The compressor cooler is a critical component of screw air compressors, primarily responsible for cooling both the compressor oil and compressed air. A blockage in the cooler can lead to increased temperatures. A significant portion of the reasons for an air compressor tripping due to high temperatures is attributed to a blocked cooler.
What are the causes of air compressor cooler blockage?
Dust is a common cause of clogged air compressor coolers. It's often due to long-term use without regular blowing off dust or cleaning the air compressor cooler. On the other hand, the surrounding environment of the air compressor has a significant amount of dust.
The usage environment of air compressor stations is severe, with inadequate protective measures in place. For instance, in the textile industry, the floating fibers and lint; in furniture factories, wood shavings; and in steel mills, iron filings, all of which can float in the air and adhere to coolers, leading to blockages.
Some users have purchased low-quality compressor lubricants in pursuit of a bargain; or the compressor has been operating under high temperatures for an extended period, causing carbon deposits to form inside the cooler, leading to blockages. This reduces the amount of lubricant flowing through the radiator, resulting in a decrease in heat dissipation efficiency.
The main causes of air compressor cooler blockage are the three mentioned above. Reminder: To prevent blockage in the air compressor cooler, ensure the normal operation of the air compressor, and improve production efficiency, it is recommended to locate new air compressor stations as far away from pollution sources as possible and conduct proper protective measures. Additionally, users should regularly clean and maintain the air compressor, and seek professional after-sales personnel for any issues or malfunctions.
