1. Inspect the Air Compressor Room
Inspect the air compressor room to prevent leaks and water ingress, and ensure that lightning protection facilities are in place. Prevention is always better than cure; don't let a small problem lead to a big one. Also, if the air compressor room gets wet, stop the machine immediately to avoid further damage.
2. Ensure the Air Compressor's Normal Discharge Temperature
The normal discharge temperature of an air compressor is 55°C or higher than the ambient temperature. This temperature will cause water to vaporize, and the compressed air will be discharged along with the gas, while the moisture will be discharged through the subsequent dryer. In some special cases, the oil temperature may be too low. For example, some frequency converter units may not easily establish sufficient oil temperature when the load is low (less than 50%). In this case, a professional service personnel should check and adjust the parameters.
3. Use Genuine Original Lubricating Oil
Genuine original lubricating oil for air compressors has excellent oil-water separation properties, meaning it is not easily emulsified, and moisture can be discharged normally. After a period of shutdown, restart the machine by slowly opening the drain valve on the oil tank to release the moisture from the oil.
4. Have a professional technician inspect the aging circuitry.
Aging wiring on the control board may cause sparks and short circuits when exposed to moisture. This can result in minor issues like abnormal tripping, unusual odors, or machine shutdown. If the machine is damaged, the control panel may be burned out.
