Air Compressor Tech Tips
To keep air-cooled rotary screw compressors from shutting down on
high temperature:
- Keep your oil coolers and aftercoolers clean
- Use the proper coolant
- Maintain the appropriate coolant level
- Make sure there are no air restrictions on the intake cooling air
- Have your coolers cleaned at least twice a year. Try to schedule
it so one of the cleanings is done right before summer
- Make sure discharge temperature is within normal range - 175°
F to 200° F
Air Dryer Tech Tips
To keep your air dryer operating efficently:
-
Check the pressure - dryers remove moisture most
efficiently at higher system pressure.
-
Check the temperature - air heats up during the
compression process and cools as it moves downstream. The cooler
the air before entering the dryer, the more efficiently the dryer
operates.
-
Check ambient conditions - High ambient temperatures
reduce the efficiency of an air-cooled dryer. The ambient temperature
should be less than 100° F.
