How to solve the problem of water blowing in air compressor

When the air blown by the air compressor contains moisture, the following measures can be taken to solve this problem:

1. Check and maintain the drainage system

  1. Installing the drainage valve:
    • Installing the drainage valve at the bottom of the air compressor’s gas tank and regularly discharge condensate. This is a basic measure to prevent liquid water from accumulating in the system.
  2. Cleaning the drain:
    • If the automatic drainer or automatic drain of the gas storage tank that comes with the air compressor is blocked, the moisture will not be discharged. Therefore, these drains should be inspected and cleaned regularly to ensure they are unobstructed.
  3. Adjust the drainage frequency:
    • When the air humidity changes greatly, the drainage frequency and time of the timing drainage valve should be adjusted according to the actual situation to ensure that the accumulated water can be drained every time the compressed air is not discharged.

2. Enhance the drying effect

  1. Installing a dryer:
    • If the dryer is not installed in the system, consider installing a cold dryer or adsorption dryer to further reduce the water content in the compressed air.
  2. Check the dryer status:
    • For systems that have already installed the dryer, their working status should be checked regularly to ensure that they operate normally and achieve the expected drying effect. For adsorption dryers, ensure that the adsorbent materials (such as activated alumina) are filled closely to avoid powdering causing dryer failure.

3. Improve the compression process

  1. Cleaning the heat dissipation fins:
    • The moisture content in the compressed air is closely related to the cooling effect during the compression process. If the heat dissipation fins are blocked by dust, etc., it will affect the cooling effect of the compressed air and thus increase the moisture content. Therefore, the heat dissipation fins should be cleaned regularly to ensure that their heat dissipation effect is good.
  2. Adjust the compression parameters:
    • Adjust the compression parameters, such as pressure, temperature, etc., according to the specific use environment and working conditions (such as the humidity of the inhaled air, the outlet temperature of the air compressor, etc.), appropriately adjust the compression parameters, such as pressure, temperature, etc., to optimize the compression process and reduce moisture generation.

IV. Strengthen follow-up processing

  1. Use filteringDevice:
    • In the subsequent treatment of compressed air, filters and other equipment can be used to further remove moisture and impurities in the air. Choosing efficient filters and replacing filters regularly can improve filtration and ensure air quality.
  2. Regular inspection and maintenance:
    • Regularly conduct comprehensive inspection and maintenance of compressed air systems, including checking the working status of pipe systems, filters, dryers and other components, promptly discovering and handling problems, ensuring the stable operation of the system and meeting production requirements.

5. Other precautions

  1. Inspect the oil separator:
    • Registration and replacement of key components such as the oil separator core, rear oil removal filter element, etc. to ensure that the air compressor oil and gas separation is thorough and the rear oil removal filter is good.
  2. Use dew point meter to detect:
    • You can use dew point meter and other detection equipment to regularly detect the moisture content in compressed air so that treatment measures can be adjusted in a timely manner.

Through the implementation of the above measures, the water content in compressed air can be effectively reduced, the air quality can be improved, and the production process can be ensured smoothly.
