What are the reasons for this issue with the bearings of centrifugal air compressors?
Thread Content
This situation occurs at levels 1, 2, and 3; in addition, oil and carbon deposits are quite noticeable
This equipment may have excessive levels of contaminants in its lubricating oil; it is necessary to take samples of the oil regularly to check for contaminants, acid value, water content, viscosity, and to determine whether it meets the required standards. If the oil does not meet these standards, it must be replaced.

Test all the parameters of the lubricating oil; replace it if it does not meet the standards. Pay attention to the load when starting and stopping again
The presence of carbon deposits indicates that the unit is operating stably; as long as the temperature is normal, there’s no need to worry. Just carry out maintenance and repairs, and then it will be fine again!
It’s a Cooper multi-stage centrifugal compressor; the issue lies in the amount of oil supplied to the bearings, and there might also be a problem with the quality of the oil. It’s an easy issue to resolve.
