The release of the group standard for medical air compressors in central sterile supply departments provides an important regulatory framework for the safe supply of medical gases. This standard specifies technical requirements for equipment regarding air‑source quality, operational…
This paper provides a detailed analysis of a PLC‑based control scheme for the parallel operation of two frequency‑controlled gas boosters supplying gas to a main pipeline. The discussion covers the hardware architecture, master–slave control strategy, pressure closed-loop regulation,…
Water accumulation or poor drainage in the air compressor’s water‑discharge piping is a common issue that can lead to equipment corrosion, degraded air quality, and even system shutdowns. This article provides a detailed analysis of typical causes, including…
The discharge flow rate of an air compressor does not refer to the gas volume at the outlet pressure; rather, it denotes the volumetric flow rate converted to the inlet conditions—typically atmospheric pressure. Because gases are compressible, calculating…
During operation, moisture in the air can condense due to temperature fluctuations. Although oil-free compressors do not inject oil into the compression chamber, the compression process still generates condensate. Timely drainage is a critical aspect of compressor maintenance,…
Water in the air discharged from an air compressor is a common equipment malfunction, typically caused by high ambient humidity, malfunctions in the cooling system, failure of the drain valve, or issues with downstream treatment equipment. This article…
The rated frequency of screw blowers is primarily determined by the design standards of the accompanying motor and the grid regulations of the target region, with the global standard broadly divided into 50 Hz and 60 Hz. This…
