How to maintain the air compressor in winter

In winter, there are higher requirements for the operation of air compressors, and some air compressors cannot operate normally when the temperature is extremely low. Especially in the low-pressure air compressor style, the addition and maintenance of lubricating oil in winter is even more important. Today, the editor will explain to you what issues you need to pay attention to in winter, hoping to help you.


Not only in winter, but also in other seasons, check the oil level, check the oil quality, etc. before starting the machine. Because the temperature is too low in winter, when changing the oil, first turn on the low-pressure air compressor and run it for a period of time. When the oil level reaches the normal temperature, replace it, and do a comprehensive and simple cleaning of the compressor series. After replacing the compressor with high-quality lubricating oil and running again, the performance will be improved.


Before using the compressor in winter, be sure to do a good job of preheating, which helps to extend the service life of the compressor. The temperature of the equipment can be increased by increasing the ambient temperature, and the temperature of the lubricating oil of the low-pressure air compressor can be increased by mechanical friction.


Many companies basically operate the air compressor 24 hours a day. Normally, as long as it is not extremely low temperature, the probability of the problem that the air compressor cannot be started due to too low temperature is not very high, but the external temperature Too high or too low will indeed have an impact on the operation of any air compressor, such as increased energy consumption, noise changes, etc., so if your air compressor is running at extremely low temperatures in winter, please pay attention to the frequency of maintenance and inspection It is higher than normal time.
