How to speed up the air compressor when it pumps slowly?

The air compressor ran normally at first, but as the running time increased, the air pumping became slower and slower. What’s going on? This article will take you through why the air compressor pumping speed slows down and how to solve it.

1. Reasons why air compressor pumps slowly

(1) Poor sealing of the valve plate: When the air compressor is working, the valve plate is repeatedly impacted for a long time, causing the sealing surface to wear, causing part of the compressed air in the low-pressure cylinder to escape back into the cylinder, reducing the efficiency of the air compressor. Effective exhaust volume.

(2) Check valve stuck: Foreign matter enters the check valve, causing the check valve to fail to open and close normally, and the compressed gas produced cannot be discharged normally, causing the air compressor to slow down.

(3) The air filter is clogged and the intake valve is not fully opened: The air filter has not been cleaned for a long time and the intake valve is not fully opened, resulting in insufficient air intake. The air compressor does not have sufficient air supply and the air pumping speed will also change. slow.

(4) Serious air leakage in the gas system: The air compressor pipeline is damaged or has poor sealing, and gas leakage will also cause the air compressor to pump slowly.

2. Solutions to slow air compressor pumping

1. Check whether the air filter is clogged, clean the air filter regularly during operation, and shorten the replacement cycle appropriately in places where the air compressor operating environment is not good.

2. Check the pressure sensor of the air compressor. You can close the valve behind the gas tank or inflate it when production is stopped to see if it is loading and unloading normally within the set pressure.

1. The intake and exhaust valves are faulty and cannot be fully opened. Check whether the inlet and exhaust valves are fully open and whether they need adjustment.
