To determine the air consumption of a slow-wire EDM machine, it is necessary to comprehensively account for the machine’s own air usage, the consumption of auxiliary tools, and pipeline losses. First, consult the equipment manual to obtain the…
The maintenance schedule for a compressor’s first use is critical to its service life and operational efficiency. Typically, a new unit requires its first comprehensive service after approximately 500 hours of operation, during which the lubricating oil, oil…
Air compressors, often referred to as “air compressors,” are primarily classified within the “General Mechanical Equipment” category of industrial classification, falling under either the “Fluid Machinery” or “Gas Compression Machinery” subcategories. This article provides a detailed analysis of…
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…

PLC Control Scheme for Parallel Operation of Two Inverter‑Controlled Gas Boosters Supplying Gas to the Main Pipeline
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…

Does the air flow rate of an air compressor refer to the gas flow rate at the outlet pressure?
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…
