Five major problems that will occur after the air compressor works for a certain period of time

1. The gap increases

The increase in the distance between the male and female rotors of the core components of the main engine will increase the leakage during the compression process and reduce the compression efficiency of the equipment. In addition, the expansion of the gap between the male and female rotors, the rear end cover and the bearing will mainly affect the sealing and compression efficiency of the compressor. At the same time, this will also have a great impact on the service life of the male and female rotors.

2. Increased wear

Under normal circumstances, the operation of the machine will inevitably bring about wear. Under normal circumstances, due to the lubrication of the lubricating fluid, the wear will be reduced a lot, but long-term high-speed operation will increase the degree of wear and cause wear and damage to other major components.

3. Component deformation

As the core compression part of the compressor, the internal parts of the compressor host are in a high-temperature, high-pressure environment for a long time, coupled with high-speed operation, it will inevitably cause deformation over time. At the same time, dust and impurities gradually accumulate in the machine. After a long period of operation, it may cause the deformation of the male and female rotors and increase the gap. In severe cases, the main engine may be stuck.

4. Component damage

The vulnerable parts of the host part of the compressor mainly include: various gaskets, sealing rings, shaft oil seals, etc. Among them, the shaft oil seal has been in the environment of high temperature, high pressure and high speed operation for a long time, which greatly shortens its service life. Once damaged, it will cause oil leakage from the compressor. If it is not found in time, it is very likely that the male and female rotors and bearings will be burned due to lack of lubrication.

5. Cost increase

If the compressor has not been overhauled for a long time, a large amount of impurities caused by wear and tear will remain inside the equipment. Resulting in: a. shortening the service life of lubricating fluid; b. shortening the service life of oil filter element and air filter element; c. increasing friction, reducing compression efficiency and increasing electricity cost.
