"Short life" of the air compressor machine lubricating oil? The use on the spot is critical!
July 03, 2022
Air Compressor Oil is an extremely important part of the daily maintenance project of the air compressor. Its service life is directly related to the operating cost and economic benefits of the user's equipment. This article focuses on the influencing factors of the service life of air pressure motor oil, with a view to providing ideas for users' air pressure and oil selection. The main factors that affect the service life of air compressive oil can be divided into two parts. The first is the oil itself, and the second is the use factor.
The influence of the oil itself As an organic compound, lubricating oil is an inevitable process of oxidation and life attenuation. Oil oxidation is a major factor affecting the service life of the air pressure. In response to the oxidation problem, the aircraft oil manufacturer can optimize from the formula. One uses the basic oil with high saturation and oxidation resistance, and the other uses the appropriate additive. In terms of the choice of basic oil, the higher the degree of saturation of the basic oil of hydrocarbons, the more stable the structure is, and the less likely it is to oxidize. In terms of the selection of additives, antioxidants are the most direct additives for oxidation of oil products. It has further occurred by capturing hydrocarbon free radicals, alkyl peroxy free radicals, and oxidation. In addition to the oxidation of oil products, the anti-abrasion performance, anticorrosive rust resistance performance, anti-emulsification and anti-foam performance, and viscosity maintenance performance of the air pressure oil is also an important factor affecting the service life of the oil product. Anti-emulsification and anti-foam performance are the measurement indicators of water and air tolerance capabilities. The lack of performance of these two performances will cause oil products to fail due to emulsification and foam. The viscosity maintenance ability is the evaluation of the stability and continuity of the oil membrane of the air pressure machine. The more stable the oil film, the more daily the lubrication, the wear and corrosion rust of the equipment, and the oil life will be longer. In summary, the formula of the air pressure motor oil is a reflection of the comprehensive performance of a basic oil and multiple function additives. The balancing and stable, high -performance raw material characteristics and scientific ratio are the foundation of the life of the air pressure motor oil. Effect of use factors In addition to the reasons for the air pressure motor oil itself, the use of the site will also have a great impact on the life of the air pressure motor oil. There are mainly the following aspects: 1. Live management The management of air pressure stations mainly includes two major sections: on -site management and equipment management. On -site management mainly refers to the management and operation of air pressure stations, including the daily use of air compressor, scientific management of on -site oil and spare parts, cleaning on -site, heat dissipation and gas exchange of air pressure stations. Equipment management must be implemented to people, specializing in special personnel, and full inspection during the shutdown. Monitoring during use, do not ignore the hidden dangers, and do not hide the small faults. The air compressor oil and the air compressor are inseparable as a whole. Only by maintaining and managing the air compressor can the oil product maximize the effect. 2. Parts selection The main spare parts that affect the life of oil include: air filtration, oil filtration, and oil points, which are also one of the influencing factors of the service life of the air compressor. The filtration performance and quality of the air filtration affect the cleanliness of the air intake, thereby affecting the impurities in the oil in the air compressor; The degree of influencing the separation of oil and gas, the amount of oil in the gas and the amount of gas in the oil have the most direct relationship with the oil. Therefore, the selection of spare parts during the air -pressure engine oil benchmarking has a great impact on the service life of the air pressure motor oil. 3. Daily maintenance In addition to the daily maintenance of the air compressor, in addition to normal replacement of oil, filter element, oil, etc., the maintenance of motor and cooling systems is also critical. In the process of serving the user, the author has encountered abnormal air compressor operation caused by a motor failure and cooling system failure. The motor failure will affect the start and operation of the air compressor, and the cooling system failure will cause high temperature in the equipment, which will negatively affect the service life of the air pressure motor oil. The qualified air compressor maintenance is not only regularly replacing oil, but also a comprehensive and detailed grasp of the various components and operations of the equipment. In summary, extending the service life of the air pressure motor oil is a comprehensive test of the three providers of oil manufacturers, equipment maintenances, and equipment users. Maximize benefits.
