Why Is The Air Compressor High Temperature?
Why is the air compressor high temperature?
For users who use air compressors, the high temperature of the air compressor is a very big problem, so why is the air compressor high temperature? What is the reason for the high temperature? For this problem, the following situations are simply sorted out:
1. Air filter clogged
The air filter is blocked and the air production is too small, causing the load of the air compressor to increase, so that the air compressor is in a loaded state for a long time, and the increase in heat production causes the air compressor to be high temperature.
2. Oil filter failure
The failure of the oil filter will lead to poor lubrication of the air compressor, which will cause high temperature; hinder the normal lubrication of the lubricating oil, affect the heat dissipation of the unit, and cause the high temperature of the air compressor.
3. The oil and gas separator is blocked
The oil and gas separator is blocked, causing the internal pressure of the air compressor to be too high, resulting in high temperature of the air compressor.
4. Is the pressure too high?
The pressure of the air compressor system is generally adjusted at the factory. If adjustment is required, the rated pressure on the nameplate shall prevail. If the adjustment is too high, the high temperature of the air compressor will be caused due to the increase in the load of the unit.
5. The temperature control valve fails
The temperature control lubricator is installed in front of the oil cooler, and its function is to maintain the discharge temperature of the compressor head above the pressure dew point. If the temperature control valve fails, the lubricating oil may directly enter the machine head without passing through the cooler, so that the oil temperature cannot be lowered, resulting in high temperature of the air compressor.
6. Oil cut-off valve failure
The oil shut-off valve of the air compressor is generally a two-position, two normally closed solenoid valve, which is opened when the machine is started and closed when it is stopped, so as to prevent the oil in the oil and gas barrel from continuing to be sprayed into the machine head and ejected from the air inlet when the machine is stopped. If the component is not turned on when loaded, the main engine will cause high temperature of the air compressor due to lack of oil, and in severe cases, the screw assembly will be burned.
7. Abnormal oil cooler
The abnormality of the oil cooler is mostly blockage or scaling, which reduces its cooling and heat exchange effect, resulting in the inability to reduce the temperature of the air compressor.
8. Machine head problem
The bearing of the screw air compressor head is generally required to be replaced at 20000h, because the clearance and balance of the air compressor are all positioned by the bearing. If the wear of the bearing increases, the heat production of the air compressor head will increase. cause high temperature in the air compressor.
