                                               When the cold wave hits, How to maintain the air compressor?

As an air compressor for production power, after shutting down in winter, you must pay attention to venting all gas, sewage, water, and draining water, gas, and oil in various pipes and air bags. Because the temperature of the unit is relatively high when it is working, after shutting down in winter, it will be affected by the external environment. When the temperature is low, a large amount of condensed water will be produced after the air is cooled, and it will exist in various control pipes, which can easily lead to hidden dangers such as blockage and cracking of the control pipes.

 Familiarizing yourself with the following winter air compressor maintenance tips will help you use your air compressor correctly in cold weather.

1. Inspection before starting up

Before the air compressor is not in use, we should first open the side cover and observe whether the oil has become thickened or frozen. It is necessary to ensure that the air compressor starts to supply air normally when the oil is not frozen.

2. Use original maintenance lubricants

Cold weather will affect the service life of lubricating oil. Generally, lubricating oil will show the following characteristics: the viscosity will decrease when the temperature is high, and the viscosity will increase when the temperature is low. The original air compressor lubricating oil has undergone rigorous technical testing and is scientifically produced within a wide temperature range.

3. Cold protection measures for drain valves and piping systems

To prevent condensed water from freezing in pipes and other parts due to low temperatures, it is very important to take cold-proof measures for the electronic drain valve and piping system.

4. Cold protection measures in the computer room

The temperature in the compressor room should be kept above zero, and cold protection measures should be taken to give the air compressor a home with a suitable temperature (0℃-38℃). When the compressor is shut down or not running, an electric heater needs to be appropriately activated to adjust the temperature.

5. Treatment after shutdown

After the screw air compressor is shut down, the gas must be discharged to 0.0bar shown on the display and then the valve must be closed. Open the automatic drain valves of the air compressor, air storage tank, and dryer, and then close them after the air and condensate are completely drained. When shut down for a long time, it must be started once a week.

6. Normal maintenance and reasonable spare parts

Although cold weather will bring great challenges to the work of air compressors, as long as protection is done well, no matter how harsh the environment is, it will not affect the ability of air compressors to continue to efficiently provide a steady stream of clean air to businesses and users.

7. Key points for winter protection of water-lubricated air compressors

When the ambient temperature is close to 0 degrees, the lubricating water in the air compressor will freeze. If you don't pay attention to the ice melting, the temperature will rise instantly when you turn on the computer in the morning or it will shut down due to overtemperature. In severe cases, the host may become stuck due to lack of water. Therefore, it is necessary to control the ambient temperature of the air compressor above 0°C, and jog it correctly 2-3 times when starting up to allow the lubricating water to circulate to prevent the air compressor from being overheated during operation.

What is commendable is the CEHGXING water-lubricated series, which has over-temperature, over-pressure protection, and unit anti-freeze protection; users can use it with peace of mind by paying attention to normal winter protection.
