TroubleshootingKobelco air compressor maintenance mode
The gas is then compressed through the compressor head (5). The compressor head is driven by an electric motor (3). Cooling oil will be pumped into the compressor head. It lubricates moving parts and forms a seal between the rotors or between them and the compressor housings.
TroubleshootingPeriodic maintenance plan for Kaeser ASK air compressors
Note: Do not mix oils from multiple brands together as this makes the oils incompatible with each other and will degrade the oil's performance. The oil label indicates the factory filled grade of oil , which is contained on the air receiver / oil tank. Always drain the oil when the drain point is reached. Using residual oil can contaminate the oil system and may shorten the life of the machine. Components in the oil system
TroubleshootingIngersoll Rand air compressor spare parts
Oil-filled screw air compressors usually the output compressed air will contain a small amount of oil mixed within the compressed air, this compressed air stream is cooled when passing through the cooling coil and in the refrigerated dryer (for machines with integrated dryers) it will form condensate containing oil. Depending on the needs of the user, some manufacturers of Atlas copco air compressors have an additional oil processor installed, called OSCi for short. The OSCi is a condensate treatment device designed to separate the oil fraction from the condensate and absorb the oil into a replacement oil filter, which helps prevent environmental pollution. OSCi It has the ability to break down and absorb stable emulsions. OSCi is not affected by impact or vibration because it uses a filter common to all types of drains. The rinse water will meet all environmental requirements. The OSCi is installed inside the compressor housing.
TroubleshootingAtlas Copco GA37, GA45, GA75, GA55 air compressor maintenance schedule
After a period of operation, air compressors need periodic maintenance. When maintaining and repairing machines for factories, many customers ask Minh Phu about the time and maintenance schedule of Atlas copco air compressors. To meet that need, Minh Phu would like to share the following article. (The maintenance time and schedule of this article is based on the manufacturer's information given in the manufacturer's book "Manual for operating and using Atlas copco air compressor models GA37+, GA45+, GA55, GA75 - pages 152,153".
TroubleshootingCauses and solutions to problems with Atlas Copco GA37, GA45, GA 55, GA 75 air compressors
During the process of using and operating Atlas Copco air compressors, we often encounter machine problems. To help users and operators identify some common basic problems, causes, and how to troubleshoot Atlas copco machines, Minh Phu would like to share the following article. Note : + Before performing maintenance, repair, or calibration work on the machine, press the stop key and wait until the compressor stops completely (about 30 seconds) and close the exhaust valve. Press the test key on the water discharge tank located in the gas system between the air receiver tank and the discharge valve to completely depressurize. + Press the emergency stop key and turn off the power to the machine, releasing all residual pressure in the machine. The air release valve can be locked during the following maintenance and repair operations: Lock the valve, Unscrew the screws with a wrench .+ The operator must apply all relevant safety precautions.
TroubleshootingHow to choose the correct electrical wire for Atlas Copco air compressor
Note: + The voltage across the compressor terminals should not deviate by more than 10% of the rated voltage. However, it is recommended to keep the voltage deviation below 5% of the rated voltage (IEC 60204-1). + If cables are bundled with other power cables, it may be necessary to use cables larger in size than those calculated under standard operating conditions. + To protect the electrical cabinet and protect the components in the electrical cabinet, it is mandatory to use a suitable cable (wire) when connecting the power cable to the compressor. + National standards can still be applied if they are more stringent (better) than IEC and UL/cUL standards.
