Maintenance Of Rotary Vane Compressors Becomes Simple
Rotating vane technologies can provide the high reliability, efficiency, and quality your business needs-but only if they are effectively serviced and maintained.
Although there is no professional service engineer and I always recommend investing in a service and support contract, there are a few simple things you can do to keep your rotary vane compressor running at peak performance.
Here are some guidelines for daily and weekly maintenance inspections you should perform:
Check your oil
If your compressor is lubricated with oil, please make sure the oil level is consistent to avoid any problems:
Be sure to check the oil level before the machine cools down and starts up.
Remember, only use real oil, designed specifically for your compressor. Although non-specified, off-the-shelf engine oil may be a little cheaper, it is not suitable for your compressor and may cause damage to the internal working of the machine.
Check your filter
Compressors often have to work in dusty environments, which means that the air they suck in needs to be carefully filtered to avoid any dust entering the machine. Therefore, it is very important to check the pre-filter on the air inlet regularly.
If the filter starts to deteriorate or become clogged, call your service provider to request a replacement.
Check your condensation
When the air is compressed, the moisture in the air needs to be removed in a controlled way. This condensate needs to be able to drain away correctly to ensure that the air quality you get is the right job in your hands.
Regularly check whether the condensate drain pipe is working properly and whether the collection container is overloaded.
Check your efficiency
One of the biggest costs of owning a compressor is the energy to drive it. The good news is that there are many things you can do to make sure your machine runs efficiently.
A very simple trick is to turn off the compressor when you are not using it. In this way, it does not consume energy unnecessarily.
Many machines have an automatic stop/start function. If your compressor is not working, please contact your service provider.
Your compressor is likely to use a fixed-speed motor and will run at a constant speed regardless of the load on the machine. Communicate with your service provider and ask them to set parameters to run as economically as possible or request a system requirements profile called a data log.
Check your ventilation
The compressor works very hard. When the hot exhaust air is discharged into the atmosphere, the surrounding area becomes very hot.
Ensure that your compressor is always located in a well-ventilated area and avoid extreme temperatures
If this is not possible, you can consider installing some additional ventilation systems.
Must perform routine maintenance and scheduled time intervals-check all compressor parameters and replace any parts with genuine spare parts.
