Methods for preventing fire, explosion, and the accumulation of carbon deposits in compressed air systems

Thread Content

A brief discussion by FST on methods to prevent fire, explosion, and the accumulation of carbon deposits in compressed air systems: 1. Select the appropriate type of oil. The amount of oil supplied should be appropriate, but care must be taken to avoid insufficient oil supply, which could accelerate the wear of the piston rings. 2. Regularly inspect the compressor cylinders and piston rods. 3. Pay attention to all valves to prevent leaks and carbon buildup. 4. The air intake must be filtered to prevent the entry of flammable gases. 5. The oil separator should be equipped with an oil drain valve. 6. The intercooler and cold water jackets need to be regularly inspected to prevent them from reaching abnormally high temperatures. 7. Use thermometers and pressure gauges to monitor key locations. 8. Keep track of the temperature in various areas, paying special attention to any abnormal temperature increases at the outlet of the exhaust valves. 9. Do not use gasoline or diesel to clean various parts of the compressor. 10. Detect the CO and CO2 levels in the pipeline.
