w nWork willingness
The screw or kiln gas compressor is a positive displacement compressor, which achieves the purpose of gas compression by gradually reducing the working volume.
The cogging is composed of a casing that accommodates the pair of rotors. When the air compressor is running, the two rotors are inserted into each other’s cogging, and the teeth inserted into the other’s cogging are exhausted as the rotor rotates.
When the end moves, the volume enclosed by the opposing teeth gradually decreases, the pressure gradually increases, and finally the air is discharged from the exhaust port.
The air compressor has start-up conditions: the temperature at point ① of the air compressor panel is not lower than 1°C, and the internal pressure (that is, the pressure at point ②) is not higher than 0.4bar.
- Air compressor alarm, fault and treatment
(A), the common alarms of air compressors are: - The temperature is too high: it refers to the temperature of the oil-air mixture at the outlet of the compressor, which is greater than or equal to 110°C to alarm and 120°C to trip.
- The pressure is too high: it refers to the outlet pressure of the compressor, which is higher than 10bar and alarms and trips at 15bar.
- Oil and gas separator: The compressed air from the compressor head entrains large and small oil droplets. Large oil droplets are easy to separate when passing through the oil and gas separation tank, while small oil droplets (diameter
Suspended oil particles below 1um) must be filtered through the micron and glass fiber filter layers of the oil and gas separation filter element. So that the compressor discharges more pure and oil-free compressed air
gas. When the solid particles in the compressed air pass through the oil separation core, they stay in the filter layer, which leads to the continuous increase of the pressure difference (resistance) of the oil separation core. Use with oil separator
As time goes on, when the pressure difference of the oil separator reaches 0.08 to 0.1Mpa, the filter element must be replaced. - Air filter: When the air filter is dirty or blocked, the resistance of the air passing through the filter increases, and negative pressure is generated at the inlet of the compressor.
- Oil filter: Due to the long-term operation of the air compressor, the impurities in the air are sucked into the compressor, causing the oil filter to be dirty and clogged, and the pressure difference between the front and rear of the oil filter is too large.
- High oil temperature: Due to the long-term operation of the air compressor, the oil quality is aging, the oil return path is not smooth, the oil filter is blocked, and a small amount of compressed air will be entrained from the air compressor. Huaq
The oil causes the loss of air compressor oil, resulting in high oil temperature. - High exhaust temperature: refers to the poor heat dissipation of the air compressor, and the oil quantity and oil quality of the air compressor are abnormal.
- Low oil level: Refers to the low oil level in the oil-gas separator of the air compressor, and no oil can be seen in the oil level gauge.
- Line pressure: The load/no-load control of the air compressor exceeds the operating pressure of the machine.
Common faults of port and air compressor - Power failure: The power supply/control power supply of the air compressor is out of power. Treatment method: Check whether the power supply and control power supply have electricity.
- Motor temperature: The motor starts too frequently, the load is too heavy, the cooling of the motor is not sufficient, the motor itself or bearing has problems, sensors, etc. Processing method: limited
Limit the number of motor starts and reduce the load set pressure. - Compressor temperature: The temperature of the oil-air mixture at the compressor outlet reaches 120°C. Treatment method: keep the air compressor well ventilated, check that the radiator is not covered by debris,
The radiator dissipates heat well, check the air compressor oil level, cooling fan, and temperature sensor. - Low startup temperature: The air compressor panel shows that the temperature is lower than 1°C.
- The pressure is too high: the compressor outlet pressure reaches 15bar and trips. Treatment method: Check whether the loading set pressure is too high, the pressure sensor, etc., contact the maintenance to check the pressure
Regulating valve and unloading valve. - Pressure sensor: There is a problem with the pressure, temperature and sensor wiring of each pipeline of the air compressor. Treatment method: contact maintenance or the manufacturer.
- Motor steering error: the motor wiring is wrong or the star/delta cannot be switched normally when the motor starts, and the turn signal sensor on the compressor body is faulty, causing the air compressor
Reports the wrong direction of the motor. Solution: Contact maintenance to check whether the phase sequence wiring of the motor is correct. - Expiration of maintenance period: The maintenance period of the air compressor has expired and has exceeded 100 hours. Treatment method: Contact maintenance to maintain the air compressor. After the maintenance is completed, the operator will
Reset the maintenance time. - Solenoid valve failure: the solenoid valve is loose or the lead connector is loose or disconnected. Treatment method: contact maintenance.
- Cooling system failure: The cooling fan of the air compressor does not rotate or one of the cooling fans does not rotate, the fan is deformed, the fan relay is aging and faulty, and the wiring is loose. Processing method: link
Check whether the motor and motor wiring are in good condition. - Belt failure: The belt connecting the air compressor drive motor and the compressor is damaged. Treatment method: Contact maintenance to replace the belt.
- Low oil pressure: insufficient air compressor oil, oil leakage in the oil pipeline, blockage of the oil pump inlet filter, oil pressure adjustment (overpressure valve), and jamming of the oil pressure adjustment spring
After the pressure is released, it does not reset, etc. Treatment method: replenish the air compressor oil level to the normal position, and contact the maintenance for processing. - External fault: There is a problem with the wiring of the electrical protection circuit of the air compressor or the thermal control monitoring circuit. Treatment method: contact maintenance.
- The pressure of the main pipe of the air compressor system is low: the air filter is blocked, the air leakage of the air compressor intake pipe is bad, and the air compressor intake solenoid valve fails to switch normally, the system and the pipeline.
There is air leakage, the air consumption of the equipment increases, and the dryer pipeline is blocked - Frequent loading and unloading of the air compressor: improper adjustment of the load pressure and unloading pressure of the air compressor
- Oil leakage from the air compressor: The connection parts of the oil inlet and oil return lines in the air compressor chassis are not strict, the oil storage tank of the air compressor is too much, the oil return pipe is blocked, and the oil separation core is damaged.
Oil seal is broken - Operation, maintenance and inspection of air compressors
- Check that the oil level of the air compressor is normal, and the oil level is not lower than one-third of the oil level gauge. – – If the oil level is found to be low, stop the machine and wait for the oil to cool down and add oil to half of the oil level gauge.
- Check that the compressed air pressure and temperature are normal, and the oil temperature is normal.
- Check that there is no abnormal noise from the air compressor.
- Check that the air compressor is unloaded according to the set pressure. load.
- Check that there is no oil leakage in the air, oil lines and joints.
