Why air compressors are more likely to fail in hot summer ?

Feb 13, 2024

In the past, every hot summer, customers often asked our air compressor maintenance engineers: Why does the failure rate of screw air compressors increase in summer? Actually this is normal. Since the screw air compressor is a heating device, the temperature is relatively high in summer, and the natural failure rate is high when the equipment temperature is high. Another reason is that the water content in the air is relatively high in summer, and the water in the compressed air is also the cause of the high failure rate of the screw air compressor.

Well how to help your own screw air compressor reduce the operating temperature and reduce the failure rate?

If it is an air-cooled air compressor, it is necessary to check whether the outside of the cooler is blocked, mainly to see if there are dirty things. If it cannot be cleaned with compressed air, you can remove the screw air compressor cooler and use a high-pressure water gun. rinse.

If the air compressor is water-cooled, it must be cleaned with a special cleaning agent and a water pump.

Solving the problem of high temperature of the screw air compressor can prolong the service life of the screw air compressor, and can largely solve the problem of frequent screw air compressor failure and shutdown, and reduce the maintenance cost of the screw air compressor. In addition, it is best to use original accessories for equipment maintenance. If you consider that the original accessories are relatively expensive, you do not want to waste this cost, and you must ensure that the accessories used for machine maintenance are no problem and will not affect the service life of the machine. The staff of the air compressor user unit also need to learn some common sense in the maintenance and repair of the air compressor, so that it is easy to identify the inferior accessories and the wrong operation of the machine, so as to timely identify the cause of the machine failure, and feedback or repair the machine condition.
