How to do a good job in preventing wind and rain in the air compressor room?
Code for Wind and Rain Protection in Air Compressor Rooms
In order to ensure the stable operation of the water-lubricated single screw air compressor system, protective measures need to be implemented from three aspects: machine room protection, equipment maintenance, and environmental management:
1. Building structure protection
- Regularly check the tightness of the wall of the machine room, focusing on checking the joints of doors and windows, holes in through-wall pipelines and other parts that are prone to water seepage, and use waterproof rubber strips or sealants to block them.
- The roof drainage system is cleaned quarterly to ensure that the drainage ditch is smooth and unobstructed. The sloping roof needs to maintain a drainage slope of more than 3°.
- Stainless steel rain covers are installed at the vents, and reverse louvers are installed on the exhaust fan to prevent strong winds from flowing back.
2. Equipment protection measures
- The equipment foundation should be 30cm above the ground. It is recommended to use a concrete pedestal and set up drainage ditches to surround it.
- The control cabinet is equipped with waterproof baffles, the cable threading pipes are sealed with waterproof joints, and the connection terminals are equipped with moisture-proof boxes.
- A dual-stage filter device is installed at the water inlet of the water lubrication system to regularly test the PH value of the water quality to prevent acidic rainwater from corroding the star wheel plates.
3. Environmental monitoring mechanism
- Equipped with a temperature and humidity sensor to automatically start the dehumidification equipment when the relative humidity is greater than 85%.
- During the heavy rain season, the water on the top of the machine room is inspected every day. During the typhoon warning period, unnecessary doors and windows are closed and vulnerable parts are reinforced.
- Establish an emergency plan, equip sandbags, tarps and other materials, and cover the surface of equipment in extreme weather.
4. Maintenance standards
- Check the wear of star wheel plates quarterly to clean up scale and impurities to ensure the quality of water film formation.
- Complete the replacement of all seals before the rainy season, focusing on checking age-prone parts such as shaft seals and O-rings.
- Test the emergency stop button function monthly to ensure that power can be quickly cut off when a heavy rain causes a power outage.
Through systematic protection, the service life of equipment can be effectively extended and the stability of compressed air supply can be ensured. It is recommended to establish a protection work ledger and retain image records after each inspection to form a traceability management system.
