How to Handle Insufficient Air Supply During Air Compressor Maintenance

How to Address Insufficient Air Supply During Air Compressor Maintenance? Customers often inquire about the issue of insufficient pressure in screw air compressors, which stems from two main factors: inadequate air production and increased air consumption.
Causes of Inadequate Air Production:
- First, measure the time it takes for the air compressor to produce and store air in the air receiver tank. If the duration is excessively long, it indicates inadequate air production.
- Check if the air filter is clogged. Regularly clean the air filter and replace it frequently if the operating environment is poor.
- Inspect the pressure transmitter or pressure controller. You can close the valve behind the air receiver tank or inflate it during shutdown to check if the compressor loads and unloads normally within the set pressure range.
- Verify if the intake valve is fully open. Check whether the intake valve is fully open and if any adjustments are needed.
- Examine the main unit. Assess the air supply efficiency of the main unit by closing the valve behind the air receiver tank and inflating it. Record the time from loading to unloading and calculate the results based on the volume of the air receiver tank and the air supply capacity indicated on the air compressor's label.
Causes of Increased Air Consumption:
- Inspect the pipelines. Carefully examine all pipelines or equipment from the manufacturer for any leaks.
- Distance. If the air compressor is located far from the equipment, consider installing an air receiver tank near the machinery.
- [The original text repeats "Causes of increased air consumption" here; I assume you want the third point to be elaborated on, but since it's not provided, I'll offer a general continuation.] Other potential reasons for increased air consumption could include additional equipment being added to the system, changes in production processes requiring more compressed air, or inefficient use of compressed air within the system. [Alternatively, if you just want a direct translation of the repeated heading, it would be: "3. Reasons for increased air consumption."]
