Air separation equipmentReasons and elimination methods of oil leakage failure of air compressor:

There are three types of common failures in the use of air compressor: oil leakage failure, overheating failure and abnormal sound failure, which are analyzed and solved by classification below.

Failure phenomenon: in the daily operation of the air compressor, the oil leakage phenomenon of the air compressor often occurs, and lubricating oil overflows outside.

Cause of failure:

1. Oil seal falls off or oil seal defects leak oil.

2. The loose and open main shaft causes oil seal leakage.

3. The joint surface leaks, and the inlet and return oil pipe joints are loose.

4. If the belt is installed too tightly, the bearing bush will be worn.

5. Casting or processing defects can also cause oil leakage of the air compressor.

Exclusion method:

1. When the air compressor leaks oil, pay attention to observing the oil seal position, and check whether the oil seal is cracked, and whether the inner lip is cracked or flanged. One of the above situations should be replaced; valve imported pump industrial washing machine

2. Check whether there are scratches and defects on the joint surface of Oil Seal and main axis, and replace those with scratches and defects.

3. Check whether the oil return is smooth or not. If the oil return is not smooth and the pressure of the crank box is too high, the oil seal will leak or fall off. The minimum diameter of the oil return pipe must be guaranteed, and it will not be twisted or bent and the oil return will be smooth.

4. Check the matching size of the oil seal and the box, and replace those that do not meet the standard.

5. Move the main axle hard to check whether the neck clearance is too large. If the clearance is too large, the bearing bush and oil seal should be replaced at the same time.

6. Check the sealing condition of each joint sealing pad, repair or replace the sealing pad; check the Bolt of the oil Inlet and return joint and the screw thread of the box and tighten it.

7. Check the oil leakage of the air compressor and readjust the tightness of the belt. Press 10mm with your thumb.

8. If the air compressor leaks oil, it is necessary to check the defects existing in the casting or processing of the box body, and repair or replace the defective parts.

The air in nature is not absolutely dry, and a certain amount of gaseous water vapor is always mixed inside, which is a conventional part of air. Under normal pressure and normal temperature, water vapor is evenly dispersed in the air and will not condense into liquid water, so we cannot directly observe water. In the air separation operation, the air is first compressed by the air compressor. After the air is compressed, the volume is greatly reduced, and the density of water vapor in unit space increases sharply. At the same time, the saturated water content of air will change with the increase of pressure. Under high pressure, the upper limit of water vapor contained in air tends to be fixed. When the water vapor content exceeds the saturation value corresponding to the pressure, the air will reach the supersaturated state, which has the basis of water precipitation. The air compression process will generate a lot of heat, and the high temperature environment can temporarily improve
