What are the methods to deal with oil leakage of air compressor?
- Correctly install the gasket: the gasket between the accessories of the air compressor acts as a leak-proof seal. Oil spills can reliably occur if materials, production quality and installation do not meet specifications.
- Tighten the nut correctly: too loose will cause the lining to not be pressed tightly and leak, and too tight will cause the metal around the screw hole to bulge, or the screw will slip and cause oil leakage.
- Replace the failed oil seal in time: Many parts of the oil seal on the air compressor will be installed incorrectly, resulting in misalignment of the journal and the edge of the oil seal, and some oil seals will lose elasticity due to rubber aging after long-term use.
- Replace vulnerable parts in time: Excessive wear of air compressor parts after use causes high-pressure gas in the combustion chamber to rush into the crankcase, forcing oil to leak out.
- Avoid blockage of one-way valve and exhaust valve: If the one-way valve and exhaust valve are blocked, the temperature in the casing will rise, and the oil and gas will fill the entire space, increasing the pressure in the casing, and the pressure of the piston will increase. The movement resistance increases, which increases the fuel consumption. At the same time, due to the difference in air pressure inside and outside the box shell, oil leakage is often caused by weak sealing.
- Ensure the sealing of various oil pipe joints: due to frequent disassembly and assembly, the connecting nuts used in construction machinery are easy to loosen due to the breakage of the slide wire, such as poor precision of the bell mouths of the two joints, misalignment of the center lines of the two cone surfaces or different tapers wait. Will cause oil leakage. The cone seal can be grinded to make the nut compressed and sealed reliably.
