9 reasons why piston air compressors are insufficiently supplied or even out of service

June 30, 2021

Recently, a customer inquired: The piston air compressor currently in use is out of service without an air supply.

Dream Air Compressor summarizes the reasons for insufficient air supply or even outage of piston air compressors.

Reasons for the insufficient air supply of piston air compressor

(1) The air compressor cannot reach the rated speed, such as the transmission belt is slipping.

(2) The valve disc is deformed, unevenly worn, or there is dirt on the contact surface; the backing ring between the valve seat and the valve hole is loose.

(3) The spring in the valve is loose or the spring fails.

(4) Excessive wear of the cylinder and piston ring, the piston ring is stuck, broken, or overlapped and turned together.

(5) Check the air filter and air valve passage to discharge impurities and carbon deposits.

(6) The pipeline is leaking, and the pipeline is too long.

(7) The loading and unloading solenoid valve is broken, and the air compressor is not loading.

(8) The two one-way valves on the top of the compressor cylinder have poor sealing performance.

(9) Poor cooling of the cylinder.

Please check the above reasons step by step, or close the ball valve after the air tank, calculate the time for the air compressor to fill the air tank, and check whether the air compressor is working normally.

The calculation method is: t={set load (rated pressure) + 1} × air storage tank volume ÷ air compressor displacement. When the gas storage tank is full, if the measurement time and the calculation time are not much different, the air compressor can be deemed to be working normally.

Piston air compressors are widely used in medical treatment, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, pharmacy, food and beverage processing, post and telecommunications, petrochemicals, electronic pneumatic instruments, spray paint and sand, powder and granular gas delivery, air stirring, film photosensitive, construction engineering, Materials, and other industries are very versatile.

The quality of the air compressor is directly related to the production output. It is very important to choose a high-quality air compressor with air supply temperature.

Features of Dream Piston Type Silent Air Compressor

 

1. Wide applicable pressure range: Piston compressors can be designed into low pressure, medium pressure, high pressure, and ultra-high pressure according to different working conditions. At constant speed, when the discharge pressure fluctuates, the displacement of the piston compressor can basically remain unchanged.

2. High compression efficiency: The process of compressing gas by a piston compressor is a closed system, and its compression efficiency is high.

3. Strong adaptability: The piston compressor has a wide range of displacement, and the piston compressor of the same specification can be applied to compress other gas media with a little modification, and it has a wide range of applications.

4. Simple structure: easy to move and operate and maintain.
