How to maintain to extend the service life of the air compressor better?

With the widespread and widespread use of air compressors, it has brought great convenience to our industry and society, so how long is the service life of an air compressor? According to years of experience in the industry, it is generally 10-15 years. But specifically, it depends on the quality of the air compressor and how it is maintained. If maintained well, its service life will be longer than the general quality life.

If this is the case, then how should we maintain it to better extend the service life of the air compressor? I think we should start with the following 5 points:

1, must be regularly maintained

Air compressors are mechanical equipment with complex structures and powerful functions. Once a fault occurs and cannot be found and solved in time, it may lead to more serious consequences. Regular maintenance of air compressors is essential. One is to eliminate the defect before it occurs, and the other is to keep the air compressor running smoothly. There are some wearing parts in the air compressor, which should be replaced regularly according to regulations to avoid defects in the parts and cause the air compressor to malfunction. Always check accessories, cable lines, and replace them immediately if they are damaged. In addition, cleaning the filter can avoid many equipment defects, and an unclean filter will reduce the performance of the compressor and the service life of the compressor. Timely clean the filter screen, keep the machine clean, dry and free from oil, so that its performance can be fully exerted.

2. Cleaning and sewage

Air compressors work in places with many dust particles for a long time, which is easy to produce dirt. Therefore, it is recommended to discharge the sewage from the air storage tank of the air compressor in time. It is recommended to discharge it at least once a week, which depends on the working environment. Some important accessories also need frequent cleaning and maintenance, especially the filter elements of oil and gas separators, air filters and other components.

3. Choose good quality lubricating oil

Strictly prevent the oil of poor quality or a large amount of oil, the lubricating oil will be mixed with dust and hardened, and the organic substances in the oil will be mixed into black oil residue under a certain temperature and pressure, forming carbon deposits. It not only affects the normal operation of the intake valve, valve plate, spring, and piston ring, but also causes the air compressor to overheat and cause an explosion.

4. Selection of operating environment

The ambient temperature of the air compressor should be kept at 5-40°C, and it should not be placed in an unshielded place, and it should not be operated in a place where it is wet or where flammable and explosive liquid gases and multi-volatile gases are stored. Keep the environment clean and avoid unnecessary accidents. When the air compressor is not in use, the air in the air tank should be discharged.
