Analysis and solution of high temperature failure of air compressor in winter

Winter should be a season for stable operation of air compressor, but many enterprises frequently encounter high temperature failure. High temperature not only affects equipment efficiency, but also may cause damage, production stagnation and even safety accidents. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze the causes of high temperature failure of air compressor in winter and take effective measures to prevent and solve it.

Failure analysis

Lubricating oil problem: Low temperature in winter will increase the viscosity of lubricating oil, affect fluidity, increase friction, and increase friction heat generation inside the air compressor. In addition, failure to replace lubricating oil in time or water entering the oil system may cause oil deterioration and affect the heat dissipation effect. Insufficient or excessive oil will also aggravate friction heat generation and affect the performance of air compressor.

Cooling system problem: Insufficient coolant, leakage or performance degradation will lead to poor heat dissipation and increased temperature of air compressor. Low temperature in winter may cause coolant to freeze and hinder the circulation of cooling pipes. In addition, cooling fan failure or dust accumulation in cooler will seriously affect the heat dissipation of air compressor and cause abnormal temperature increase.

Intake system problem: Too low intake temperature or clogged intake filter will increase compressor load, increase power consumption and heat generation, and then cause high temperature failure.

Solution

Strengthen maintenance: Regularly check the lubrication system, cooling system and air intake system, and promptly troubleshoot potential faults.

Choose appropriate oil and coolant: According to the season and ambient temperature, choose appropriate lubricating oil and coolant, and replace them regularly.

Adjust equipment parameters: Adjust the air compressor operating parameters according to the actual working environment and load to ensure that the equipment works in the best condition.

Optimize the working environment: Create good operating conditions for the air compressor, ensure that the temperature and humidity are appropriate, and avoid excessive load on the equipment.

Strengthen operation training: Improve the skills and fault response capabilities of operators to ensure stable operation of equipment.

Through these measures, high temperature failures of air compressors in winter can be effectively prevented, the safe and efficient operation of equipment can be guaranteed, and the smooth production of enterprises can be ensured.
