In the production plant, the air compressor is used almost every day, but in the process of operation, there will be moisture after the situation, so how to do a good job of moisture-proof work for the air compressor during use?
Here are five tips we recommend：
●Check for standing water around the air compressor
Proper assessment of the foundation, geology, flood control equipment and emergency rescue equipment surrounding an air compressor room should be conducted in order to identify any potential risks or weaknesses, especially with water. Any necessary repairs should then be conducted promptly in order to keep water out of the air compressor lines.
●Check to see if the air compressor room is leaking
During dry season, it is essential to check for any leaks or water infiltration into the air compressor lines, as it can cause short-circuiting and even result in electric shocks or other accidents. To prevent this from happening, we must always look out for any signs of water leaking into the air compressor room.
●Insist that the air compressor drain pipe be unblocked
To keep water out of air compressor lines, it is essential to remove condensation water from the system in a timely manner. If left unchecked, the remaining condensate not only causes the compressors lubricating oil to emulsify but can also lead to corrosion and rusting of storage tanks, ultimately affecting air compressorquality.
●Check to see if the compressor lubricating oil needs to be replaced
During humid weather, water moisture in the air can accumulate. In the compression process, water in the air mixes with smooth oil from a screw-type air compressor, decreasing the lubrication efficiency and accelerating wear to the rotor of the machine. To prevent this, it is important to keep water out of air compressor lines.
●Check the condition of the device before starting
During rainy or moist seasons, it’s important to check your air compressor before starting it up to ensure that no water is entering the machine and that all circuits are working, as rainwater falling into the electrical box can damage the electrical components. If any problems are found they should be corrected immediately with no delay.
Заключение
Keeping water out of air compressor lines is essential for maintaining equipment efficiency, preventing corrosion, and ensuring safe operation. By regularly inspecting for standing water and leaks, keeping drain pipes clear, monitoring and replacing lubricating oil, and checking the compressor before use, plant operators can minimize moisture-related issues and extend the lifespan of their air compressors. Consistent attention to these five steps helps ensure reliable, safe, and efficient operation throughout all seasons.
