What problems may occur if the three filters and one oil of the air compressor are not replaced in time?

I believe everyone knows that the “three filters and one oil” of screw air compressors have a service life and usually need to be replaced after 2,000 hours of use. If they are not replaced in time and continue to be used, it will cause serious harm to the air compressor. So, what problems may occur if the “three filters and one oil” of the screw air compressor are not replaced in time?

1. Air filter

The air filter is an important protective barrier for the air compressor. Dust and particulate impurities in the inhaled air can be filtered out. The cleaner the inhaled air, the better the performance and service life of the oil filter, oil and gas separator, lubricating oil and main engine are guaranteed. Expired use will increase the actual compression ratio of the unit, increase the host load, and shorten the service life. Excessive air filtration resistance will increase the energy consumption of the device.

2.Oil filter

The oil filter is mainly used to filter out particles and impurities in the screw air compressor lubricating oil to ensure the cleanliness of the oil circulation system and the safe operation of the screw air compressor system. Expired use will result in insufficient lubrication of the main engine and shorten the service life of the main engine.

3. Oil content

The main function of the oil separator is to separate oil from compressed air and ensure the quality of compressed air. The oil content of compressed air generated after overdue use increases, which affects the operation of back-end purification equipment and the normal operation of gas equipment, and affects the quality of the final product.

4. Lubricating oil

Air compressor lubricating oil mainly plays the functions of lubrication, cooling, sealing, cleaning, and noise reduction. If the oil is not changed, overtime use will cause the machine to shut down due to high temperature alarm.

As an air compressor manufacturer, we remind everyone that if the “three filters and one oil” of the screw air compressor exceeds its service life, there will be an early warning signal during operation, but it will not shut down. However, if an early warning signal is issued, relevant personnel should be contacted in time for maintenance and replacement. Don’t make a small mistake out of a big deal. Failure to replace the “three filters and one oil” in time will directly affect the normal operation of the air compressor, and future maintenance costs will be even greater.
