As an important equipment in the field of modern industry, screw air compressor plays a vital role in providing compressed air. From food processing to machinery manufacturing, from pharmaceutical production to chemical synthesis, the stable operation of screw air compressors is an important guarantee to ensure smooth production lines and stable product quality. However, like all mechanical equipment, screw air compressors also have various problems due to wear, aging or improper operation during use. Therefore, regular overhaul and maintenance is not only the key to prolong the life of the equipment, but also the necessary measures to ensure the safety and efficiency of production. This article will deeply discuss the overhaul and maintenance process of screw air compressor, and take you into this complex and fine maintenance world. Please criticize and correct me.
I.The working principle and importance of screw air compressor
Screw air compressor through a pair of parallel configuration of the spiral rotor (male rotor and female rotor) in the shell high-speed rotation, air suction and compression, and ultimately discharge high-pressure gas. This design not only has the characteristics of simple structure, smooth operation and low noise, but also can provide stable gas output in a wide pressure range, which is very suitable for industrial applications requiring continuous gas supply.
Its importance is reflected in:Compared with the piston air compressor, the screw air compressor consumes less energy under the same pressure, which helps to reduce production costs.
Stable and reliable: the screw design reduces vibration and wear, and improves the stability and reliability of the equipment.
Easy to maintain: Modular design makes maintenance and repair more convenient, reducing downtime.
II. Daily Inspection: The First Line of Defense to Prevent Failures
Daily inspection is the basis of screw air compressor maintenance, through regular observation, recording and simple adjustment, can effectively prevent many potential failures.
Oil level check: make sure the lubricating oil is within the specified scale line, too low will lead to insufficient lubrication, too high may cause abnormal oil pressure.
Exhaust temperature: Under normal circumstances, the exhaust temperature should fluctuate within the set range, too high may indicate a cooling system failure or filter blockage.
Leak inspection: including fuel and vapor separator, pipe connection and seal, any leakage should be handled in time to prevent oil and gas mixture or pressure drop.
Vibration and noise: Abnormal vibration and noise are often precursors to loose or worn parts and need to be checked in time.
III. Regular Maintenance: The Key to Maintaining Equipment Performance
Regular maintenance is the core of ensuring long-term stable operation of screw air compressor. Depending on the frequency of use and the working environment, the maintenance cycle can be set to monthly, quarterly or annual.
Replace the lubricating oil and oil filter: the lubricating oil not only lubricates the rotor and bearing, but also plays a cooling and sealing role. The oil filter is responsible for filtering impurities and keeping the oil clean. It is generally recommended to replace every 2000-4000 hours of operation.
Cleaning the cooling system: the surface of the cooler is easy to accumulate dust and dirt, affecting the heat dissipation effect, resulting in an increase in the exhaust temperature. Regularly use compressed air or special cleaning agent to clean the cooler to maintain its good heat dissipation performance.
IV. Professional maintenance: in-depth solution of complex problems
When daily inspections and regular maintenance cannot solve the problem, a more in-depth professional overhaul is required. This usually includes the following:
Rotor and shell clearance adjustment: after a long time operation, the gap between the rotor and the shell may increase, resulting in a decline in compression efficiency. Measure and adjust the gap with professional tools to restore equipment performance.
Electrical system maintenance: Check the electrical components such as motor, starter, control circuit board, etc., to ensure the electrical connection is reliable, no short circuit and open circuit.
Pressure control system calibration: the accuracy of pressure switches, pressure sensors and other components directly affect the pressure adjustment function of the air compressor. Check regularly to ensure stable and reliable pressure control.
Vibration analysis and fault diagnosis: the use of vibration analyzer to analyze the frequency spectrum of the air compressor, identify abnormal vibration sources, such as imbalance, loose or worn parts, to provide a basis for accurate maintenance.
V. Intelligent maintenance: future trends
With the development of Internet of Things technology, intelligent maintenance has gradually become a new trend of screw air compressor maintenance. By installing sensors and remote supervisory control system, the state in service of air compressor can be monitored in real time.
Remote monitoring: Users can remotely view the working status of the air compressor through a mobile phone or computer, find anomalies in time and take measures.
Data analysis: The large amount of data collected by the system can be analyzed through algorithms to predict equipment life, optimize maintenance plans, and reduce unplanned downtime.
Intelligent diagnosis: Combined with artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, the system can automatically identify fault types, provide maintenance recommendations, and improve maintenance efficiency and accuracy.
VI. Security Considerations
In the maintenance and maintenance of screw air compressors, safety is always the first priority. Here are some basic safety precautions:
Power off operation: Be sure to cut off the power supply before maintenance, and hang up the "No Closing" warning board to prevent accidental start.
Pressure release: Before maintenance, the internal pressure of the air compressor should be released to avoid high pressure gas wounding.
Personal Protection: Wear appropriate protective equipment, such as helmets, protective glasses, gloves, etc., to prevent accidental injuries.
Follow the operating procedures: strictly in accordance with the equipment manual and operating procedures for maintenance, to avoid misuse of equipment damage or personal injury.
The overhaul and maintenance of screw air compressor is a systematic project, involving daily inspection, regular maintenance, professional maintenance and intelligent maintenance. Through scientific management and careful maintenance, not only can extend the life of equipment, improve operating efficiency, but also can effectively prevent safety accidents and ensure production safety. As the cornerstone of industrial production, the healthy operation of screw air compressors deserves more attention and efforts. Let us go hand in hand to explore more efficient and intelligent maintenance methods and contribute to the sustained prosperity of industrial production.
