Consequences of poor drainage of air compressor

Poor drainage of the air compressor may have the following consequences:

internal corrosion: The moisture accumulated inside the air compressor may react with oxygen in the air and metal parts, causing internal corrosion. This corrosion will damage the internal structure of the air compressor, thereby affecting its performance and life.

Bacterial and microbial growth: The stagnant water provides a growing environment for bacteria and microorganisms, which can contaminate the compressed air, causing odors and health problems.

Gas path blockage: If the moisture inside the air compressor freezes, it may block the gas path, causing the air compressor to run poorly or even stop completely.

Lubrication problems: In some types of air compressors, moisture may affect the lubrication effect and aggravate the wear of components.

Compressed air quality problems: Moisture will reduce the quality of compressed air. For applications that require dry air (e. g., spray coating, food processing, etc.), moisture can cause product quality issues.

Safety issues: In the most serious cases, excessive moisture inside the air compressor and not draining it in time may cause compressed air to stay inside the machine, which in turn may cause safety issues such as overheating or explosion of the machine.

In summary, poor drainage of the air compressor will have a negative impact on equipment performance, product quality and production safety. Therefore, it is very important to keep the air compressor drainage system unblocked.
