How to deal with water in air compressor

2026-04-10Views:

in the process of using the air compressor, can not avoid will encounter some fault, some users found air compressor tank water, began to panic, do not know how to do air compressor tank water, air compressor, in view of this situation, small make up to explain to you.

What is the reason why the air compressor tank has more water?

As a kind of power equipment, the air compressor provides compressed air power source for pneumatic equipment. During the operation of the air compressor system, the inside of the system relies on lubricating oil to lubricate the equipment. No water is added to the inside of the machine, and no water is added to the compressed air. That is to say, the air compressor does not produce any water, and the air compressor is only a natural porter.

Why do you say this? It is because the air contains water. When the gas is compressed, the water in the air will precipitate. This is a physical phenomenon.

The water content in the air is related to the humidity of the air. When the weather is dry, the water content in the air is less. When the air compressor is compressed, the water content in the compressed air will be less. For example, when the air compressor is compressed, the air humidity will be high. When the air compressor is compressed, the water content in the compressed air will increase. This is also the reason why the water content in the air tank of the air compressor is relatively large. This is normal. This is a normal, to ensure that the exhaust temperature of the air compressor is above 68 degrees, there is no problem and you can use it with confidence.

What if there is water in the air compressor tank?

1. The gas tank is a pressure vessel, and the qualification examination of the manufacturer is very strict. Moreover, the gas storage tank can obtain the pressure vessel license, which proves that the design of the gas storage tank is qualified. According to the national standard, the possibility of corrosion of condensed water has been fully considered in the design of the gas storage tank, and the corrosion allowance of our country is very large.

Let me tell you this. As long as it is a gas storage tank produced by a regular manufacturer, you have half a tank of water in the gas storage tank. It is impossible to rust and leak for less than ten years, unless the compressed air contains acidic or alkaline components.

2. It is best to install a gas-water separator in front of the gas storage tank. Generally, the air compressor comes with it.

3. There must be a sewage outlet at the bottom of the gas storage tank. Install a ball valve and discharge it regularly. If it is too troublesome, you can also install an automatic drain at the drain outlet of the air storage tank. Remember to have a better quality, or it is easy to block. Blocked is useless.

4. Whether the pipeline design is reasonable. The compressed air pipeline is generally required to be inclined by about 1 °. A sewage outlet is installed at the end of the pipeline to discharge regularly. The inlet of the air storage tank should go down and up. If the air is taken from the system pipeline, it is best to enter the air storage tank. Above the main pipe, make a 180 ° bend neck down and connect it to the inlet of the air storage tank.
