1. Monitor compressor temperature. Compressors generate a lot of heat. Because spring has unpredictable temperature swings, monitor temperatures closely to avoid overheated equipment and expensive downtime.
2. Check compressor room ventilation. Warming conditions can cause machines to overheat - usually due to a lack of proper ventilation in the compressor room.
3. Pay attention to humidity. Warmer air can hold more water vapor. When air temperatures drop, this moisture condenses - increased water means a higher risk of water entering the compressed air system. Address this issue by maintaining your dryer, drains, and condensate collectors!
4. Check filters. Pollen and other dust are more common in the air. Your filters filter all kinds of dust, and if the environment is poor, this can cause the filters to clog.
5. Establish a preventive maintenance plan. Scheduled maintenance can keep your compressor in top condition no matter what the season!
