A complete air compressor is composed of many parts. Of course, some important parts will appear. Once there is a problem in this part, the machine will not work. There are also some parts that are difficult to find, and they will not stop immediately, such as air inlet duct or rubber bending head. However, long-term use will cause great damage to the air compressor host and rear equipment.
Poor air quality has become the main factor for the failure of the pneumatic system. It will greatly reduce the reliability and service life of the pneumatic system, and the resulting loss will greatly exceed the cost and maintenance cost of the air source treatment device. Therefore, it is very important to correctly select the air source treatment system and its components.
The compressed air output from the air compressor contains a lot of pollutants such as moisture, oil and dust. These pollutants must be properly removed to avoid harm to the normal operation of the pneumatic system.
The viscosity of the modified oil increases and gradually solidifies from the liquid to form tar like substances. It will cause deterioration and aging of rubber and plastic materials; Tar like substances accumulated in aftercooler and dryer will reduce their working efficiency; Block the small hole and affect the performance of the element; Causing inflexible action of relative moving parts in pneumatic components; The water containing liquid of tar like substances is acidic, which will rust the metal and pollute the environment and products.
Moisture will cause corrosion and rust of pipes and metal parts, resulting in failure or fracture of springs; In cold areas and high-speed flow areas in components, due to low temperature, water will freeze, resulting in poor component action, pipeline freezing or frost cracking; The condensate trapped in the pipeline and components will lead to insufficient flow, increased pressure loss, and even valve action failure; If the condensate is mixed into the lubricating oil, the lubricating oil will deteriorate; Liquid water will wash off the grease, resulting in poor lubrication.
Rust chips and dust will wear the relative moving parts, resulting in poor action or even jamming of the components; Dust will accelerate the blockage of filter element and increase flow assistance; Dust will accelerate seal damage and lead to air leakage.
