot enter the air compressor according to the normal flow, then the screw air compressor will heat up rapidly due to insufficient cooling and lubricating oil. Of course, the cooling oil level is too low. In this regard, it is suggested that the screw air compressor should be regularly maintained and maintained to avoid the occurrence of the above situation.

2. Low oil grade or poor oil quality

• The screw air compressor should use the manufacturer’s original special air compressor oil. If other low-grade or inferior oil is used, the temperature may be too high due to the viscosity and specific heat not meeting the standard.

3. Environmental factors

• In many cases, environmental factors have a great impact on ventilation and heat dissipation. The main factors affecting heat dissipation in the surrounding environment of the screw air compressor are: the air compressor is placed too close to the wall or other obstacles; there may be other heat sources near the air compressor In this regard, it is recommended to install and use the air compressor in strict accordance with the installation and use environment requirements of the screw air compressor.
