With the continuous development of environmental protection technologies, energy-efficient, eco-friendly, stable, and durable low-noise oil-free air compressors have become widely adopted across various industries such as industrial manufacturing, scientific research, petrochemicals, healthcare, aerospace, and more. As their usage grows, so does the importance of regular maintenance and troubleshooting for these silent, oil-free systems.
To better understand how to maintain and repair these compressors, the author conducted an interview with Shenzhen Jinbao Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer in this field known for its advanced technology. Based on the insights gained, the following guide is provided to help users better manage and care for their oil-free air compressors.
**1. Pre-purchase Considerations**
Choosing the right compressor is essential for long-term performance and reliability.
- **1.1 Selecting a Reliable Manufacturer**: It is advisable to choose products from manufacturers with strong technical capabilities, such as Shenzhen Jinbao. When purchasing, ensure that the manufacturer provides detailed technical specifications. If the parameters are incomplete or unclear, it may indicate a lack of thorough testing, which should be avoided.
- **1.2 Choosing the Right Model**: Based on your equipment’s needs, select a model with a slightly higher flow rate than required. This helps prevent overworking the system, extending its lifespan and improving efficiency.
**2. Daily Maintenance Tips**
Proper daily maintenance can significantly improve the performance and longevity of your oil-free air compressor.
- **2.1 No Oil Required**: Since oil-free compressors do not contain any oil, never add oil or oily substances.
- **2.2 Follow Rated Specifications**: Always operate the compressor according to the rated voltage, frequency, and load specified on the nameplate. This ensures safe and efficient operation.
- **2.3 Power Management**: Turn off the power when not in use, especially during movement or connection of other devices.
- **2.4 Pressure Range**: Operate within the factory-set pressure range (typically 8 Bar maximum, with a safety relief at 8.8 Bar). Exceeding this range can lead to dangerous situations like tank rupture.
- **2.5 Voltage Monitoring**: Ensure the power supply voltage matches the compressor’s requirements. Too high or too low voltage can damage the motor or cause operational issues.
- **2.6 Cleaning and Inspection**: Regularly clean filters, inspect cables and accessories, and replace damaged parts immediately. Keep the unit clean and dry to maintain optimal performance. Drain the air tank and remove waste water when not in use, storing it in a dry environment.
- **2.7 Air Tank Maintenance**: Drain the gas tank at least once a week to prevent moisture buildup.
- **2.8 Environmental Conditions**: Use the compressor in temperatures between 5°C and 40°C. Avoid placing it in dusty, humid, or poorly ventilated areas. Do not use it near flammable or explosive materials.
**3. Common Faults and Solutions**
Here are some typical issues and how to address them:
- **3.1 Insufficient Air Supply**: If the compressor runs but doesn’t provide enough air, check for leaks in the system, including valves, pipes, and the pressure switch. If no leaks are found, the head may be worn or overloaded. Replace the diaphragm if necessary, as it typically lasts about three years.
- **3.2 Intermittent Operation**: This often occurs due to low voltage or a faulty start capacitor. The minimum operating voltage is usually 200V. If it's lower, the motor may struggle to start. For unstable power, consider using an automatic voltage regulator. A leaking capacitor can also cause slow starting and overheating; replace it with one of the same UF rating.
- **3.3 Compressor Won't Start Unless Tank is Depressurized**: This issue may stem from a clogged check valve. Clean or replace the valve to restore normal function.
- **3.4 Increased Noise Levels**: If the noise has increased, check the current and ensure it’s normal. If so, dust accumulation may be the cause. Clean the motor and blades regularly to reduce noise. Worn bearings or cups may also contribute to excessive sound.
**4. Application Scope**
Oil-free air compressors are ideal for industries requiring clean compressed air, such as laboratories, medical facilities, and food processing. However, they must not be used to compress flammable, explosive, or volatile gases, nor should they handle liquids, solids, or particulates. Always ensure the medium being compressed is clean air only.
