Screw compressor is a positive displacement compressor from the mechanical type, which is composed of the driving rotor and driven rotor, the main body and a pair of synchronous gears. Therefore, the common faults of screw compressor are as follows:

 

1.The bearing is burnt out. Because of the foreign matter in the oil system, the oil pressure and the quality of the oil are reduced, resulting in the bearing burning out. The main treatment methods are: check the oil supply system; clean the oil filter and the cooling pipe of the oil cooler; check and adjust the oil pressure regulating valve; test the oil quality, and replace the oil when it is not good; check and deal with the oil leakage points.

 

2.The rotor is burnt out. When foreign matters enter into the compressed medium system, the temperature of the rotor rises, the temperature of the cooling oil of the rotor increases due to the high temperature of the inhaled medium, and the compression ratio increases, which may cause the rotor to burn out. The main treatment methods are: check the air system; clean the intercooler; check the cooling water volume of the cooler and water jacket; clean the oil cooler; check the nozzle and channel of the oil cooler.

 

3.Abnormal vibration and sound. Vibration and abnormal sound may be caused by shaft shaking or looseconnection. Handling methods usually require disassembly inspection.

The air separation column mainly includes main heat exchanger, liquefier, distillation column, condensing evaporator, etc. The main heat exchanger, condensing evaporator and liquefier are plate type of heat exchangers. It is a new type of all aluminum metal composite partition heat exchanger. The average temperature difference is small, and the heat exchange efficiency is as high as 98-99%. Distillation column is the unit of air separation. The types of column unit are classified according to the internal parts. The sieve plate column with sieve plate, the bubble cap column with bubble cap plate, and the packed column with packing material. The sieve plate is widely used in air separation distillation column because of its simple structure, easy manufacture and high efficiency. Packed column is mainly used for distillation column with diameter less than 0.8m and height less than 7m. Bubble column is seldom used because of its complicated structure and difficult manufacture.
