How to choose the air compressor maintenance method?

Whether the air compressor maintenance method is partial maintenance or overhaul, each has its own advantages and disadvantages when measured from maintenance costs, downtime losses and other aspects. How to choose an air compressor maintenance method? You must first distinguish the type of air compressor failure.

1. Regular failures and sporadic failures

Regular failures refer to failures caused by the degree of wear and time. Sporadic random faults have a probability of failure that has nothing to do with time. These two kinds of faults are divided into two types: development period and non-development period.

2. Preventive maintenance and subsequent maintenance

Regular faults with a development period, such as the wear of tires and connecting parts, can be observed, recorded and predicted in daily life, and are suitable for preventive maintenance and regular maintenance; regular faults without a development period are prone to appear on parts, such as fatigue fracture, Damage to electrical components, etc., is suitable for subsequent repairs, as long as sufficient replacement parts are needed; for sporadic faults with a development period, although they are sporadic, preventive maintenance can be carried out in advance by observing the development period; for those without development, Occasional failures during the period can only be repaired afterwards.

For non-key equipment that has little impact from the shutdown, it can be repaired urgently after a failure occurs. As a key piece of equipment, air compressors must be equipped with spare parts if sudden shutdown affects production losses. If a fault occurs, it can be replaced or replaced immediately until the faulty part is repaired.

3.Improvement maintenance. Improvement maintenance focuses on improving the performance of the original structure and components. It is usually carried out in conjunction with other maintenance methods, that is, troubleshooting and performance improvement are performed simultaneously during preventive maintenance or subsequent maintenance. However, it is necessary to understand the cause of the fault in advance and implement it together during shutdown or preventive maintenance.
