Maintenance of reciprocating compressors when shut down
Thread Content
Hello everyone, our company has three compressors: one as a spare and two in use! I would like to ask how we should regularly maintain this backup reciprocating compressor in order to ensure it functions properly when in use!
Regular turning of the shaft, inspection of the lubrication system, maintenance of the inlet and outlet valves; at that time it can operate under no-load conditions for two to three hours
Industrial engineering systems such as regular gear turning, system medium replacement, proper operation of the lubricating oil system, and proper operation of the circulating cooling water are all in operational condition at all times
First of all, regular turning of the shaft is necessary; then nitrogen filling, valve maintenance, and lubrication； Conduct a trial run of the equipment the day before startup to check for any noise or vibration!
