Intermittent operation of air compressors refers to a mode in which the equipment automatically adjusts its performance based on pressure and air‑demand conditions. Normal cycling is expected, but excessive start–stop cycles or abnormal pressure fluctuations are typically caused…
Maintenance and Servicing
This paper systematically analyzes the standard English terminology, internal structural principles, and core technological advantages of screw‑integrated air compressors. It covers key equipment‑selection parameters, typical industrial application scenarios, and standardized maintenance guidelines, aiming to provide practical guidance for…
How should a pressure vessel on an air compressor be handled when its service life has expired?
Air compressor receiver tanks are classified as pressure vessels; continuing to operate them beyond their prescribed service life poses significant safety risks. This article provides a detailed analysis of the criteria for determining a receiver tank’s service life,…
As a common type of pressure vessel, air receivers do not have a fixed service life; their design life typically ranges from ten to twenty years. In practice, their actual service life is influenced by multiple factors, including…
Excessive water in the compressed air discharge is typically caused by condensation resulting from a sudden drop in temperature after compression. Common causes include inadequate heat dissipation in the aftercooler, delayed drainage from the air receiver tank, excessively…
The reliable operation of screw-type air compressors hinges on systematic maintenance and servicing. This article provides a comprehensive overview of standard intervals and essential procedures, ranging from daily inspections to medium- and long-term in-depth maintenance, covering critical tasks…
The nameplate of an air compressor is a crucial reference for identifying the equipment’s performance and ensuring safe operation, typically listing information such as model number, air displacement, discharge pressure, power rating, voltage, frequency, rotational speed, noise level,…
Whether an air compressor can still be used after one year in storage depends on the storage environment, the condition of its lubrication, and the status of its seals and safety devices. Before use, inspect for rust, oil…
