What if the screw air compressor finds water cut off

Screw air compressor water cooling components include cylinder, intercooler, air compressor after cooler and lubricating oil cooler, etc. Its normal operation is closely related to these components. So, what if the screw air compressor is found to be out of water?

1. One of the purposes of cylinder and intercooler cooling is to reduce the exhaust temperature and control the exhaust temperature within the allowable range. It can be seen that after the screw air compressor is cut off, the cylinder and the intercooler cannot be effectively cooled, and the exhaust temperature of the air compressor rises rapidly. This will not only cause the lubricating oil in the cylinder to lose its lubricating performance, but also cause a considerable part of the moving parts to wear, and will decompose the lubricating oil, and the volatile components in the oil will mix with the air, causing accidents such as combustion and explosion.

2. For the after-cooler, the water cut-off of the air compressor will cause the after-cooler to lose its cooling effect. In this way, the temperature of the air fed into the air separation plant will rise too high, and the normal working condition of the air separation plant will be destroyed.

3. For the air compressor lubricating oil cooler, the water cut-off of the air compressor will make the lubricating oil not well cooled, and the temperature of the air compressor lubricating oil will also increase. In this way, the viscosity of the lubricating oil will decrease, the lubrication performance will become worse, and the moving parts will also be quite damaged, which will increase the power consumption and reduce the service life of the mechanical equipment; the heavy will cause the lubricating oil to decompose and the volatile components in the oil will be mixed into the air. In, causing a series of equipment accidents.

In short, the screw air compressor in the operation process, cooling is a very important link, the air compressor should always pay attention to the cooling water, once the water must be stopped immediately maintenance.
