Safety rules and operating procedures for air compressors

Safety rules and operating procedures for air compressors

1. safety rules

before starting the air compressor, a comprehensive inspection must be carried out to ensure that all protective devices and safety accessories are in good condition. In particular, safety valves and pressure gauges need to be inspected regularly, usually once a month and every three months.

It is strictly prohibited to place flammable, explosive, volatile and corrosive items near the air compressor to prevent danger.

It is forbidden to use flammable materials and gasoline to clean the machine parts to prevent explosion. If the use of diesel cleaning machine parts, must ensure that no load operation after 10 minutes, can be put into normal work.

Operators should stay away from moving parts, and overpressure operation is strictly prohibited.

2. operating procedures

preparation before operation:

ensure that the air compressor is set in a well-ventilated area and away from flammable and explosive materials.

Check whether the power supply voltage matches the rated voltage of the air compressor and ensure that the power supply is stable.

Check the cooling system, lubrication system and gas outlet pipeline of the air compressor to ensure that they are in normal working condition.

Up and running:

turn on the main switch of the air compressor and check the operating status of the starting device, control system and pressure gauge.

Observe the operating status of the air compressor to ensure that the motor and compressor work normally.

During operation, check the cooling water flow and temperature, lubricating oil pressure and temperature, and gas outlet pressure and flow regularly to ensure that they all meet the work requirements.

Shutdown and maintenance:

after stopping operation, ensure continuous water supply for a quarter of an hour before stopping water supply. After the shutdown in winter, all the residual water in the cylinder and cooler must be discharged to prevent freezing.

Regularly maintain the air compressor to ensure its long-term stable operation.

In addition, the personnel operating the air compressor must receive relevant safety training and have knowledge of operation and emergency response to ensure that they can respond correctly in emergency situations.

In general, compliance with these safety rules and operating procedures can ensure the safe operation of the air compressor and extend its service life.
