Air Compressor Maintenance And Cleaning Methods

Clean the cooler core if the exhaust temperature is particularly high or when high temperature shutdown occurs. Regular AIPU air compressor maintenance should also check the separator tank, exhaust pipe, cooler and other heating and heat transfer equipment and components, and remove grease and carbon deposits. thing.

In a very clean working environment and the intake air filter is replaced at intervals specified in the table above. Cooling oil filters and separators should be replaced more frequently in very dirty environments. Air filter, the dust in the inhaled air is blocked in the filter to avoid premature wear of the air compressor and blockage of the oil separator, usually after 1000 hours of operation or a year, the filter element should be replaced, In dusty areas, the replacement interval should be shortened. The filter must be shut down for maintenance. In order to reduce the downtime, it is recommended to replace it with a new or cleaned spare filter element.

The steps to clean the filter element are as follows:

1. Tap the ends of the filter element alternately against a flat surface to remove most of the heavy, dry ash.

2. Blow with dry air less than 0.28MPa in the opposite direction to the inhaled air. The distance between the nozzle and the folded paper is at least 25mm, and blow up and down along its length.

3. If there is grease on the filter element, it should be washed in warm water with non-foaming detergent, soak the filter element in this warm water for at least 15 minutes, and wash it with clean water in the hose. Do not use heating to accelerate it. Dry, a filter element can be washed 5 times, and then discarded for reuse.

4. Put a light in the filter element for inspection. If it is found to be thin, pinholes or damaged, it should be discarded.

The inspection steps are as follows:

1. Close the air supply valve;

2. Connect the water source;

3. Start the unit;

4. While observing the working pressure, slowly rotate the adjusting bolt of the pressure regulator clockwise. When the pressure reaches the specified value, the safety valve has not been opened or has been opened before reaching the specified value, it must be adjusted.

The adjustment steps are as follows:

1. Remove the cap and seal maintenance method;

2. If the valve opens too early, loosen the lock nut and tighten the positioning bolt by half a turn. If the valve opens too late, loosen the lock nut about one turn and loosen the positioning bolt by half a turn.

3. Repeat the detection steps. If the safety valve still cannot be opened at the specified pressure value, adjust it again.
