New post ---- Removing the air compressor filter element to reduce resistance
Thread Content
This post was last edited by you*n*nyou on 2011-12-6 at 11:24; there was heavy fog in winter for several consecutive days. . . . The compressor resistance has been at -3KPa. Only by removing half of the air compressor filter element did the resistance return to normal. When the filter element was removed, it was covered with a layer of ice. . What are the effects of running the air compressor for a long time without a filter element?
Reply to 1# Patient: Patient, please never remove the filter element! This will affect air quality and cause the impeller rotor to become unbalanced. That will be troublesome by then. . . . . . There is a method: wrap the outside of the filter mesh with coarse-pored foam (artificial sponge) or coarse-pored filter cloth, which will prevent some of the mist from being drawn in. Additionally, purchase a set of filter cartridges as a spare. Once high resistance is encountered, remove part of it and replace it with a new filter cartridge. The removed filter cartridges are taken indoors to be dried, and then purged with dry nitrogen gas before being set aside for use. Once again, it is essential to replace the filter element – do not remove it! ! ! ! ! !
I’m not sure if the air compressor filter element has a backflow of air; if it does, it is recommended to use hot gas as the backflow air, which will solve the icing problem.
Generally, instrument air is used for backflow ventilation, which is usually at normal temperature; if hot gas is used, jacket heating can be applied
Do the 2 people upstairs want to use hot air for reverse blowing? Are there any viable examples? I’m not sure how much heat is needed to melt ice and snow in an instant; I look forward to your guidance. Thank you!
.......Thank you all. It has been running for a day. . . Because there is no material. . . When 5 rows of filters were replaced with 2 rows and 1 row was removed, the resistance was 1 KPa. . Currently, the resistance for a complete replacement is 1.3 kPa. . The backblast system is broken. . Sorrow. . Preparing materials for winter. . .
The reverse blowing system is broken····· It’s unfortunate. A layer of fibrous material applied to the frame can help prevent fogging.
A layer of fibrous material wrapped around the frame can prevent fogging. This method works well because the non-woven material has excellent water conductivity, which makes it suitable for your operating environment. When I saw this post, I almost went crazy – I’m already afraid of sucking in something whenever I disassemble and reassemble things; your air compressors must be sucking in air with ease these days. What’s going to happen next? Is fixing machines free of cost? When there is a lot of dust, people know to wear masks; but machines, despite being made of steel, can’t withstand such intense damage.
