What happens if the screw air compressor oil is added too much

2026-04-10Views:

Screw air compressor daily use can not be separated from the same maintenance of lubricating oil also need to change the oil, the general replacement of air compressor lubricating oil, the need to discharge the original old lubricating oil, add new air compressor lubricating oil can be.

When adding lubricating oil to the new air compressor, most of them are displayed through the observation mirror liquid level. After adding to the designated position, however, the phenomenon of adding more lubricating oil to the air compressor often occurs in actual operation. Then will adding more lubricating oil affect the normal operation of the unit?

screw air compressor lubricating oil plus more?

The increase of lubricating oil in the screw air compressor will consume a lot of oil, and the compressed air produced will contain oil. After the machine is running, the excess oil will be taken away in the air, and there is no major abnormality to the equipment.

If the machine is unloaded and stopped during operation, it may inject oil from the unloading valve, causing oil on the air filter, affecting the service life of the air filter, and the quality of the compressed air produced is not high.

screw air compressor lubricating oil plus more?

When the air compressor is added with lubricating oil, a small amount of it is no problem and will not affect the normal use of the machine. When a large amount of oil is released in the shutdown state, the oil level should be lower than the upper limit of the oil standard. For operation, it does not matter where the oil level is.

As long as the machine does not have high temperature, the amount of oil will not be too large and does not need to be added. Drain the excess oil is a rational approach. We can not because of the loss of lubricating oil and lead to other parts failure, compressed air quality decline and thus affect the quality of production.

If the oil barrel is added too much, the space between the separator core and the bottom liquid in the oil barrel is limited. In the oil and gas separation process, it is difficult to achieve the physical separation effect of oil truncation and collision. Even if there is liquid oil splashed on the oil core, the oil core is powerless, and it is inevitable that the amount of oil discharged is high. Therefore, it is very important to keep the lubricating oil of the screw air compressor within a reasonable range.

    Comparison of oil-free air compressor and oil-free air compressor

    Several advantages of oil-free air compressor, as well as the difference between oil-free air compressor and oil-free air compressor. Specifically, look at their differences: oil and no oil in the air compressor generally refer to the amount of oil content in the gas discharged from the exhaust port of the air compressor. Generally, the oil content of the oil machine is relatively large, and the oil content of the oil-free oil machine is 0.01ppm, so this oil content is used to distinguish the oil and no oil in the air compressor. There is also a full oil-free air compressor, it is not the use of oil lubrication, but the use of water lubrication, so the final discharge of the gas does not contain oil called full oil-free air compressor.

    Air compressor cold dryer principle high temperature failure reason

    Compressed air can be pressurized, cooling, adsorption and other methods to remove the water vapor, and can be through heating, filtration, mechanical separation and other methods to remove liquid moisture. Refrigerated dryer is a kind of equipment that cools the compressed air to remove the water vapor contained in it and obtain relatively dry compressed air. The rear cooler of the air compressor also uses cooling to exclude the water vapor contained therein. Adsorption dryer is the use of adsorption principle to remove the water vapor contained in compressed air.
