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.

Water evaporation, wind-blown losses and other situations occurring in industrial circulating cooling water system operation, resulting in the continuous concentration of circulating water, then the salts contained therein exceed the standard, anions and cations increase, PH value changes significantly, resulting in the deterioration of water quality. The temperature of the circulating water rises and the PH value and nutrients increase, which is conducive to the reproduction of microorganisms. ...

If the temperature after the expander of the air separation unit is too low, it should find out the cause of the low temperature and take measures to increase the temperature after the expander. If the low temperature of expander is caused by liquid air in front of expander, appropriate measures should be taken to reduce the liquid air level of lower column. If it is caused by other reasons, the more effective method is generally throttling in front of the expander. Throttling will not increase the temperature in front of the expander, but throttling will reduce the pressure in front of the expander, so the pressure difference between the front and the back of the expander will be reduced, the expander will do less work and the temperature will be reduced, so the temperature at the after of the expander can be increased.
