Air volume drop analysis of screw air compressor –Shared by Sollant

The screw air compressor is one of the commonly used compressed air equipment in the industry, and sometimes the air volume will drop. Below we will introduce the possible causes and treatment methods of the air volume drop of the screw air compressor in detail.

If the air intake is polluted or the filter is dusty, it will prevent air from entering the machine, resulting in a decrease in air volume. At this time, the air intake and filter should be checked and cleaned regularly to avoid the accumulation of pollution and dust. Oil-air separator failure An oil-air separator is installed inside the screw air compressor, which can separate the oil in the compressed air. If the oil-air separator fails, oil can become trapped in the compressed air, causing a large build-up of grease in the piping and exhaust system, affecting air flow. At this time, it is necessary to repair or replace the oil and gas separator in time.

Insufficient or polluted lubricating oil The screw air compressor needs to use lubricating oil. If the oil is insufficient or polluted, it will cause increased friction inside the machine, which will reduce the air flow. Therefore, check and change the lubricating oil regularly, and perform maintenance on the oil filter and oil cooler according to the prescribed schedule. Pipeline air leakage Pipeline air leakage is also one of the common reasons for the decline in the air volume of the screw air compressor. Air leaks can cause a drop in air flow, affecting the proper functioning of the equipment.

Therefore, during the operation of the equipment, it is necessary to regularly check the pipeline to eliminate the problem of air leakage. Unstable air pressure The operation of the screw air compressor requires air pressure. If the air pressure is unstable, the air volume will drop. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the pressure gauge and pressure sensor are working normally, and adjust the pressure value of the pressure stabilizer to ensure that the air pressure is stable. Filter element clogging The filter element used in the screw air compressor needs to be replaced regularly. If the filter element is not replaced for a long time, a large amount of dust and dirt will accumulate, which will block the filter element and affect the air volume of the air compressor.
