It’s getting cold; air compressor users are asked to be extra careful

2016-01-21View Original

Thread Content

To all air compressor users: Due to the low temperatures recently, the viscosity of screw oil increases, which can cause the temperature of screw air compressors to rise suddenly when they start in the morning or lead to shutdown due to overheating. In severe cases, this may result in the compressor engine getting stuck due to a lack of oil. Once again, we remind you to perform start-up operations carefully – please keep this in mind! Additional reminder: Be sure to drain the water accumulated in the tanks and pipes before leaving work, otherwise the valves and pipes may freeze and crack! ! When the temperature is low, do not turn on the cold dryer to prevent the compressor from freezing up and stopping functioning.

Oh my, an epiphany! A few days ago, I just filled the air compressor with oil, and when it was started, the exhaust temperature rose quite quickly, approaching the shutdown temperature. I never understood why; now that I’ve read your reply, it’s because of the high viscosity of the oil – it all makes sense now! Thank you!

So, oil heaters are so useful!

So can it be started again after shutting down due to overheating?
