TroubleshootingWhy should you use Pipe Filters for compressed air systems?
Compressed air filters are very commonly and widely used in compressed air systems. It brings great benefits and is very important, but in reality, some factories do not use compressed air filters, why? Why should you use pipeline filtration (Air Filter) for compressed air systems? If not used, will there be any effects? What are the benefits of using a compressed air filter ? How long does it take to change the filter core?... To help customers better understand the importance of compressed air filters, we would like to provide you with the following article.
TroubleshootingLoud noise error of screw air compressor
Air compressors used for a long time without regular maintenance or improper maintenance will cause problems that affect the factory's production. Here we find out why the air compressor makes strange noises?
TroubleshootingFix Hitachi air compressor errors
During the operation and use of the Japanese Hitachi Air Compressor - HISCREW 2000 Series (Type without attached air dryer such as Model: OSP - 22S5AI, OSP - 22S6AI, OSP - 22M5AI, OSP - 22M6AI, OSP - 37S5AI, OSP - 37S6AI, OSP - 37M5AI, OSP - 37M6AI . Type with attached air dryer such as Model: OSP - 22S5RI, OSP - 22S6ARI, OSP - 22M5ARI, OSP - 22M6ARI, OSP - 37S5ARI, OSP - 37S6ARI, OSP - 37M5ARI, OSP - 37M6ARI ). There have been times when the operator encountered some errors that were warned on the control screen of the screw air compressor without knowing the cause???. To partially answer our customers, we would like to point out some basic errors to help operators recognize and handle problems with Hitachi Air Compressors quickly and effectively:
TroubleshootingMaintenance and repair of Piston air compressors
Piston air compressors are very widely used in industry (industrial manufacturing plants), with high mobility, simple piston air compressor structure, easy to repair, cheap price of piston compressors suitable for many people. Therefore, Piston Air Compressors are widely used in daily life such as: inflating motorbikes, drying the car after washing the car (may bom hoi), inflating car tires, creating steam for spraying paint....
TroubleshootingInstructions for finding the cause of air compressor errors - Part 1
During the process of repairing and maintaining air compressors for customers, we receive many questions from customers such as: Why does the machine run without pressure?, Why does the exhaust gas contain high oil content?...What causes the phenomenon of: The machine cannot start?, The operating current is too high?, The pressure is too high and the air compressor does not turn off?...To answer those questions, we would like to give some basic causes as follows.
TroubleshootingHow to troubleshoot Sullair TS-32 air compressor
During the operation and use of air compressors (in particular) and mechanical equipment that uses bearings (in general). If a bearing is damaged during operation, it will result in the entire machine or equipment being damaged. Once a bearing is damaged prematurely or causes unexpected problems, it is important to be able to identify and predict the damage before handling, so that timely corrective actions can be taken.
TroubleshootingMaintenance instructions for air compressor air filters
Compressed air systems in factories play a very important role. To ensure the system operates continuously and stably during the production process, regular maintenance as recommended by the manufacturer is the most ideal condition. However, in reality, for many different reasons such as: The location of the air compressor and air dryer is dusty, the machine room temperature is high, air convection is not guaranteed... leading to a reduction in the usage time of the compressor's accessories ( air filter, oil filter, oil separator...). On the other hand, maintenance (maintenance) as recommended by the manufacturer in some factories is not guaranteed and there are deviations. To prolong the life of the machine as well as air compressor accessories and ensure the safety of Air Compressor operators, regular maintenance and correct techniques are extremely important.
TroubleshootingInstructions for finding the cause of air compressor errors - Part 2
Instructions for finding the cause of air compressor errors. Why does air compressor oil flow out from the upper air filter of the air compressor head?, what causes the air compressor to turn on and off between load and unload? What causes the air compressor motor to overload?
TroubleshootingHow to read bearing parameters
When we need to use bearings, we see the parameters recorded on the bearings. The bearing name parameters are a series of letters and numbers that indicate information about: bearing type, envelope size, size, accuracy, internal clearance and other related technical parameters... So, how to understand these parameters correctly? Please read the following article:
TroubleshootingInstall a refrigerant air dryer
Currently, in the air compressor lines using inverters in particular and systems using inverters in general, there are many different types of inverters from many brands, each company has many types depending on usage requirements from simple to complex, increasingly perfecting and improving. These inverters may differ in structure and component details, but the general principle is almost the same.
TroubleshootingStructure and classification of bearings 'bearings' air compressor
Structure and classification of air compressor bearings: Bearings usually include an inner ring, outer ring, rolling components and cages that position the balls at fixed distances between the ball grooves. The standard material for production has a high carbon chromium content and a hardened steel cage. To choose bearings effectively, it is necessary to understand the design and characteristics of each different type of bearing to choose the appropriate bearing.
