Minimum temperature for compressor startup in winter
Thread Content
Experts, what is the lowest starting temperature for compressors in the winters of the north, or are there any other measures?
There are many types of compressors; I’m not sure which one you mean. If it has an oil dilution station, as long as the oil temperature is above 15°C before the equipment is started, it will generally work fine. The equipment manual must have regulations in this regard. For reference.
It depends on your compressor’s lubrication requirements. Generally, the lubricating oil in such units comes with an electric heater, which allows for control over the temperature
Units generally come equipped with start-up interlocks and start-up temperatures; these values vary depending on the manufacturer and the type of lubricant used. Oil stations or oil tanks are fitted with electric heaters and temperature control switches.
Here, it operates at no load as long as the interlock start conditions are met; it is then integrated into the system once the oil temperature stabilizes
