Something you must know about the signs of the failure of the air compressor

Some early warning signals are usually given before the air compressor breaks down, so it is very important to know these early warning signals in time for the maintenance of equipment. The following are some common early warning signals of air compressor faults for users' reference:

Abnormal sound and vibration: abnormal sound and severe vibration during operation are often early warning signals of equipment failure. Possible reasons include wear of main engine bearing, unbalance of rotating shaft, damage of male and female rotors, excessive operating load, unbalanced pressure of pipe network, loose bolts, gaskets and fixed brackets, and sundries or foreign objects inside the equipment.

Leakage phenomenon: the leakage of lubricating oil, compressed air or circulating cooling water of equipment is the performance of fault early warning. This may be caused by aging equipment and accessories, inadequate maintenance, and bad behavior or careless operation of employees. Although these problems seem small, they may lead to serious consequences, so we must be vigilant and find and solve them as soon as possible.

Special odor: some faults may also be accompanied by the emission of special odor. For example, when the motor is overheated and the lubricating oil burns in the cylinder, it will emit a special smell; There will be burnt smell when the circuit is short-circuited and the insulating material is burned; When the rubber material is burnt, it will smell burnt.

The failure of air compressor often does not happen suddenly, but will give a certain early warning signal in advance. Therefore, we should be vigilant and help operators and maintenance personnel to find these early warning signals as soon as possible, so as to prevent accidents and carry out maintenance and repair work in time. This can prolong the service life of the equipment, improve production efficiency and ensure the normal operation of the production line.
