Why should the air compressor drain

Air compressor needs drainage operation, mainly based on the following reasons:

1. to avoid equipment failure

1. condensate formation:

   • the air always contains a certain amount of moisture, the so-called humidity. When the air containing moisture is compressed, the moisture will be compressed into a supersaturated state, and then form condensed water. Especially in a humid environment, the water content in the air may exceed the use standard, forming more condensed water.

2. Condensate water hazard:

   • if the condensate is not discharged in time, it will accumulate inside the air compressor. This will lead to abnormal operation and failure of the air compressor, such as rust, blockage, etc. Long-term accumulation may also affect the performance and service life of the air compressor.

2. guarantee gas quality

1. affect gas quality:

   • if the condensate is not removed in time, it will increase the water content in the compressed air, thus affecting the quality of the gas. This has an impact on the back-end gas-using equipment, which may cause equipment failure or performance degradation.

2. Oil and gas separation effect becomes worse:

   • the existence of condensed water will also affect the normal operation of the oil and gas separator, resulting in poor oil and gas separation effect. This will increase the differential pressure of the oil and gas separator, reduce its separation efficiency, and even cause corrosion of parts.

3. maintenance equipment performance

1. protection of lubricating oil:

   • condensate water will also contaminate the lubricating oil, reducing its lubrication performance and service life. This will lead to unstable operation of the air compressor and increase maintenance costs.

2. Extend equipment life:

   • through regular drainage, the interior of the air compressor can be kept clean, reducing the probability of failure, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

The role of 4. automatic drainer

1. intelligent drainage:

   • the automatic drainer can intelligently sense the amount of water and discharge itself when it reaches a certain amount. This saves the trouble of manual drainage and improves drainage efficiency.

2. prevent pollution:

   • the automatic drainer can prevent the condensed water from polluting the compressed air again due to forgetting the manual drainage, thereby ensuring the purity of the gas.

In summary, the drainage operation of the air compressor is one of the important measures to maintain and maintain the air compressor. By draining the condensed water in time, equipment failure can be avoided, gas quality can be guaranteed, equipment performance can be maintained and service life can be extended.
