What Happens When The Three Filters And One Oil Air Compressor Expires

The "three filters and one oil" of the air compressor has a prescribed period of use, which is usually replaced after 2000 hours of use

Air filter

The air filter is an important protective barrier for air compressors. It can filter out the dust and particulate impurities in the intake air. The cleaner the intake air, the more guaranteed the performance and service life of the oil filter, oil-gas separator, lubricating oil and host. Excessive use will increase the actual compression ratio of the unit, increase the load of the main unit, and shorten the life; excessive air filtration resistance will increase the energy consumption of the unit; insufficient exhaust volume will affect the production; the filter element is damaged, and foreign objects enter the main unit A malfunction that causes the machine head to lock up or even be scrapped.

Oil filter

The oil filter mainly filters out particles and impurities in the lubricating oil of the air compressor to ensure the cleanliness of the oil circulation system and the safe operation of the air compressor system. Excessive use will lead to insufficient lubrication of the host, shortening the life of the host; insufficient oil return, resulting in excessive exhaust temperature, shortening the life of the lubricant. The filter element is damaged, and unfiltered air compressor lubricating oil enters the main unit, causing damage to the main unit.

Oil filter

The main function of the oil and gas separator is to separate the oil in the compressed air to ensure the quality of the compressed air. The oil content of the compressed air produced after the overdue use increases, which affects the operation of the back-end purification equipment and the normal operation of the gas-using equipment, which affects the quality of the product. It will also cause the failure of the host; after the failure, the glass fiber falls off into the lubricating oil, which shortens the life of the oil filter and accelerates the wear of the host.

Lubricating oil

Air compressor lubricating oil is mainly used for lubrication, cooling, sealing, cleaning, and noise reduction. Continued operation without oil change will cause the machine to shut down due to high temperature alarm; the lubricating effect will deteriorate and the wear of the main engine will be accelerated; the quality of the lubricating oil will change and coking and carbon deposits will occur inside the main engine; it will directly affect the service life of the air compressor.
