High ambient temperature is the leading cause of summer air compressor trips. A few proactive steps keep the machine cool and running.
Improve Ventilation
Keep the compressor room ventilated and exhaust hot air away from the intake.
Keep Coolers Clean
Clean fins and heat exchangers more often in summer when dust and heat combine.
Check Oil and Filters
Verify oil level and quality, and replace filters before the hot season.
Monitor Temperature
Watch discharge temperature and investigate any rising trend before it trips.
