When there is water in the air compressor, you can take the following methods to deal:
1. direct drainage method
- drainage with drain valve:
- A drain valve is usually provided at the bottom of the air compressor cooler. Once found that there is water inside the air compressor, should immediately open the drain valve, the water quickly discharged.
- Similarly, a drain valve can be installed at the lowest end of the air compressor air tank to regularly discharge accumulated moisture. This method is simple and direct, is a common means to deal with the air compressor water.
2. Auxiliary Equipment Act
- installation of cold dryer or dryer:
- after the air compressor is exhausted, a cold dryer or dryer can be installed. These devices can effectively remove the moisture in the compressed air and improve the dryness of the air. However, when using the cold dryer, it is necessary to regularly check its working status to ensure that the drainage effect is not affected.
3. pretreatment method
- hot and cold interaction method:
- through the cold and heat interaction technology, the newly generated hot compressed air is pre-cooled. This method can reduce the temperature of the compressed air in advance, thereby reducing the amount of moisture gasification, which helps to reduce the accumulation of moisture in the subsequent treatment process.
4. maintenance method
- regularly check and replace the filter element:
- during the maintenance of the air compressor, ensure the correct installation and regular replacement of the filter element. The filter element is a key component to prevent moisture and impurities in the air from entering the air compressor. If the filter element is displaced or damaged, it will seriously affect its filtering effect.
- At the same time, attention should also be paid to cleaning and replacing the dust on the filter to avoid affecting the air intake and exhaust efficiency of the air compressor due to filter blockage.
- Replace the oil filter and oil core:
- the oil filter will gradually accumulate impurities and moisture during use, which will affect its filtering effect. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check whether the switch of the oil filter is working properly, and replace it if necessary.
- The performance of the oil core will also affect the operating efficiency of the air compressor. For large air compressors, the oil core is usually located in the tank and needs to be replaced after a certain number of hours of work (such as 4000 hours).
- Regularly replace lubricating oil:
- lubricating oil plays a role of lubrication and sealing during the operation of the air compressor. However, over time, impurities and moisture will accumulate in the lubricating oil, reducing its lubricating effect. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the internal lubricating oil regularly, and check the oil level line frequently during use, and add new oil in time.
To sum up, the treatment of water in the air compressor needs to take a combination of various methods. Through the comprehensive use of direct drainage, auxiliary equipment, pretreatment and maintenance, the problem of water accumulation inside the air compressor can be effectively solved to ensure the normal operation and service life of the air compressor.
