What happens if the air compressor uses three filters and one oil for an extended period of time

The "three filters and one oil" of the air compressor have a specified service life, which is generally replaced after 2000 hours of use. If you continue to use it beyond the service life, it will bring a lot of harm to the normal operation of the air compressor, affect the working performance of the air compressor, accelerate the wear and tear of other components, and greatly reduce the service life of the air compressor.

　　 Air filter is an important protective barrier for air compressors. It can filter out the dust and particulate impurities in the inhaled air. The cleaner the inhaled air, the more guaranteed the performance and service life of the oil filter, oil and gas separator, lubricating oil and the host.

Excessive use: the actual compression ratio of the unit will increase, the load of the main engine will increase, and the life will be shortened; the resistance of the air filter is too large, and the energy consumption of the unit will increase; the exhaust volume is insufficient, which affects the production; , Causing the nose to lock up or even scrapped.

　　Air filter element

　　Oil filter mainly filters out particles and impurities in the air compressor lubricating oil to ensure the cleanliness of the oil circulation system and ensure the safe operation of the air compressor system.

　　Extended use: it will lead to insufficient lubrication of the main engine and shorten the life of the main engine; insufficient oil return will result in excessive exhaust temperature and shorten the life of the lubricant. The filter element is damaged, and the unfiltered air compressor lubricating oil enters the main engine, causing damage to the main engine.

Oil filter

　　 The main function of the oil and gas separator is to separate the oil in the compressed air to ensure the quality of the compressed air.

Excessive use: The oil content of the produced compressed air increases, which affects the operation of the back-end purification equipment and the normal operation of the gas equipment, and affects the quality of the final product; poor separation efficiency, increased fuel consumption, and increased operating costs. Lack of oil will also cause the host to malfunction; after failure, the glass fiber falls off and enters the lubricating oil, which shortens the life of the oil filter element and accelerates the wear of the host.

　　 oil filter

　　 Air compressor lubricating oil mainly plays the role of lubrication, cooling, sealing, cleaning and noise reduction.

　　 Overdue use: If you continue to run without changing the oil, the machine will shut down due to a high temperature alarm; the lubrication effect will deteriorate and the wear of the main machine will be accelerated; the quality of the lubricating oil will change, and coking and carbon deposits inside the main machine will directly affect the service life of the air compressor.

　　 If the "three filters and one oil" of the air compressor exceeds the service life, there will be an early warning signal during operation, but it will not shut down. However, if an early warning signal is issued, the relevant personnel should be contacted in time for maintenance and replacement. Do not change the "three filters and one oil" in time because of small losses, which will directly affect the normal operation of the air compressor, and the future maintenance costs will be greater.
