The radiator of the air compressor is a key component to ensure the normal operation of the equipment, mainly to emit the heat generated during the compression process in a timely manner, so as to avoid high temperatures leading to a decline in compressor efficiency, component damage or shutdown. The following will list the types of radiators and how to maintain the air compressor radiator in detail.
1. Air-cooled radiator: using the fan to blow in cold air to dissipate heat, mainly used in small piston compressors, screw compressors.
2. Water-cooled radiator: the use of water or coolant in the pipeline to take away the heat of the compressed air or lubricating oil circulation, mainly used for large industrial air compressors, high heat dissipation requirements.
3. Oil-cooled radiator: This kind of radiator only exists in oil-injected screw compressor, through the cooling of the lubricating oil way of heat dissipation.
If the compressor radiator is clogged, dusty or damaged, it will lead to a decrease in the efficiency of heat dissipation, which will lead to high-temperature compressor shutdown, component wear and other problems. The most frequent phenomenon of compressor radiator ash accumulation is due to the long time running at high temperature, the impurities in the air and oil-air mixture accumulates in the radiator.
How to solve the problem of compressor radiator ash accumulation, Elang offers you the following solutions:
1. Start the air compressor and run it until the oil temperature is normal, then switch off the air compressor.
2. Wait for the internal pressure to be discharged, then open the oil filler port to add cleaner.
3. Start the machine, run it for half an hour to one hour, switch off the machine and discharge all the waste oil.
4. Add new lubricating oil and start the machine again to check the operating parameters. If the carbon build-up is serious, you need to remove the host and put it into the cleaning agent to soak before cleaning.
How to prevent compressor radiator clogging or damage:
Regular cleaning and maintenance can ensure the efficient operation of the equipment.
1. Water-cooled radiators need to regularly check the water quality to prevent scale deposits, but also can be added to the descaling agent clear pipeline impurities.
2. Check the working condition of the pump and the leakage of the pipeline.
Finally, check whether the compressor radiator pipes are broken, corrosion, loose connections, and replace the aging parts in time.
