The reason for high temperature of air compressor
Cooling system failure
The cooling system is a critical part in controlling
the temperature of the air compressor. If the cooling is insufficient, it could be due to blockages in the cooling water pipeline, impurities in the water or scale deposits on the inner walls of the pipes, which imped the flow of water; a fault with the water pump can also lead to insufficient water pressure, unable to meet the cooling requirements. Additionally, severe scaling on the cooler, which reduces the efficiency of heat exchange, and the heat is unable to be effectively dissipated, can also cause the air compressor temperature to rise.
Lubation system problems
Appropriate lubrication is essential for the normal operation of the air compressor. Insufficient lubricating oil can intensify friction between components, generating large amount of heat. Lubricating oil quality degradation or incorrect model matching, which fails to form a good lubricating film, can also lead to increased friction heat generation, which can then trigger high temperatures in the air compressor.
Excessive load
When the air compressor operates under high load for an extended period, as exceeding its rated working pressure or flow, the compressor needs to consume more energy to compress air, which can cause a sharp rise in the body temperature. Additionally, fault in the gas-consuming equipment that causes an unstable gas consumption rate, with sudden spikes in gas usage, can also force the air compressor to operate overloaded, high temperature issues.
Poor heat dissipation
If the air compressor's working environment is not well ventilated, and heat cannot be expelled in time, will accumulate around the equipment, leading to a rise in the air compressor temperature. Also, if there is a fault with the air compressor's cooling fan, such blade damage or motor fault, it cannot effectively blow away the heat, which can also cause poor heat dissipation.
