When winter comes, the temperature gradually drops, so with the arrival of winter, our air compressor will also have various problems in use。At this time, we need to know what matters need attention in the use of air compressors in winter, and what is the relationship between these matters and the operation of air compressors?

1.Influence of winter on air compressor

After the cold air enters the air compressor, it will produce a lot of water steam when it encounters high temperature, which will increase the burden of the air compressor post-treatment water steam filtration, so it is necessary to discharge the water in the post-treatment equipment from time to time。Compressed air enters the production area through pipes for use by users, and these pipes are either buried underground or open in the air。In cold weather, the open pipe will cause some moisture to be generated due to low temperature, and some will even affect the normal use of users because of the increase in moisture。

For example, wet air compressors in the mining industry may not affect the normal use of air tools, but it will affect the strength of air tools。In the laser cutting machine industry, if the high oil and water content in the compressed air will affect the accuracy of the cutting process。

2.Influence of winter on air compressor lubricating oil

The oil system is an important part of the air compressor circulation system. In the normal operation process, the oil system will produce friction because of the rotation of the machine, and the heat generated by friction will increase the temperature of the lubricating oil。The low temperature is very beneficial for the oil system that needs to be cooled。However, for standby equipment or air compressors that do not start all year round, when they start again at low temperatures, the oil circuit may condense because of the use of lubricating oil at low temperatures, so the start will fail。Therefore, it is necessary to check the oil circuit system to see whether the lubricating oil is in normal condition。

For the storage of lubricating oil, it is required to be stored in a heated room, if stored outdoors, the lubricating oil may be condensed because of low temperature, and can not be used immediately when needed。Lubricating oil is a flammable material, and it should be stored away from other materials separately to avoid intrusion by other items and failure。

Note: After shutdown in winter, be sure to pay attention to emptying all gas, sewage and water，Empty the water, gas and oil in various pipes and gas packets，Due to winter unit work，Relatively high temperature，A shutdown due to low outside temperature，After the air is cooled, a large amount of condensed water will be produced，Exists in various control channels，It is easy to cause hidden dangers such as blockage and expansion of control pipeline。
