What happens if a screw air compressor malfunctions?

Therefore, any malfunction in a screw air compressor not only disrupts production rhythms but may also lead to safety issues and economic losses. Thus, an in-depth study of common faults and their solutions is crucial for ensuring the stability and efficiency of industrial production.

What are common faults in screw air compressors?

Common faults in screw air compressors include difficulty in starting, automatic shutdown, abnormal vibrations, and temperature anomalies. The main causes involve improper slide valve positioning, component wear, insufficient voltage, pipeline vibrations, and inadequate oil levels.

What should I do if my air compressor is too low?

If the capacity of the air compressor is really too low, check the following: Check differential pressure over oil separator. Replace separator when necessary. Check and replace compressed air filters (if installed). Compressor does not unload. Check if pressure switch is correctly set and working.

How do I fix a screw air compressor?

For more information, MINNUO welcomes your inquiries! Screw air compressors' faults, like startup issues and vibrations, can be fixed with slide valve adjustments and proper lubrication.

How does a screw compressor work?

A screw compressor can run loaded ('pumping air') or unloaded ('idle'). The inlet/loading valve opens and closes according to air demand. The inlet valve is controlled by a solenoid valve that supplies control air to the inlet/loading valve. Check solenoid valve coil and solenoid valve operation.

What causes a compressor to stop working?

Compressor filled with lubricating oil or liquid refrigerant: Excessive oil or refrigerant occupies compression space, making starting difficult. Component wear or burning: Wear or burning of moving parts disrupts normal fit, affecting starting performance. Insufficient voltage: Unstable power supply fails to provide adequate starting power.
