Two common types of air leakage faults in air compressors–Shared by Sollant

The air leakage of the screw air compressor will lead to an increase in energy consumption, and the operating cost will rise sharply. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the air leakage in time. Generally, the air leakage of the unit is mainly divided into two types. One is the air leakage caused by loose valve parts, and the other is the air leakage of the pipeline system. Let me introduce the solutions for these two types of air leakage.

1. Leakage in the piping system

The cause of air leakage is often due to the poor quality of materials and accessories or poor installation quality, the sinking of the bracket in the air compressor pipeline causes serious deformation and cracking of the pipeline, and the water in the pipeline freezes and bulges the pipe or pipe fittings.

Solution: Repair or replace damaged pipe sections and fittings, regularly remove accumulated water in the pipes to prevent freezing and cracking; when the pipe supports sink, repair the supports and adjust the slope of the pipes to facilitate drainage.

The air leakage of the screw air compressor will have a great impact on the production of the enterprise. If there is an air leakage sound during the operation of the unit, it is necessary to carefully check the air compressor system to find out the location of the air leakage and repair it in time to ensure Stable air source.

Second, the safety valve leaks

The spring support surface of the safety valve is not perpendicular to the centerline of the spring. When the centerline of the valve spring is not perpendicular to the support surface, the valve spring will be deflected when it is under pressure, causing uneven force on the disc of the safety valve, warping, air leakage, vibration, and even safety valve failure.

Solution: Adjust the verticality between the safety valve spring support surface and the spring center line, keep them perpendicular to each other, clean up the impurities and dirt between the safety valve and the valve seat, and re-grind if necessary, to ensure that the contact surface is tight. The valve spring of the safety valve should be pressed tightly, the thread and sealing surface should be well protected, and the damaged parts should be repaired, scraped and ground.

If the above two situations are ruled out and there is still air leakage, then it is necessary to invite professional personnel to check and repair the air compressor.
