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.

Another part of the nitrogen vaporized in the liquefier is heated up to a certain temperature in the high pressure heat exchanger and pumped out to the low pressure nitrogen press, the nitrogen separated by the gas-liquid separator is also heated up by the high pressure heat exchanger and then goes to the low pressure nitrogen press, compressed to a certain pressure by the low pressure nitrogen press and then back to the high pressure heat exchanger for heat exchange with liquid air separat...

Special pressure-bearing equipment generally bears internal pressure, that will cause tensile stress inside the shell, which is called working stress. The working stress is directly proportional to the pressure and diameter, and inversely proportional to the vessel wall thickness. The axial stress is half of the circumferential stress. Therefore, for cylindrical vessels, the stress of longitudinal weld is twice that of girth weld. Because the geometric shape of the spherical shell is symmetrical to the spherical center, and the axial stress is equal to the circumferential stress in numerical value. Therefore, the wall thickness of the spherical vessel can be reduced by half as much as that of the cylindrical vessel under the same pressure and diameter.
