Why Air Compressors Need Timing Drain

2026-04-10Views:

If the condensed water of the air compressor is not discharged for a long time, the inside of the unit will rust and the lubricating oil effect will be reduced, which will affect the operation of the air compressor. In summer, the air compressor can also stop and start continuously.

What is the basic principle?

The key to the condensate of the air compressor comes from the gas. The air sucked by the air compressor contains water. This steam containing water enters the device. As the operating temperature of the gas increases, this water evaporates, and the evaporated water is cooled together with the compressed air into the air compressor water tank, and a large amount of liquid water settles down, called condensed water. Now the air humidity is high, condensation water is more.

How does the air compressor drain work?

Before starting the equipment, open the filter valve of the separation equipment, drain the condensate, check whether there is leakage, and check the safety valve. Ordinary users before or at the end of the operation, the condensate is completely deposited and drained, without affecting the normal use of the air compressor unit, to ensure the drainage effect.

    Air compressor preferred energy-saving permanent magnet air compressor

    Air compressors consume a lot of electricity in the production of enterprises, accounting for about 30%-60% of the total electricity consumption of enterprises. Especially when the unloading pressure is reached, the air compressor will be idling, resulting in serious waste of electric energy. The power consumption of air compressor at unloading time is about 45% of that at full load, which shows that the traditional (power frequency) air compressor has huge energy saving space.

    Safety Measures in the Work of Air Compressor

    What are the safety measures in the work of the air compressor?(1) When the compressed air is cooled, the oil-water mixture condensed in the cooler, air storage barrel and oil separator must be blown off in time, at least once per hour. (2) When the air compressor is working, if the cooling water supply is not timely, it must be parked immediately to be cooled.

    Advantages of oil-free water lubrication air compressor

    The water lubricated air compressor produced by granklin group does not contain oil. it only needs to replace the air filter element and water filter element regularly according to the manufacturer's requirements and maintain the head of the water lubricated air compressor. Oil and no oil in the air compressor generally refers 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. Therefore, the oil content is used to distinguish the oil and no oil in the air compressor.
