Tips for troubleshooting lubricating oil failure:

Whether it is a new compressor that needs to be replaced after 500 hours of operation or every 4,000 hours thereafter, this is all obtained under a standard environment, and in the actual use of a screw air compressor, many factors are It will affect the performance of the lubricating oil, and because of this, we need to determine the replacement cycle according to the specific use environment.

So what factors will affect the replacement cycle of screw air compressor lubricating oil? The main points that everyone agrees on at present are:

1. Quality of lubricating oil:

The quality of lubricating oil will directly determine the period of its use. Only lubricating oil produced by regular manufacturers and qualified in quality verification can be replaced once every 4000-8000 hours in a standard environment, while the replacement cycle of inferior lubricating oil is very short;

2 Humidity of the air:

The greater the humidity in the air, the more moisture enters the air compressor, and the mixing of moisture and lubricating oil will cause the lubricating oil to deteriorate, which will affect its service life;

3 Impurities:

Including impurities entering with the air and impurities generated by friction inside the air compressor, etc. Impurities can contaminate the lubricating oil, causing it to fail;

4 Acidic and alkaline gases:

There will be a lot of acid and alkali gases in the operating environment of some air compressors, and the types of gases will also affect the performance of the lubricating oil, resulting in a shortened service life.
