Defective air compressor air filter, that is, those air filters with rough workmanship and non-existent filtering effect. You should know that the air filter is the protective umbrella of the heart of the screw air compressor (screw main engine). If you use inferior air compressor air filter for cheapness, the result will be a loss of the big for the small.
Defective air compressor air filter will shorten the service life of compressor oil
Poor quality air compressor air filter, like the rough filter paper, cannot effectively block the dust in the air, so that the larger dust particles can easily pass through the filter paper and enter the air compressor. Then it will mix with the compressor blood (compressor special oil), making the air compressor oil quickly become very dirty, directly shortening the service life of the compressor oil.
Inferior air compressor air filter can damage the screw rotor
As mentioned above, inferior air compressor air filter can easily make the compressor oil very dirty. Then, after the air compressor oil rich in large dust particles circulates inside the machine, it will directly cause scratches on the surface of the screw rotor. In the mildest case, the screw rotor gap will increase, the noise of the air compressor host will become louder, and in severe cases, the screw host will be directly blocked and scrapped.
Inferior air compressor air filter can accelerate the wear of bearings
The bearings at both ends of the screw host are also lubricated by air compressor oil. Air compressor oil mixed with large dust particles will also accelerate the wear of heavy-duty bearings. The original 80,000 to 100,000 hours of use may not be used for 20,000 to 30,000 hours, and the host will collapse and be disassembled for overhaul.
Inferior air compressor air filter can cause high temperature and other faults in the compressor
The compressor oil rich in dust circulates in the internal pipeline of the air compressor all day long, which will pollute every part of the air compressor, such as: causing the air compressor oil filter to be easily blocked, the radiator to be easily carbonized, and the temperature control valve core to malfunction. Once these places have problems, the direct manifestation is the high temperature of the air compressor.
Summary
Although the inferior air compressor air filter is cheap, compared with the damage to the air compressor itself, the money saved can really be ignored. When maintaining the air compressor, try to use original or high-quality accessories.
