The filter elements of an air compressor include air filter, oil filter, and oil separator, each of which plays its own role and plays a different role. Failure of any filter element can cause problems in the operation of the air compressor. Today, we will talk about these three filter elements of an air compressor.
The air and oil filter elements of the air compressor are both made of high-precision filter paper, and their service life is generally around 2000 hours. The filter element must be replaced as soon as it expires to avoid damage to the host.
The air filter element of the air compressor is mainly used to filter the dust sucked into the air and prevent foreign objects from entering the host.
The air filter element should be replaced as soon as it reaches its service life to avoid situations such as insufficient exhaust volume and high unit load, which may cause damage to the host.
The oil filter element of the air compressor is mainly used to filter metal particles and other impurities in the specialized oil of the main engine, ensuring the cleanliness of the oil quality.
If the oil filter element is not replaced in a timely manner after reaching its service life, it can cause serious blockage, resulting in insufficient oil return and high exhaust temperature. The main engine may also shorten its service life due to insufficient lubrication.
The oil separation core of the air compressor is made of high-precision fiberglass, with a general service life of around 4000-8000 hours. It also needs to be replaced promptly upon expiration.
If the oil gas separation core is not replaced in a timely manner after its expiration, it can easily lead to an increase in fuel consumption and oil content in compressed air, which brings a heavy burden to subsequent purification equipment and affects the normal operation of the system.
The filter element of an air compressor is an important protective umbrella, and daily inspection work is essential. When the filter element reaches its service life, it must be discovered and replaced in a timely manner to ensure the normal operation of the air compressor.
