Causes affecting service life of lubricating oil for air compressor

The reasons that affect the service life of atlas air compressor lubricating oil are as follows:

1. contamination by impurities: dust particles entering with the air or metal wear debris generated by friction inside atlas air compressor will pollute the lubricating oil of the air compressor, resulting in its failure, shortening the service life and accelerating the replacement cycle

2. air humidity: the moisture in the air enters the air compressor, and when mixed with the lubricating oil, the lubricating oil will deteriorate, affecting the service life of the lubricating oil.

3. irritant gas: when there are a large number of acid-base and irritant gases in the operating environment where atlas air compressor is located, these gases enter the compressor during operation, which will also affect the performance of lubricating oil and shorten the service life.

4. quality of lubricating oil: the quality of lubricating oil directly determines the service cycle of lubricating oil, so the quality of lubricating oil is very important. Because the replacement cycle of inferior lubricating oil is very short, and it will also cause harm to the air compressor, the high-quality and high-specification lubricating oil produced and inspected by regular manufacturers should be selected.
