Technical Q&A

How should air compressors be maintained? How often should lubricating oil be changed? What maintenance is required for an air compressor during its initial operation? What precautions should be taken? We provide comprehensive answers to all these questions in one go.

An air compressor trip occurs when certain faults cause the compressor to overload or trigger the protective device to disengage, ultimately resulting in a trip and cessation of operation.

In many manufacturing enterprises, ‘continuous operation’ is virtually an essential test that equipment must withstand, and vacuum pumps are naturally no exception. Whether in electronic ceramics, lithium batteries, pharmaceutical packaging, or food processing, any downtime of industrial vacuum pumps translates to interrupted production capacity, increased energy consumption, and process rework.

Thanks to their oil-free contamination, high operational efficiency, and strong reliability, oil-free centrifugal air compressors have gained extensive adoption in industries and projects with stringent requirements for air purity and supply stability.

Small textile factories or low-quality processes tend to use ordinary screw compressors with filters, which are less expensive, while high-end fabrics and stable air sources require oil free air compressors.

To meet the challenge of sustained high temperature environments, it is particularly important to develop an effective air compressor maintenance strategy and select high-quality equipment.
