How long is the typical service life of an oxygen compressor cooler, and what maintenance tasks need to be carried out during its operational life?
The design life is generally over 8 years; the shell layer can usually hold up, but the tube bundle won’t~~ It depends on the circumstances – generally, 3 to 5 years of use without problems is considered good~~
The design life is generally over 10 years
The cooling core is likely to last only three to five years~
A few days ago, one unit started leaking after coming to a stop; further inspection revealed that the internal copper pipes were broken, so they had to be replaced. It’s unlikely to last three to five years in our case; usually it lasts 6 years, and those that are damaged have already been in use for 10 years. It seems we need to change our mindset – safety first.
It worked fine for six years before problems started – that’s acceptable. My Ingersoll Rand compressor is about six years old now, and the pipes have clogged twice already~~ Hehe~~
What type of compressor does Ingersoll Rand have? Could you give some advice?
Ingersoll Rand nitrogen compressor, quantity 47,000, outlet pressure 27 bar~~
How is the water quality? What material is the heat exchange tube bundle made of?
Don’t you add chemicals to your water system? We haven’t cleaned it since 2009, and it’s still in great condition
We outsource our water treatment; the company we chose a few years ago wasn’t very good and messed up the water system~~
