Long-term non-waterproofing of screw air compressors will greatly increase the water content in the compressed air, which will not only affect the gas quality, but also have a certain degree of impact on the post-processing equipment that needs to use gas. For example: the oil-gas separator will become less effective, the pressure difference will become larger, and it will cause corrosion of the machine parts.
Therefore, it is an indispensable work precaution to drain the screw air compressor regularly. Here are some waterproofing suggestions from the editor to the majority of users and friends.
1. The dryer is a good way to remove moisture from the air, and the filter is an inseparable part. Like the compressor, the dryer is affected by changes in temperature and humidity. Please take some time to check the dryer (and air receiver) to ensure its performance.
2. Keep the drainage unobstructed. Once the moisture is removed from the air, it must be discharged from the system. The drain pipe with an electric valve is a good way to ensure that the system does not leave water. Check your drain pipe to ensure good drainage; excess moisture can cause problems and lead to fungal growth. It is also important to ensure that the drain pipe is not left open for a long time, as this may cause air loss.
3. Monitor the operation of the system, but it is important to pay attention to it during the transition season to ensure that the components can operate effectively. Remote monitoring systems are a good way to observe the compressor from elsewhere and alarm if there are any abnormalities.
