How often are the screw air compressors in your power plant (or utility) department serviced? Should the air filter, oil filter, oil, and coolant be replaced every six months? What maintenance should be done on a cold dryer?
The maintenance cycle for screw air compressor units is generally 2,000–4,000 hours, depending on the equipment and operating environment. The replacement intervals for the air filter, oil filter, as well as the oil and coolant are usually after 2,000–4,000 hours of operation, or every six months, depending on the actual condition of the equipment. The maintenance of cold dryers typically includes cleaning the heat exchangers, keeping the air ducts unobstructed, checking the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant and lubricating oil, and inspecting and cleaning the condensate drainage system. Its maintenance cycle is generally every 6,000 hours of operation or once a year, but it should also be carried out at appropriate times depending on the equipment’s usage. .
The air compressor manual should specify the maintenance schedule, including tasks such as oil replacement, just like in car maintenance.

(Different brands result in varying cycles.) During debugging, it is possible to set alerts on the control panel to indicate the need for maintenance; these alerts can be reset after maintenance is completed. If abnormalities such as oil temperature, oil pressure, or exhaust temperature are detected during operation, the machine must be stopped promptly to determine the cause and carry out maintenance. Main maintenance tasks for cold dryers (similar to air conditioners): pipeline cleaning, leak detection, and leak repair ； Radiator cleaning ； Fan-assisted refueling ； Internal hygiene purge ； Recharge refrigerant ； Instrument inspection and calibration.
