Some users reported slow inflation during the air compressor's operation. This issue directly leads to insufficient air flow, low efficiency and energy waste. What are the common causes? And how to troubleshoot and resolve it? Let us walk you through the details.

1、Check if the air filter is clogged. Clean the air filter on a regular basis, and shorten the replacement cycle appropriately in poor working environments.

2、Inspect the pressure sensor of the air compressor. You can close the valve behind the air receiver or inflate the tank during production shutdown to verify that the machine loads and unloads correctly at the set pressure.

3、Malfunction of intake and exhaust valves (failure to fully open). Check if the intake and exhaust valves are fully open and whether adjustment is needed.

4、Air-end malfunctions. Inspect the air supply efficiency of the air end. Close the valve behind the air receiver and then inflate the air receiver. Record the time from the display of load to unload, and draw a conclusion based on the oil tank volume and air flow rate indicated on the nameplate of the air compressor.

5、Increased air consumption (air consumption exceeding air output). Carefully check the air pipelines and equipment for air leakage; the air compressor and air-using equipment should be installed at a reasonable distance (not excessively far). Also check if there is any newly added air-using equipment, or if the air compressor is undersized for the actual demand.
