Disadvantages of permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor

The shortcomings of permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor mainly include the following:

oil problem: For oil-injected permanent magnet variable frequency air compressors, the compressed air contains oil, which may not be applicable in specific industries such as the food industry, because the oil may contaminate the product.

Rotor stuck phenomenon: After long-term operation, the rotor in the oil-injected permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor may be stuck due to impurities in the lubricating oil, which affects the reliability and standby state of the air compressor.

Life and replacement costs are high: the body life of the oil-free permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor is relatively short, usually only 3-5 years. In addition, the cost of replacing the entire air compressor body often exceeds 60% of the purchase of a new machine, which increases the cost of use.

Poor air tightness: In the oil-free permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor, the gap that must exist between the female and male screws may lead to poor air tightness, which is one of the main reasons for its poor energy efficiency.

Afraid of demagnetization: The motor used in the permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor is a permanent magnet motor, which has the risk of demagnetization. Especially when the motor is in a high temperature state for a long time, demagnetization is likely to occur.

Maintenance is relatively troublesome: Compared with ordinary compressors, the maintenance of permanent magnet frequency converters is more complicated. During the maintenance of the machine head, the motor needs to be disassembled and professional tools must be used because of the strong attraction of the rotor. This requires maintenance personnel to have professional skills.

High manufacturing cost: Due to the high technical requirements of the permanent magnet synchronous motor itself, the manufacturing cost of the permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor is relatively high. This also led to its market price is higher than the traditional air compressor.

High maintenance costs: Although the failure rate of permanent magnet synchronous motors is low, once a failure occurs, its repair and maintenance costs will be relatively high. This requires maintenance personnel with professional knowledge and skills.

In summary, although the permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor has the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection, it also needs to weigh its shortcomings when choosing to use it, and determine whether it is suitable for use according to specific needs.
