Cleaning and maintaining the compressor is essential to being able to take on. Supplies needed can be as basic as a compressed air hose and rubber tipped air blow gun. These will build up and could lead to critical malfunctions in the compressor. Basic safety rules such as locking and tagging all sources of electrical and mechanical energy prior to beginning are of course necessary. The inverter is one of more expensive components on the air compressor, along with the compression element mentioned earlier.Ĭleaning your air compressor is a simple task, that doesn’t necessarily require an experienced technician. This can cause both nuisance shutdowns and premature failure. If you operate a variable speed drive air compressor, dust and dirt build up cause overheating in the motor inverter.This effects compressed air dryer performance, sending harmful moisture to sensitive downstream equipment. This results in elevated package discharge temperatures. Significant amounts of dust and dirt entering the air compressor cabinet also build up on the outside of the air cooled after cooler.If not removed, it will cause premature failure. This causes consistent overheating which will require significant effort to remove. The long term effect is oil varnishing inside the oil circuit. The short term result of this condition is elevated oil temperature which will lead to nuisance shutdowns. Significant amounts of dust and dirt entering the air compressor cabinet also build up on the outside of the air cooled oil cooler.This contamination will cause premature failure.
The result is that what is in the air, is in the oil. In an oil injected screw compressor, the inlet air and the oil mix in the compression element.The capacity (amount of compressed air output) is directly related to the amount of air drawn in through the inlet air filter.It is an essence a big vacuum pulling all the dust and dirt in its environment. Air compressors constantly draw in air which it compresses for process output and which it also uses to cool internal components.It is also a critical preventative maintenance function that can define how long your air compressor lasts. Craig Verga, Director of Aftermarket SalesĬleaning your air compressor is a basic preventative maintenance function that just about anyone can do.
