The necessity of regular drainage of air compressors cannot be ignored, and the main reasons are as follows:
1.Avoid high humidity in compressed air: Moisture and impurities are inevitably generated during compressor operation. If not removed in time, this moisture can lead to an increase in the humidity of the compressed air, which will affect the quality of the gas, which in turn will adversely affect the downstream gas equipment.
2.Maintain the efficiency of oil-gas separation: If the water inside the air compressor cannot be discharged, the effect of oil-gas separation will be reduced, resulting in an increase in the pressure difference of the oil-air separator and the risk of corrosion of the parts.
3.Ensuring gas quality: The moisture content in compressed air is closely related to ambient humidity. If the environment in the computer room is humid, the water content in the air may exceed the use standard, affecting the gas quality.
4.Protect equipment from damage: The water vapor generated during the operation of the air compressor will condense into water through the buffering and storage action of the air storage tank, as well as the decompression and cooling effect. By discharging this condensate on a regular basis, you can avoid damage to your equipment.
5.Reduced operational burden: Regular discharge of condensate helps reduce the operational burden on aftertreatment equipment. Especially for adsorption dryers, if the air storage tank fails to drain in time, the moisture will directly affect the function of the molecular sieve in the adsorption tower, which may lead to the failure of the molecular sieve in the long run.
6. Prevent equipment corrosion: If the moisture inside the air compressor is not discharged, it will cause the equipment parts to corrode, affecting the safety and service life of the equipment.
7. Improve equipment performance: Through preventive maintenance, such as regularly changing the oil, cleaning the filter, checking the belt, etc., it can ensure that the lubrication, sealing and transmission system of the air compressor are kept in the best condition, so as to improve the operation efficiency and stability of the equipment.
In conclusion, regular draining is a critical step in the maintenance of air compressors, and proper draining operation can not only extend the service life of the equipment, but also ensure the stable and efficient operation of the equipment.
