Correct cleaning method of twin screw air compressor

The service life and operation reliability of the air compressor are crucial to the correct maintenance and maintenance. The cleaning of the air compressor is a skill that the after-sales maintenance service personnel and even equipment operators must master. Here are a few methods:


Air pressure cleaning method:


First run the air compressor for a few minutes, the oil reaches room temperature; turn off the air compressor, wait for the internal pressure to be released, open the fuel cap, pour in the air compressor cleaning agent, and tighten the fuel cap; turn on the air compressor and run for 30 minutes; let it go old oil, then add new oil. Generally, the temperature of the air compressor after cleaning will drop by about 10 degrees. Air compressor coolers are generally divided into two types: air-cooled and water-cooled, so there are different cleaning methods for different coolers.


【Air-cooled cooler】


Remove the cooling fan and blow the dirt off with compressed air, and then take the dirt out of the air guide; if it is dirty, spray some degreaser before blowing. When the screw air compressor cannot be cleaned by the above methods, the cooler needs to be removed, soaked or sprayed with cleaning liquid, and cleaned with the help of a brush (wire brush is strictly prohibited).


【Water-cooled cooler】


Disconnect the cooling water inlet and outlet pipes. Inject the cleaning solution to soak or use the pump to circulate and flush (the recoil effect is better). Rinse with clean water. Install the cooling water inlet and outlet pipes.


Cleaning of water gas separator:


Remove the cover of the water gas separator, and then soak it with cleaning agent for cleaning.


To clean the relief valve:


(The cleaning agent for the screw air compressor should be soapy water, diesel oil, clean gasoline, Tianna water, etc. The above cleaning agent should be selected according to the degree of dirt, and it is generally recommended to use soapy water or diesel oil for cleaning).


The screw air compressor temperature control valve cleans all parts of the temperature control valve according to the method of cleaning the unloading valve.


The above are some suggestions for cleaning the air compressor. Regular maintenance and cleaning can make the air compressor run better.
