Problems in The Operation Of Air Compressors

1. Severe energy consumption during uninstallation operation
The load rate of air compressors in our country is around 66%, and they are in unloading operation for the rest of the time. For air compressors such as screw compressors that use traditional adjustment methods, the energy consumption under unloading operation is more than 20% of that under full load operation, and some air compressors even reach about 40%, accounting for 9-18% of the total energy consumption. The degree of waste is very serious.
2. Excessive starting current
The starting current of the air compressor can reach 5 to 7 times the rated current, which can easily cause instability in the power grid and even threaten the stable operation of electrical equipment, reducing the lifespan of the air compressor.
3. Low degree of automation
The regulation of traditional air compressors relies on controlling control valves and loading/unloading valves, which have disadvantages such as slow speed, unstable pressure, and low accuracy.
4. Large maintenance volume
Due to the high impact current on the equipment during the start-up of the air compressor, the motor is subjected to significant wear and tear, and the loading/unloading operation mode causes the components to repeatedly move, resulting in an accelerated aging rate of the components and a large workload of equipment maintenance.
5. High noise level
Continuous high-speed operation, overload operation, loading/unloading, etc. cause significant noise during the operation of the air compressor.
From the problems encountered during the operation of the air compressor, it can be found that improving the operational efficiency of the air compressor, reducing pressure losses caused by pipeline leaks, saving compressed gas consumption, improving operational reliability, and reducing energy consumption of the air compressor are of great significance.
