What role does lubricating oil play in screw air compressors?

2024-03-27

Lubricating oil plays an important role in the operation of screw air compressors:

1. It has a lubrication effect to improve friction conditions.

2. It can take away some friction heat for cooling.

3. It can play some oil sealing and vibration damping functions.

Therefore, a very important part of the screw air compressor maintenance work is regular oil changes.

The temperature monitoring of the internal oil temperature can usually be seen on the screw air compressor panel. We can pay special attention to this temperature during the inspection process. Because most air compressor fire accidents are caused by the internal lubricating oil operating temperature being too high.

There are many reasons for the temperature rise of air compressor equipment, such as cooling fan failure, cooling water system failure, problems with the lubricating oil itself, excessive ambient temperature, etc. However, we do not need to be so professional and meticulous when it comes to safety, just pay attention to the temperature results.
