Relationship between temperature and compressor

Mar 17, 2020

We know from the law of conservation of energy that work and heat can be transformed into each other, and the increase in temperature throughout the air compressor is converted from mechanical friction work and compression work

1. The temperature of the inhaled gas is too high, which will reduce the amount of exhaust;

2. Excessively high gas temperature during compression will increase power consumption and reduce productivity;

3. If the temperature of the cylinder is too high, it will cause the gas and the lubricating oil in the piston ring to become coke, lose the lubricating effect, and there is a danger of explosion when touching the spark. At the same time, the piston ring and the gas and packing will work poorly and increase wear. , Poor seal;

4. Excessive temperature will burn out the bearing, and the bearing will not even continue to run;

5. Overheating of other parts will reduce the mechanical strength or even deform;

6. If the temperature of the lubricating oil is too high, it will reduce the viscosity of the oil and reduce the oil pressure to affect the lubrication performance;

7. If the temperature of the cooling water is too high, the cooling effect will be reduced;

8. If the temperature of the motor or internal combustion engine is too high, there will be a risk of burning.

However, the temperature should not be too low, if the cooling water temperature is below 0 degrees, it will freeze and affect the circulation of the cooling water, or even freeze the machine. If the temperature of the lubricating oil is too low, the viscosity of the oil will be too great to prevent lubrication. If the temperature is too low, the internal combustion engine is not easy to start, etc. Therefore, we judge whether the compressor works normally from the temperature change, and control the temperature of each place within the specified range to maintain the normal operation of the equipment. This is an important link that air compressor operators should master.
