Technical Q&A

Compressed air is an essential component in many industrial applications. However, microbial contamination in compressed air, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and algae, can adversely affect industrial processes and product quality.

Firstly, we should understand the cost composition of compressed air: the first purchase cost only accounts for a small part of the total cost of compressed air. In fact, the full cost of compressed air includes three parts: "purchase cost," "operating cost," and "extra cost."

We often receive requests from a large number of customers who hope to add new compressor equipment. Many of these customers are prompted by internal clients, such as production workshops, presenting a pressing concern: poor air flow.

In order to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the air compressor, each operator must first have a thorough understanding of the working principle, performance characteristics, and equipment structure of the air compressor. In addition, it is also crucial to always follow the safe operating regulations related to the use of air compressors.

The normal operating temperature of an air compressor typically ranges between 75°C to 95°C. One of the common air compressor failure is overheating of the air compressor. For screw air compressors, operating temperatures exceeding 100°C will cause high-temperature alarms or shutdowns within the system.

Properly shutting down a compressor is vital for its durability and safety, whether it's in an industrial setting or for personal use. Following the correct steps can prevent component damage, minimize wear, and ensure operator safety.
