What happens if the screw air compressor is not maintained?

There are 5 major hazards of screw air compressors not being maintained. As a person in the air compressor industry, you must understand:

1. The oil return pipe joint of the screw air compressor is not cleaned: if it is blocked, a small part of the oil will enter the pipeline with the air after separation, resulting in a large oil loss and lack of oil.

2. Grease is added to the bearing of the main motor of the screw air compressor from time to time: the bearing wears out until the main motor burns out. Users who have replaced the permanent magnet variable frequency screw air compressor do not need to add it. Because the permanent magnet frequency conversion air compressor is an integrated shaft structure, there is no bearing.

3. Irregular dust blowing and replacement of the air filter element of the screw air compressor will cause: the air filter element is blocked, the air intake volume is reduced, and the exhaust volume is also reduced. Unscheduled replacement will cause negative pressure to increase and press through, pollutants will enter the machine, clogging the oil filter, oil separation core, deterioration of cooling lubricating oil, and wear of the main engine. It is recommended to replace it every 2000 hours. Although it is helpful to clean the filter element by blowing dust, the filter element is relatively fragile and easily damaged. After cleaning, it is difficult to find that the filter element is damaged. bigger.

4. The oil filter of the screw air compressor is replaced irregularly: as the pressure difference between the front and rear increases, the oil flow decreases, and the exhaust temperature of the main engine of the screw air compressor rises and stops. Internally, the oil separation core will be blocked, and the main engine will wear out. Once coked, it will cause the main engine to be stuck. At that time, the cost of maintenance will increase significantly.

5. The oil separation core of the screw air compressor is not replaced: as the front and rear pressure difference increases, the current of the main motor increases, and the exhaust volume also decreases. If the pressure difference between the front and rear is too large and breaks down, the cooling lubricating oil will enter the pipeline with the air until it runs out, and the exhaust temperature of the main engine will rise and stop.
