Is the oil temperature of the Rotary screw air compressor lower the better? No, it is not the lower the better. The oil temperature of the air compressor should be kept within a certain temperature range. Generally, it is best to control it at 80~90 °C. When the temperature is 40°C and higher than 90°C, the oil quality will change.
When the oil temperature is less than 40°C, the viscosity of the oil is too high, and the mechanical friction is hindered. At the same time, it is more serious that a large amount of carbon deposits are easily generated, and the carbon deposits may burn or explode under high temperature conditions. When the oil temperature is higher than 90 ℃, the oil quality is easy to be oxidized, the viscosity is reduced or deteriorated, the lubrication effect is not good, and the life of the air compressor is shortened.
Too low oil temperature: It mainly occurs in winter, and there are not many factors that cause the oil temperature to be too low, mainly because the temperature is too low or the viscosity of the air compressor lubricating oil itself is too high, the outlet pressure is low, and the number of open equipment is small, etc. Oil is not fully utilized.
If the oil temperature of the air compressor is too low, the sealing and heating and heat preservation of the air compressor station can be strengthened, and the flow of circulating water can be controlled, which can be appropriately reduced, so that the cooling effect of the oil cooler is reduced and the oil temperature is increased. Maintain the continuous operation of the air compressor, and naturally increase the oil temperature through mechanical friction.
Too high oil temperature: There are many factors that lead to too high oil temperature, mainly in summer, mainly due to high temperature, high outlet pressure, high temperature of circulating cooling water or blockage of cooler.
Take cooling measures, open the doors and windows of the air compressor station for ventilation, and reduce the temperature of the circulating water in the oil cooler. Keep the oil cooler unblocked, and deal with it in time if any blockage is found. Use high-quality air compressor oil, replace the oil immediately when it is found to be deteriorated, and replenish new oil in time when the oil is insufficient.
