Does the oil-injected air compressor need drainage?

Oil injection type air compressor must be drained, and not only to drain, but also often.

The reason is simple. When the air is compressed, the temperature will rise. When the air cools down, the water inside will condense into water droplets. The water will sink at the bottom of the gas storage tank and pipeline. If it is not drained in time, the water will follow the compressed air to the gas equipment, causing the pneumatic tools to rust, the product to be damp, and the pipeline to corrode.

What is more troublesome is that there is oil in the oil-injected air compressor itself. The mixture of oil and water will turn into sticky emulsion, blocking pipes and damaging seals. It is a headache to clean up in the later period. Therefore, in the daily maintenance of oil-injected air compressors, drainage and oil drainage are the most basic operations, and problems may occur once less.

Is there a more worry-free plan. Water lubricated oil-free screw air compressor is a kind of idea. It uses water instead of oil inside, and the compressed air itself does not contain oil, so there is no problem of oil-water mixing. Although the compression process will also produce condensed water, but also need to discharge, but the discharge is pure water, no sludge, there will be no sticky things in the pipeline accumulation, later maintenance is much easier. And because there is no oil, there is no need to change the oil, no need to deal with waste oil, the overall use of more simple.

Simply put, the oil-injected air compressor should not only drain but also drain oil, and the maintenance burden is heavy. The water-lubricated oil-free screw air compressor only needs to drain, and the drain is clean water, which is much simpler to maintain. If you are using a fuel injection machine now, don't be lazy about drainage.
