What is the order of stopping the air compressor

The sequence of stopping the air compressor can be different according to different air compressor types and operating requirements, but in general, it is recommended to follow the following steps:

first confirm that the air compressor is in normal operation and shut down according to the normal shutdown procedure. First, close the compressor outlet valve and wait for 5 to 10 minutes to stop the rotating parts of the compressor.

Turn off the power switch. Turn off the compressor motor switch first, disconnect the power supply, and the air compressor will be closed after the shutdown procedure is completed.

In addition, for piston air compressors, the shutdown sequence may include steps such as man-made unloading, stopping the motor operation, releasing man-made unloading, turning off the cooling water and auxiliary facilities. Before turning off the air compressor, the load should be reduced to a minimum to ensure that the machine stops running and then cut off the power supply to achieve the best condition.

During the shutdown process, the following points should also be paid attention:

when manually closing the air compressor, the outlet valve of the compressor must be closed first to avoid the backflow of residual high-pressure air after shutdown, causing accidents.

When turning off the power supply of the air compressor, first turn off the switch of the compressor motor and disconnect the power supply. In order to avoid misoperation, remove the power plug after shutdown to avoid accidents.

After shutdown, the valve of the pipeline leading to the workshop should be closed, and the compressed air and moisture inside the air compressor, air storage tank, dryer and pipeline should be emptied.

Close the door panels of the air compressor and dryer to prevent rats from entering the broken line. Cut off the power supply and pay attention to avoid rainwater intrusion.

For long-term shutdown of the air compressor, it is also necessary to do the corresponding maintenance work, such as plastic paper or oil paper to the air compressor controller, distribution box and other electrical equipment wrapped to prevent air intrusion; oil cooler, After the cooler water is completely discharged clean, to avoid the cooler under low temperature conditions, such as freezing crack damage. Before resuming the power-on, corresponding inspection and preparation work are also required.

The above information is for reference only. The specific shutdown sequence and precautions may vary depending on the type and operation requirements of the air compressor. It is recommended to refer to the operation manual of the air compressor or consult a professional to obtain accurate shutdown guidance.
