Is the greater the pressure of the air compressor better?

The pressure of the air compressor is not as high as possible.

The pressure selection of air compressors (abbreviated as air compressors) should be determined based on actual use scenarios and requirements. Excessive pressure can lead to the following problems:

  1. Increased energy consumption:
    • Air pressure is proportional to power consumption. The higher the pressure, the greater the load on the air compressor, and the corresponding current will also increase, resulting in an increase in energy consumption.
  2. Increased equipment loss:
    • Excessive pressure will cause excessive pressure to the equipment, resulting in damage to bearings, gears and other accessories, reducing the service life of the equipment.
    • High voltage can cause equipment to be overloaded and even cause safety accidents.
  3. Used poor use:
    • For some applications, excessive pressure may not be applicable, and will instead affect production efficiency and product quality.
  4. Safety hazards:
    • Excessive pressure may pose a safety hazard to the equipment and operators.

So, when selecting the pressure of the air compressor, the following factors should be considered:

  1. User requirements:
    • Determine the appropriate pressure range based on actual needs in the production process. For example, some applications may only require lower pressure to meet production needs.
  2. Equipment Specifications:
    • Refer to the technical specifications and instructions for use of the air compressor and select a pressure range that meets the requirements of the equipment.
  3. Energy-efficiency ratio:
    • While meeting process needs, try to choose an air compressor with a high energy efficiency ratio to reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
  4. Stability and Safety:
    • Ensure the pressure output of the air compressor is stable and avoid excessive pressure fluctuations affecting production efficiency and product quality. At the same time, we must ensure the safety of the equipment operation.

In general, the pressure selection of air compressors should be determined based on actual use scenarios and needs, rather than blindly pursuing excessive pressure. By rationally selecting the pressure range, energy consumption can be reduced, equipment life can be extended, and life can be improved.Productivity and product quality, and ensure safe operation of equipment.
