As most parts of the country enter the oven and steamer era, how to avoid air compressor accidents caused by high temperatures in summer is a hot topic in the industry.
There have been many accidents caused by high temperatures when air compressors are running in summer, and the causes of these failures are almost all high temperatures and operating errors, a large part of which are caused by the failure of air compressors not being handled in time.
The hot summer has always been a big challenge for the operation of air compressors, so we have always emphasized that users must create a well-ventilated working environment for the air compressor system and shut down for rest when the ambient temperature is too high (over 40°C).
In addition, for the running air compressor, please shut down immediately if any abnormality is found. It must be restarted only after all abnormal phenomena have been reasonably resolved. The most important thing is to regularly do a good job of air compressor maintenance just in case.
In short, if you want the air compressor to work stably and have a long service life, the quality of the equipment itself is one part, and daily use methods and reasonable operation are more important. No matter what brand the air compressor is, how good its quality is, or how frequently it is maintained, as long as a fault is found, it should be handled immediately. This is responsible for the equipment, the company's property, and the personal safety of the workers. Please remember this.
During the long-term continuous operation of the screw air compressor, electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy, and mechanical energy is converted into wind energy. In the process of converting mechanical energy into wind energy, the air is strongly compressed at high pressure, causing its temperature to rise sharply. This is a mechanical energy conversion phenomenon in common physics. The high-temperature heat generated by the high-speed rotation of the air compressor screw is mixed with oil/gas steam by the addition of the air compressor lubricating oil and discharged from the body. The heat of this part of the high-temperature oil and gas flow is equivalent to 3/4 of the air compressor input power. Its temperature is usually 80℃ (winter)-100℃ (summer and autumn). Such high temperatures can easily cause major accidents such as fires if there is no good ventilation environment.
The temperature is high in summer. It is recommended that you must pay attention to the temperature when using the air compressor. Do not place flammable items where the air compressor works.
