There is no water in the air compressor to drain

When water cannot be discharged from the air compressor, the possible reasons and solutions are as follows:

Possible causes

  1. The humidity in the air is too high:
    • The air always contains a certain amount of moisture, that is, humidity. When the air is compressed, these moisture will reach a supersaturation state and precipitate into liquid. If the environment in the computer room is too humid, the water content in the air will exceed the usage standards, resulting in water accumulation in the air compressor.
  2. Automatic drainer clogged:
    • Air compressors are usually equipped with automatic drainers for draining condensate. If the automatic drain is blocked, the condensate cannot be discharged normally, thus accumulating inside the air compressor.
  3. Drying equipment failure:
    • If the corresponding dryer is not installed, or the dryer fails and is not treated in time, the compressed gas of the air compressor may contain a large amount of moisture. After these moisture condenses inside the air compressor, it will also cause water accumulation.
  4. Inadequate post-mounting measures:
    • In production processes that strictly require the quality of compressor gas, precision filters and other facilities are usually required to be equipped to purify the gas. If the rear-mounting measures are insufficient, even if the air compressor itself can discharge part of the condensate water, it cannot guarantee the absolute dryness of the gas.

Solutions

  1. Reduce the humidity in the computer room:
    • Reduce the humidity in the computer room by using dehumidifiers, strengthening ventilation and other measures, thereby reducing the water content in the air.
  2. Cleaning the automatic drain:
    • Check and clean the automatic drain regularly to ensure it is unobstructed. If the automatic drain is damaged or aging, it should be replaced in time.
  3. Inspect and maintain drying equipment:
    • Check the working status of the drying equipment regularly to ensure its normal operation. If the drying equipment is found to have malfunctions or the effect is reduced, repair or replacement should be carried out in time.
  4. Add a post-purification facility:
    • If the production process requires high quality of compressor gas, a post-purification facility such as precision filters can be added to perform secondary purification of the gas.
  5. Manual drainage:
    • OnlyIf the dynamic drain is blocked or failed, the drain valve can be opened manually for drainage. However, it should be noted that manual drainage should be carried out regularly to avoid excessive accumulation of water and causing damage to the air compressor.

Precautions

  • Before performing any repair or replacement, be sure to turn off the power of the air compressor first and ensure that the internal pressure of the equipment has been released to ensure personal safety.
  • When cleaning the automatic drain or replacing the drying equipment, professional tools and materials should be used and operated according to the equipment instructions to avoid secondary damage to the equipment.

Through the above measures, the problem of water in the air compressor cannot be discharged can be effectively solved, ensuring the normal operation of the air compressor and the drying and clean gas.

Is there any oil-free air compressor opportunity?

When the oil-free air compressor is designed and manufactured, no lubricating oil is used in its compression chamber, so theoretically the oil will not come into direct contact with the compressed air during the compression process. However, this does not mean that the compressed air produced by the oil-free air compressor is completely oil-free. In […]
