Air compressors provide key power support for the production and operation of many enterprises, and their advantages make them widely used, but the defects and operational risks of the equipment should not be ignored. Correct operation and careful maintenance can avoid the shortcomings and ensure the safe and efficient operation of the equipment. The following are the precautions that need to be emphasized in the process of using air compressors:

1. Equipment inspection and installation

• Fastener inspection: Regularly check whether there is any loosening of screws and nuts in each department to ensure that the connection is firm and reliable.
• Belt Tension: Check whether the belt tension is appropriate, too loose or too tight will affect the transmission efficiency and life.
• Pipe Oil Level: Verify that the lines are connected properly and that the oil level is in the proper range.
• electrical safety: Verify that electrical wiring and electrical switches are safe and regulated, and that wiring must be correct.
• leg support: Check that all grounding feet and support points of the equipment are smoothly fixed to prevent vibration and displacement during operation.

2. Preparation for start-up

• Manual rotation of pulleys: Gently rotate the pulley by hand to ensure that there is no jamming and that it operates flexibly.
• Idle warm-up: The compressor should be run without load for 2-3 minutes before working to confirm that its functions are normal before connecting to the load.
• Running direction check: Check whether the spindle steering is consistent with the indicated arrow, if the three-phase motor steering is wrong, you can adjust any two power lines.

3. Air filtration and routine maintenance

• Air Filter Maintenance: Regularly check whether the air filter is contaminated, clean or replace the filter cotton in time (can be cleaned with gasoline) to ensure good air filtration.
• Discharge of condensate: The gas storage tank drain valve should be opened in time after daily work to thoroughly drain the barrel of accumulated water and oil to prevent corrosion or clogging.

4. Safety matters during operation

• High temperature protection: Compressor cylinder head and part of the copper tube due to compression heating, the temperature is high, is a normal phenomenon, operation, pay attention to prevent scalding.
• power failure protection: In case of power failure during operation or at the end of work, be sure to cut off the power supply at the first time to ensure the safety of electricity.
• Pressure piping management: The pressure pipeline in the engine room is strictly prohibited to impact, knocking, and eliminate disassembling and assembling operations under pressure or with electricity.

5. Selection of quality equipment

• Equipment Quality: Purchasing an air compressor with excellent performance and reliable quality (such as Ingersoll Rand and other well-known brands) can effectively reduce the risk of failure, extend service life, and improve overall productivity.
