What are the problems of emergency shutdown of air compressors?

Friends who know air compressors know that there is an emergency stop switch next to the operation panel of the screw air compressor. To put it bluntly, the emergency stop switch is mainly used to solve some sudden emergencies. When the air compressor is in a dangerous state, or a sudden failure occurs during production, in order to prevent more damage, it is necessary to stop and check in time.

We press and hold the emergency stop switch to turn off the power and stop the machine to protect people and equipment safety. If the following situations occur to the air compressor, press the emergency shutdown button to start emergency standby, find out the cause, and start it after the fault is detected.

overheat:

The air compressor may overheat during operation due to poor heat dissipation or failure of the cooling system. When the temperature exceeds the safe range, the air compressor may automatically shut down to prevent further damage or safety problems.

overload:

Overloading can occur when an air compressor is operated with a load exceeding its rated capacity. Overloading can be caused by excessive operating pressure, excessive flow demand, or mechanical failure. To protect the equipment and prevent damage, the air compressor may automatically shut down.

Abnormal pressure:

If the operating pressure of the air compressor exceeds the set range, an emergency shutdown may be triggered. For example, a pressure that is too high may create a risk of pipe rupture or other equipment failure, while a pressure that is too low may not provide the required gas supply.

Power failure:

Air compressors are usually dependent on electrical power supply, and if a power failure occurs, such as a blackout or abnormal voltage, the air compressor may shut down to avoid electrical problems or equipment damage.

Lubrication system problems:

The lubrication system of the air compressor is the key to keep the equipment running normally. If the lubrication system fails, such as low oil pressure or oil contamination, the compressor may shut down to prevent further damage.

Mechanical failure:

Various mechanical parts of your air compressor can fail, such as motor failure, transmission failure, or cylinder problems. These failures could result in an emergency shutdown to avoid further damage or a safety risk.

Abnormal noises from the air compressor, such as metal impact and loose joints, damage to cylinders, cylinder heads, screws and other parts;

Sudden abnormal temperature:

Water seepage in the air compressor station, or when an emergency occurs in the surrounding area. After shutting down, after the air compressor finishes working, the residual air in the system should be exhausted first, and the pressure should return to zero; after a period of shutdown, drain the condensed water in the gas barrel, oil cooler, and aftercooler. If it is severe winter, avoid Frozen damage in low temperature environment, and cause rust.
