Although spring has begun, the cold wave is still there. In particular, there is a wave of late spring cold behind. For cold weather, many flowers, plants, trees, equipment and machines outside will take certain cold-proof measures. So how to keep the air compressor stable and safe in cold season? The small editor elaborates on the environment, operation and maintenance.

1、 Adjust the operation mode of the air compressor

If the air compressor is stopped in cold conditions, attention must be paid to emptying all gases, sewage, water, as well as water, gas and oil in various pipes and airbags. This is because when the unit works in cold weather, the temperature is relatively high. After shutdown, due to the low external temperature, a large amount of condensed water will be generated after air cooling. The control tube, intercooler and air bag are various, which can easily cause hidden dangers such as control tube, intercooler blockage, air bag explosion, etc.

Therefore, when the equipment is closed after working in cold weather, the drain valves of pipes, air tanks, dryers, etc. should be fully opened to drain the condensate, and then the valves should be closed.

2、 Properly adjust the environment and working conditions of the air compressor room

First of all, if conditions permit, it is recommended that the air compressor be placed indoors or set up a temporary tent in cold weather, which can not only prevent the temperature from being too low, but also improve the air quality at the inlet of the air compressor, and keep the temperature in the air compressor room above zero.

Secondly, we should pay attention to keeping the environment clean and tidy, especially the surrounding equipment and station room ground free of water, to prevent icing and slipping, which may cause operators to fall and get injured.

3、 Strengthen the protection and maintenance of air compressor in cold weather

In cold weather, the major impact on the operation of air compressor is that the temperature decreases and the viscosity of air compressor lubricating oil increases, which makes it difficult to start the air compressor after shutdown for a period of time.

The solution is to increase the temperature in the air compressor room through some thermal insulation measures, and control the flow of circulating water at 1/3 of the original, so as to reduce the cooling effect of the oil cooler, so as to ensure that the oil temperature is not too low; Every morning, start the front plate of the air compressor to move the pulley for 4 to 5 turns, and the lubricating oil temperature will rise naturally through mechanical friction.

The above is a brief description of the operation of "How to keep the air compressor running stably and safely in cold seasons?". For this or other problems related to the air compressor, you can consult online customer service.
