Under what circumstances should an emergency shutdown be performed? If any of the following situations occur, the air compressor should be shut down immediately by pressing the emergency stop button. The cause must be identified and the issue resolved before restarting. 1. The current or exhaust pressure gauge suddenly exceeds the specified value. 2. For water-cooled air compr...
Read MoreThe screw compressor's main cylinder houses a pair of parallel, intermeshing male and female rotors with helical grooves. There is minimal clearance between the rotors and between the rotors and the housing, theoretically eliminating metal-to-metal contact during operation. Structurally, screw compressors are more stable and quieter than traditional piston compressors. However, many users e...
Read MoreAn air storage tank is not just an auxiliary device for compressed air; it is a crucial supplement to your compressed air system. It serves as a temporary storage space to meet peak demands of your system and helps optimize system efficiency. Regardless of the size of your compressed air system, an air storage tank offers numerous advantages for your compressed air setup: 1.Compresse...
Read MoreTo better understand common noise faults in air compressors, we can categorize them based on their causes and characteristics as follows: 1. Mechanical Noise Faults Mechanical noise is one of the most common noise faults in air compressors. It typically originates from internal moving components such as bearings, gears, and couplings. For example, bearings may wear out after long-term operation, p...
Read MoreAir compressors have extremely stringent requirements for lubricating oil. Therefore, correctly selecting and properly lubricating compressor oil is a crucial measure to ensure the safe and stable operation of the compressor. Let’s take a closer look at the functions of air compressor lubricating oil and the common misconceptions surrounding its use. Functions of Lubricating Oil Lubr...
Read MoreI. Energy Saving in the Design Phase 1.Proper Selection: During the design phase, we must carefully select the appropriate type of air compressor (e.g., centrifugal, screw-type) based on the production process's demand for compressed air, usage time, and air quality requirements. It is essential to ensure that the air compressor's output matches the demand to avoid "large horse pulling a small car...
Read MoreWhen dealing with common noise faults in air compressors, the following solutions can be adopted: 1. Solutions to Mechanical Noise Faults For mechanical noise caused by moving components such as bearings, gears, and couplings, worn parts that affect normal equipment operation can be replaced as needed, ensuring all components meet standard assembly quality. Improve the lubrication system to effect...
Read MoreThe basic knowledge of air compressors includes the following aspects: 1. Definition and Applications: An air compressor is a device that converts the kinetic energy of a prime mover into the pressure energy of gas. It is commonly used as a power source for pneumatic tools, pipeline transportation, and pressure filling of gas cylinders. Air compressors are widely applied in various fields s...
