Protective Measures for Compressed Air Pipework in Summer

The protection measures for compressed air piping system under high temperature conditions in summer can be summarised as follows:

1. Strict oil temperature control and oil piping system maintenance: Closely monitor and ensure that the oil temperature does not exceed 110°C when the air compressor is in operation, in order to prevent over-temperature triggering of the protection mechanism leading to shutdown. At the same time, the oil circuit system should be inspected carefully on a regular basis to clear any possible blockages and ensure that the oil flow is unobstructed.

2. Keep the cooling system clean and ventilation assistance: In the high temperature season, make sure to keep the cooling system of the air compressor clean and enhance its ventilation effect. Promote air circulation through the auxiliary ventilation system to effectively improve heat dissipation and prevent overheating.

3. Follow the design and maintenance norms: The system design should strictly follow the relevant national standards and norms to ensure the safety and reliability of the air compressor and its ancillary equipment (such as tanks and pipelines). In particular, large air compressors should be installed with dry filters at the front end to purify the intake air.

4. Solve the drainage and maintenance problems in time: regularly check whether the system drain is unobstructed, to avoid the accumulation of water affecting the performance of the equipment. At the same time, check and replace worn weather stripping to ensure good sealing of the machine room.

5. Optimise the ventilation environment: create good ventilation conditions for the air compressor to ensure air circulation in the machine room and maintain a slight positive pressure. Through the reasonable installation of blinds, fans and other ventilation equipment, effectively reduce the temperature of the machine room, extend the service life of the lubricant, and improve the operating efficiency of the air compressor.

6. Reasonable selection of piping material and pipe diameter: According to the working pressure and media characteristics of the system, carefully select the material and pipe diameter of the compressed air piping to ensure the efficiency and safety of transport.

7. Strengthen the heat dissipation capacity of the machine room: through expanding the space of the machine room, installing more exhaust fans and exhaust ducts and other measures to strengthen the heat dissipation capacity of the machine room, and discharging the hot air efficiently to reduce the temperature of the machine room, and to ensure the stable operation of the equipment in a suitable environment.
