Steps for starting and stopping a piston compressor
Thread Content
My piston compressor stopped working suddenly. I want to get it running again as soon as possible. How do I do that? Do I need to close the inlet and outlet first before restarting it? Do I need to set the air flow rate to 0% when starting it? What precautions should I take while starting it? Please share your insights; points will be given
Close the inlet valve – relieve pressure in the tank – open the outlet valve – set the load to zero – start the oil pump – perform shaft rotation – the control system sends a signal allowing startup – start the machine (while also starting the oil injector) – if there is a shaft-mounted pump, stop the auxiliary oil pump and set it to the operating mode. Shutting down procedure: Set the load to zero – close the inlet valve – release pressure from the machine – shut it down (also stop the oil feeder). The auxiliary oil pump should be able to start automatically. After the main engine has come to a complete stop, rotate the shaft. Stop the auxiliary oil pump after cooling down (shutting down completed)
