What are the reasons for poor performance in piston compressors?

2011-05-12View Original

Thread Content

After repairing the gas valves and starting the machine, it was found that the performance was not good. When the load was increased to 100, the compression ratio was very low: 0.2 for intake at the first stage and 0.28 for exhaust, while at the second stage it was 0.27 for intake and 0.47 for exhaust. I’m not sure what’s going on; could there be an issue with the installation of the gas valves?

Consider the following aspects: 1. Whether there is a leak in the air valve itself; it should be tested for leaks using water before installation. 2. Is the air valve installed in reverse? 3. Check whether the quick-release valve has internal leakage in terms of manufacturing process. 4. To check whether the pressure gauge tube is blocked, you can install a pressure gauge at the set screw of the valve gland to test it. 5. Check whether the piston rings are broken, and whether the piston’s process holes have come loose. 6. Check whether the cylinder bore diameter is beyond the specified limit. 6、

1. Check whether the first and second stage exhaust valves are leaking; this can be done through a water leak test. 2. Check if the radial clearance of the lower piston ring is too large. 3. Check if the inner diameter of the packing is worn out excessively. I disagree with the claim above that the valves are installed in reverse. Answer completed

It is also possible that the rod of the intake valve unloader is too long, causing the intake valve to remain slightly open at all times

It might be due to the air valve; it worked fine during the previous uses. There shouldn’t be any problems with the piston side. We just checked the air valve, and there might have been some mistake during its installation. Now we are replacing the air valve again, and we’re waiting to see the results.

Generally, there are three aspects! First, there is a leak in the air valve, or the air valve has a problem! Second, there’s a problem with the piston rings! Third, is there any leakage in the gas seal!

The answer above is correct; support it~~~~~~~~~~·

Check whether the stem of the inlet air volume control valve is jumping

If the intake and exhaust valves are installed in the wrong order, no flow will occur. . There’s nothing to say about this
