Excessive pressure inside the compressor may be caused by many causes. This article will introduce some common causes for high internal pressure in the compressor.
Key Takeaways
- Follow the documented startup and power-down sequence every time; shortcuts cause pressure shocks and wear.
- Keep the compressor room ventilated, clean, and free of combustible material.
- Train operators to recognize abnormal noise, vibration, and warning indicators before they escalate.
- Filter breakdown: The filter is an important part of the compressor. It can eliminate moisture, pollutants, etc. from the compressed air and safeguard the internal components of the compressor from damage. If the filter fails or is not replaced regularly, it will cause the filter to fail, causing the internal pressure of the compressor to raise.
- Carbon deposits inside the compressor: Over time, some carbon and dirt may accumulate inside the compressor. These carbon and dirt will block the internal channels of the compressor, causing the air to not flow smoothly, causing internal pressure. rise.
- Compressor valve problem: The regulating valves of the compressor include pressure switches, throttle valves, safety valves, etc. If these components are improperly adjusted or malfunctioned, it may cause the internal pressure of the compressor to be too high. For example, if the pressure valve is set too high, the working pressure of the compressor will be higher than the original pressure, the compressor will be overloaded, and the internal pressure of the compressor will raise.
- Compressor leakage: Air leakage inside the compressor is also a common cause of increased internal pressure. Air leakage may occur in pipes, valves, joints, etc. If there is too much air leakage, it will cause the internal pressure to raise.
To avoid the internal pressure of the compressor from being too high, the compressor needs to be inspected and maintained regularly to make it work properly. For example, regularly replace the filter, clean the carbon deposits and dirt inside the compressor, check and maintain the compressor regulating system, etc. Simultaneously, you also need to focus on regularly checking whether there are air leaks in pipes, valves and other components, and repair and replace them in time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check before starting a compressor?
Check oil level, condensate drains, inlet filters, belt tension, and that all safety guards are in place.
Why does the machine need to warm up or cool down?
Proper warm-up distributes lubricant, and a controlled shutdown lets the unit depressurize and cool evenly.
How much clearance does a compressor need around it?
Follow the manufacturer clearance for intake, exhaust, and service access, typically at least one meter around the unit.
