When we use screw air compressors in daily life, we often encounter the problem of machine overheating, which is mainly manifested by the high exhaust temperature of the screw air compressor and the hot running parts. Below, the editor will briefly talk about several factors about why screw air compressors overheat:
1. Installation environment factors of screw air compressors
Many times, it has a great impact on the ventilation and heat dissipation conditions. The main factors affecting the heat dissipation of the surrounding environment of the screw air compressor are the following three phenomena: the distance of the screw air compressor is too close to the wall or other obstacles; there may be other heat sources near the air compressor. For this reason, it is recommended to strictly follow the installation and use environment requirements of the screw air compressor to install and use the air compressor.
2. Radiator blockage factors of screw air compressors
Because when there is a lot of dust 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, so that the oil cannot enter the air compressor at the normal flow rate, the screw air compressor will heat up rapidly due to insufficient cooling oil. 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.
3. Due to low oil grade or poor oil quality
The screw air compressor should use the manufacturer's original special air compressor oil. If other low-grade or inferior oil is used, the viscosity and specific heat may not meet the standard, causing problems such as excessive temperature.
