What is the pressure of an air compressor in a general factory adjusted?

The pressure setting of the factory air compressor needs to be comprehensively determined based on the actual needs of the gas equipment and energy-saving requirements. Specific suggestions are as follows:

1. Universal pressure range

The standard working pressure for most factory equipment is usually within0.6-0.8 MPa (MPa)between (i.e. 6-8 kg pressure). This range can meet the operating needs of common equipment such as pneumatic tools, spraying equipment, and packaging machinery, while taking into account energy efficiency.

2. setting principle

  • Minimum demand shall prevail: Give priority to investigating the minimum working pressure requirements of key gas-consuming equipment (such as core units of the production line) to avoid excessive setting leading to waste of energy consumption.
  • dynamic adjustment: If the factory uses various types of gas equipment, the pressure can be set in different areas (such as 0.7 MPa in the spraying area and 0.6 MPa in the packaging area), and accurate supply can be achieved through pipeline branch control.

3. Energy conservation and maintenance recommendations

  • Avoid pressure redundancy: For every 0.1 MPa increase in pressure, energy consumption will increase by about 5%-7%. It is recommended to determine the optimal setting value through pressure flow calculation.
  • periodic calibration: Check the accuracy of the pressure gauge every month to ensure that the displayed value is consistent with the actual output to avoid pressure deviations caused by instrument errors.

4. Special scene adjustment

  • high-precision equipment(such as assembly of electronic components): It needs to be increased to 0.8-1.0 MPa, but it needs to be equipped with drying and filtering equipment to ensure air cleanliness.
  • Heavy industry scenarios(e.g., casting, glass production): 1.0-1.2 MPa may be required, but the pressure bearing capacity of the pipeline and equipment durability need to be evaluated.

summary: It is recommended that the factory set the air compressor pressure to0.6-0.8 MPaBasic scope, fine-tuning according to actual gas equipment needs, while reducing operating costs through regular inspections and energy-saving optimization.
