The main reason for refueling the air compressor is to ensure the normal operation of the machine and extend its service life. Specifically, the importance of air compressor refueling is reflected in the following aspects:
1. lubrication
- reduce wear: There are many high-speed running parts inside the air compressor, such as crankshafts, connecting rods, pistons, etc. These parts will produce friction during operation. If lubricating oil is not added in time, it will cause direct contact between the parts, thereby increasing wear. Lubricating oil can form a layer of lubricating film on the surface of the parts to reduce friction resistance and protect the parts from wear.
- Improve efficiency: Good lubrication can reduce the friction between components, reduce energy consumption, and improve the operating efficiency of the air compressor.
2. cooling effect
- control temperature: The air compressor will generate a lot of heat during operation, especially when running under high load, the temperature will rise sharply. The lubricating oil can absorb and take away part of the heat in the process of circulating flow, play the role of cooling and cooling, and prevent the machine from overheating.
- Prevent overheating: Overheating will cause the performance of the machine to decrease and even damage the parts. The presence of lubricating oil can effectively control the temperature of the machine and ensure the stable operation of the air compressor.
3. cleaning effect
- take away impurities when the air compressor is working, the air may contain dust, metal particles and other impurities. After these impurities enter the inside of the machine, they will adhere to the surface of the parts, affecting the performance and life of the machine. Lubricating oil has a cleaning effect, which can take away these impurities and keep the inside of the machine clean.
- Reduced failure: The presence of impurities may cause increased friction between components and even cause failure. Through the cleaning effect of the lubricating oil, the occurrence of such failures can be reduced.
4. anti-rust and anti-corrosion
- protection of metal parts: The metal parts inside the air compressor are easily corroded by humid air. Lubricating oil can form a protective film on the surface of the component, isolate air and moisture, and play a role in preventing rust and corrosion.
- Prolong service life: Anti-rust and anti-corrosion measures can protect metal parts from corrosion and extend the service life of the machine.
5. sealing function
- prevent leakage: The lubricating oil can also form a sealing film between the components to prevent gas leakage and dust entry. This is of great significance to ensure the performance and efficiency of the air compressor.
Precautions
- choosing the Right Lubricant different types of air compressors require different types of lubricants. The appropriate lubricating oil should be selected according to the model, working conditions and operating requirements of the air compressor.
- Regularly replace lubricating oil: Lubricating oil will gradually deteriorate and pollute during use, which will affect the lubrication effect. Therefore, the lubricating oil should be replaced regularly to ensure the normal operation of the air compressor.
- Avoid mixing lubricants: Different grades, grades, brands of air compressor oil is prohibited to mix. Mixing may cause the machine to accumulate carbon, reduce performance or even be unusable.
Generally speaking, the refueling of air compressor is an important measure to ensure its normal operation and prolong its service life. Through lubrication, cooling, cleaning, rust and corrosion prevention and sealing, lubricating oil provides comprehensive protection for the air compressor.
