It should contact with the front and rear processes when the piston compressor is ready to stop, we should pay attention to the following sequence: first, cut off the gas supply slowly. In order to prevent the outlet pressure from rising after the gas supply is cut off, open the vent valve at the same time. For the oxygen compressor, the vent valve should be opened slowly, because excessive opening may produce static electricity and cause fire. Then, stop the motor. After the motor stops, turn off the circulating oil pump, grease injector motor and cooling water valve. However, there are also exception cases. For example, in case of emergency shutdown, in order to save time and prevent the accident from expanding, the power supply can be cut off immediately to stop the compressor with load.
