The air humidity will change with the temperature rise and fall, and the air compressor will also be affected by the air humidity. When air is compressed, its temperature will rise and its relative humidity will decrease; When the compressed air expands, the air temperature decreases, the relative humidity increases, and water usually separates. If there is too much water in the air, what is the impact on the air compressor?
1. The moisture in the working air narrows the compressed air passage and increases the airflow resistance.
2. Gas volumetric efficiency.
3. It is not conducive to the air compression of the air compressor, making the compression equipment and pneumatic machinery subject to hydraulic impact. If the cooler and cylinder contain more water, the machine is easy to be damaged.;
4. The moisture in the air is highly corrosive, which will shorten the service life of the compressor and pneumatic machinery that are easy to rust.
5. If water seeps into the lubricating oil of the air compressor, the lubricating performance of the machine will be reduced during the compression process, which will lead to the deterioration of the lubricating oil, increase the wear between parts, easily cause mechanical equipment failure, affect its normal operation, and increase the maintenance cost of the enterprise.
6. One cubic meter of wet air (i.e. molecular density of air) is less than the weight of dry air of the same volume. At the same time, when the compressed air passes through the cooler, most of the water vapor condenses, and the ability to calculate the weight decreases.
7. When the temperature of the water supply system is lower than zero, the pipe wall temperature will freeze. The smaller the diameter, the worse the situation will be. Sometimes even a pipe will be completely frozen, which will also affect the normal operation of the air compressor. Therefore, the quality of compressed air is not only related to its pressure, but also affected by humidity or other factors.
To keep the temperature of the air compressor equipment normal, it is necessary to do a good job in the repair and maintenance of mechanical equipment, conduct regular inspections, and find solutions to problems immediately to ensure the normal and reliable operation of the air compressor.
