Disadvantages of permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor

Although the permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor has many advantages, such as high efficiency and energy saving, low noise, low vibration, etc., it also has some disadvantages. The following are some common disadvantages of permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor:

high maintenance cost: Due to the complex internal structure of the permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor and the high requirements for lubricating oil quality, frequent maintenance and maintenance are required, and the maintenance cost is relatively high.

Sensitive to the electromagnetic environment: The permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor will produce greater electromagnetic interference when working, which will affect the operation of other electronic equipment, especially for electromagnetic fragile equipment. Without proper shielding or protection, this interference can be difficult to eliminate.

The initial investment is higher: compared with the traditional fixed frequency air compressor, the price of permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor is higher. Although in the long run, its high efficiency and energy saving can help users save costs, but at the beginning of use, users need to do a good job of cost control.

The problem of oil content: For the oil-injected permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor, the compressed air contains oil, which is not suitable for the food industry and other industries that require oil-free compressed air.

Long-term shutdown problem: after long-term operation, the rotor in the air compressor may be stuck due to impurities in the lubricating oil, causing the standby air compressor to become extremely unreliable standby state.

Life and replacement cost: The body life of the oil-free permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor is relatively short, which may only be 3-5 years. Moreover, the technology of replacing and repairing the air compressor body is often retained by the original manufacturer, so the cost of replacing the whole air compressor body may exceed 60% of the purchase of a new machine.

Air tightness problem: The air tightness of the oil-free permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor may be poor, which is mainly caused by the gap that must exist between the yin and yang screws. This can result in less energy efficiency than other types of air compressors.

The demagnetization problem: The motor used in the permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor, which is most afraid of demagnetization. If the motor is in a high temperature state for a long time, demagnetization is prone to occur.

Please note that the above shortcomings are not all permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor will exist, the specific need to be evaluated according to the specific brand and model. When choosing an air compressor, it is recommended to consider comprehensively according to actual needs and the use environment.
