The consequences of the decline in the compressed air quality of the screw air compressor

As we all know, the product of the compressor is compressed air. Whether it is used as power or as an air source, the quality of compressed air is one of the most concerned issues for users. Therefore, once the compressed air quality drops, it will not only cause the compressed air quality to be unusable and damage the compression equipment, but also cause an explosion due to the high oil content in the air. Therefore, for a long time, the problem of how to effectively improve the quality of air compressed by air compressors has been an important object of research.

How to improve the quality of compressed air of screw air compressor

At present, in order to improve the quality of compressed air, the most commonly used methods are as follows:

1. Load air filtration equipment to achieve the goal of improving the quality of compressed air. For example, install air filters, oil and gas separators, etc. for screw air compressors.

2. Control the amount of lubricating oil. Because once the lubricating oil is too much, it will easily lead to an increase of the oil content in the compressed air, so it is necessary to control its amount within a reasonable range, neither too low nor too high.

3. Check the air compressor one-way valve orifice, oil-gas separator, minimum pressure valve spring and other components to see if they are blocked or damaged. Once these parts are found not to work properly, they must be dealt with.

4. Check the exhaust pressure. The exhaust pressure of the screw air compressor is too low, which will also lead to a decrease in the quality of the compressed air. Therefore, we need to ensure that the unloading pressure setting of the air compressor is within an appropriate range.

So far, we have learned that there are many reasons for the poor quality of compressed air produced by the air compressor. We cannot blindly think that there is a problem with the quality of the air compressor. Multiple analyzes can be used to find the answer to solve it in a targeted manner.
