Common faults of screw air compressor

2026-04-09Views:

The common screw air compressor adopts high capacity compression components, the rotor outer circle speed is low and the best oil injection is achieved, which achieves high efficiency and high reliability, so it is loved by many people.

But ordinary screw air compressor also has its inevitable shortcomings, the failure rate will be relatively high.

Granklin Group is a manufacturer specializing in the production of Granklin water lubricated air compressors. We have studied in the air compressor industry so far to provide you with some key points of failure of ordinary screw air compressors.

Screw air compressor failure maintenance or some need to pay attention to the points, as an air compressor set research and development, production, after-sales enterprises, we hope to help all users in the use of air compressor.

1. Screw air compressor, low unit pressure

the reason for this failure is that the actual gas consumption is greater than the output gas of the unit;

screw air compressor bleed and intake valve failure; transmission system is abnormal, ambient temperature is too high, air filter is blocked; load solenoid valve (1SV) failure; minimum pressure valve is stuck;

there is leakage in the user pipe network; the failure of screw air compressor such as pressure sensor, pressure gauge and pressure switch will lead to low pressure of the unit; the pressure sensor or pressure gauge input hose leaks.

2. The screw air compressor unit has large fuel consumption or large oil content in compressed air

the reason for this failure is that there is too much cooling dose. The correct position should be observed when the unit is loaded. At this time, the oil level should not be higher than half;

oil return pipe blockage will also cause screw air compressor failure;

the installation of oil return pipe does not meet the requirements will cause the screw air compressor oil consumption is too large;

the exhaust pressure is too low when the unit is running; the rupture of the oil separation core will cause the screw air compressor to malfunction;

the internal partition of the separation cylinder is damaged; the coolant is deteriorated or used over time.
