Starting from now, in order to enhance communication among users, a 【Daily Question】 activity has been launched on the Mechanical Equipment Technology forum. We hope everyone will participate actively to progress and improve together! ! ! Rewards: 3 wealth points for active participation, 10-15 wealth points for correct answers. This question is valid for two days; no scoring will be given after that period. Oil pressure is a very important parameter, as its measurement can indicate whether the oil filter is clogged or whether the compressor is receiving sufficient oil supply. How can one determine whether the filter is clogged and whether the compressor is receiving sufficient oil supply by checking the oil pressure? Which two parameters can be used to tell? Answer: The degree of blockage in the oil filter can be determined by the pressure difference before and after the filter, commonly referred to as the pressure difference across the oil filter. The difference between the oil pressure and the exhaust pressure, referred to as the oil pressure difference, can indicate whether the oil supply is sufficient. ================================ High-quality promotions: Mechanical equipment---Maintenance procedures for York screw compressors https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1806833-1-1.html Mechanical equipment---Upgrading of York Quinton control centers https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1804837-1-1.html Mechanical equipment---Major repairs for GEA Grasox screw compressors https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1800467-1-1.html Mechanical equipment---Disassembly and maintenance of British HOWDEN screw compressors https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1832529-1-1.html Mechanical equipment---Disassembly and maintenance of Japanese Maekawa MYCOM screw compressors https://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1786445
The lubricating oil pressure mentioned generally is located after the oil cooler and the filter; in addition, a differential pressure gauge is usually installed at each of the oil cooler and the oil filter to detect any blockages. The oil pressure measurement point is located inside the oil tank; a clogged filter at the outlet of the lubricating oil pump can prevent the lubricating oil from being pumped into the oil tank or the areas that require lubrication ; Due to the clogged filter, the outlet pressure of the pump increased (pressure buildup), the flow rate of the lubricating oil decreased, and as a result, the oil pressure dropped.
The oil filter is too dirty, blocking the oil flow and causing an increase in pressure drop. This allows one to determine whether the compressor is receiving sufficient oil supply. It can be determined using the two parameters of pressure at the inlet and outlet of the oil filter.
To prevent the filter from clogging, its pressure difference between the inlet and outlet is measured; if this difference exceeds the specified value, it is considered necessary to clean the filter. Moreover, the fuel supply is insufficient. To ensure the oil supply pressure, a pressure gauge for measuring oil pressure is installed at the outlet of the oil pump ; Pressure gauges are also installed on the distribution main, and even in large units, pressure gauges are provided in front of each oil inlet. When the oil pressure is below the specified value, it is considered that the oil supply is insufficient.
1. Pressure difference before and after the oil filter, 2. Outlet pressure of the oil pump
The pressure difference before and after the oil filter can indicate the degree of blockage in the filtration path.

Pressure gauges can be installed before and after the filter; a large pressure drop or fluctuations indicate that it’s time to replace or clean the filter
