Maintenance GuideMaintain compressed air systems
Micos 75kW air compressor is one of the important devices in many industrial production lines. To ensure the machine operates efficiently and sustainably, periodic oil changes are necessary. In this article, we will learn the process of changing Micos air compressor oil and the importance of machine maintenance.

Atlas Copco air compressors play an important role in many industrial sectors such as manufacturing, food processing and construction. However, problems with the machine operating at high temperatures may occur, affecting the performance and longevity of the device. This article will provide detailed information about the causes, signs, treatment and prevention measures.
TroubleshootingMaintain compressed air systems
The compressor filter element is an important part of the oil separator. High quality oil separators have built-in filter cores and the lifespan is up to thousands of hours. Therefore this separation can ensure high efficiency. The compressor can contain microscopic oil droplets with a diameter of less than 1 um. These oil drops will be filtered by the filter core. Under the dispersing effect of the filter material, they will quickly precipitate into a large drop. Large drops of oil will combine at the bottom under the influence of gravity. Finally, they will flow into the lubrication system through the oil return pipe. As a result, the compressed air discharged from the compressor is clean and free of oil contamination. Unlike microscopic oil droplets, the crystals in the compressed air will remain in the filter layer, thus leading to an increase in differential pressure. When the differential pressure is 0.08-0.1Mpa, then the filter core must be replaced. On the other hand, operating costs will increase significantly.
TroubleshootingCheck the compressor before starting
How to maintain the air dryer? Check the vehicle's U-shaped air and water drainage pipes to see if they are releasing compressed air and hard water normally. Clean the U-shaped drain more than once a month. Check for any leaking pipe fittings. Please maintain a stable internal temperature ( below 38oC) and compressed air inlet temperature ( below 38oC). At the same time, cleaning must be done periodically so that dust and impurities do not cover the capacitor of the aftercooler and air dryer (about every 1-2 weeks).

TroubleshootingCheck the compressor before starting
Mann air filter is an air filter that cleans the air entering the combustion chamber, helping to protect your engine, machinery and equipment. In addition, the mann filter removes the smallest particles such as soot, impurities, and pollen from the incoming air stream to ensure that only impure stream is fed into the combustion chamber. Therefore, they help save fuel up to 3-4%.
TroubleshootingHow to distinguish real 'genuine' bearings and forged bearings
A compressed air filter is a device used in a compressed air system, it is responsible for filtering out dirt, rust, water, lubricating oil... To learn the working principle of a Compressed Air Filter, what factors does the effectiveness of the filter depend on? Please read the following article:
TroubleshootingCriteria for selecting the most suitable gas tank
The air tank is an important device in the compressed air system. It has the following effects: Accumulating air, stabilizing pressure to supply demand, Reducing the number of on-off times of the air compressor → increasing the life of the air compressor. Increase machine sleep time → save energy etc
