Analysis of the causes of overheating in screw air compressor

I believe that all users who have used air compressors have encountered overheating of the air compressor. However, after understanding the reasons for overheating of the screw air compressor, what should we do? Here is an introduction:


1. Radiator blockage factor


When there is a lot of dust in the environment around the screw air compressor, it will cause a layer of dust or sludge to adhere to the surface of the radiator due to long-term operation, which will affect the heat dissipation effect. A dirty oil filter may also cause a certain degree of overheating of the air compressor. Because the oil filter of the screw air compressor will be too dirty, the oil cannot enter the air compressor at a normal flow rate, which will cause the screw air compressor to heat up rapidly due to insufficient cooling and lubrication. Of course, there is also the cooling oil level is too low. It is recommended to regularly maintain and maintain the screw air compressor to avoid the above situation.


2. Factors of low oil grade or poor oil quality


Screw air compressors should use the manufacturer's original special air compressor oil. If other low-grade or inferior oils are used, the viscosity and specific heat may not meet the standards, causing problems such as excessive temperature.


3. Environmental factors


In many cases, environmental factors have a great impact on ventilation and heat dissipation. The main factors affecting heat dissipation in the surrounding environment of screw air compressors are: the air compressor is placed too close to the wall or other obstacles; there may be other heat sources near the air compressor. In this regard, it is recommended to strictly follow the installation and use environment requirements of screw air compressors to install and use the air compressor.
