What is the working pressure of the air compressor of 3-9 kg?

The working pressure range of an air compressor is 3-9 kg, which usually means that its exhaust pressure can be adjusted or stabilized between 0.3 MPa and 0.9 MPa. This parameter is the core basis for matching equipment selection and application. The following professional explanations are provided from the perspective of technical specifications and industry applications:

1. Analysis of pressure units and ranges

  1. unit conversion
    • Kilogram force/square centimeter (kgf/cm²): 1 kilogram of force/square centimeter is approximately equal to 0.0981 MPa (MPa), so the pressure range of 3-9 kilograms corresponds to 0.3-0.9 MPa.
    • International System of Units (SI): In engineering technical documents, pressure is usually expressed in megapascals (MPa) or bar (bar), and 1 bar=0.1 MPa.
  2. pressure fluctuation range is
    • design margin: The nominal pressure range of the equipment usually contains a fluctuation margin of ±5% to ±10% to adapt to load changes and operating conditions fluctuations.
    • stable output: During continuous operation, pressure fluctuations should be controlled within ±0.05 MPa to ensure stable operation of gas equipment.

2. Matching technical characteristics and applications

  1. Pressure regulation mechanism
    • intelligent control system: Modern air compressors use pressure sensors and frequency converters to adjust the motor speed in real time to maintain stable exhaust pressure.
    • Unloading valve adjustment: Traditional models adjust the exhaust volume through the opening of the unloading valve to achieve rough pressure adjustment.
  2. typical application scenarios
    • Machinery ManufacturingIn machine tool processing, 0.5-0.7 MPa pressure drives pneumatic chuck and tool cooling system to ensure machining accuracy.
    • food packagingIn the nitrogen filling packaging line, 0.6-0.8 MPa pressure drives the modified atmosphere packaging machine to achieve accurate nitrogen filling and sealing.
    • medical equipment: In the dental treatment chair, a pressure of 0.4-0.6 MPa drives the high-speed turbine handpiece to provide stable cutting power.

3. Equipment selection and operation optimization

  1. selection principle
    • load matching: According to the total air consumption and pressure requirements of the gas equipment, select a model with a displacement slightly greater than the actual demand.
    • energy efficiency rating: Priority is given to first-level energy efficiency models, and their comprehensive energy efficiency ratio (IER) is increased by more than 15% compared with third-level energy efficiency models.
  2. Operation and maintenance points
    • pressure calibration: Use a precision pressure gauge to calibrate the equipment pressure sensor every six months, and the error should be controlled within ±1%.
    • Pipeline optimization: Reduce the number of pipeline elbows and joints, reduce pressure losses, and ensure stable pressure at the end gas point.
    • leak detection: Regularly use ultrasonic leak detectors to check pipeline leaks, and the leak rate should be controlled within 5% of the total flow.

4. Industry application cases

  1. automobile manufacturing
    • application scenarios: In the stamping workshop, a pneumatic press is driven by a pressure of 0.8 MPa to complete the stamping and forming of body sheet metal parts.
    • device configuration: Select a screw air compressor, equipped with a gas storage tank and a freeze dryer to ensure stable air pressure and clean gas.
  2. electronics manufacturing
    • application scenarios: In the SMT mounting line, a pressure of 0.5 MPa drives the nozzle to absorb electronic components to achieve accurate mounting.
    • device configuration: Select oil-free air compressor to avoid oil pollution of precision electronic components.

conclusion: The working pressure range of air compressors is 3-9 kg (0.3-0.9 MPa), which is a widely used pressure range in the industrial field. Its technical characteristics and equipment selection need to be matched based on specific application scenarios. Through intelligent control, pipeline optimization and regular maintenance, the equipment can be ensured to operate under optimal operating conditions and provide stable and efficient air source guarantee for industrial production.
