Eight precautions during the use of air compressors

As a power equipment, air compressors play an important role in industrial production and accelerate the technological process of the air compression and drying industry. Since air compressors need to work for a long time without stopping (24 hours a day), what should we pay attention to when using air compressors? Let's take a look at the sharing of Jianlong Hydraulic Technology Editor for reference!

1. When moving: The air compressor should be moved or hoisted under safe conditions.

2. When in use: The air compressor requires reliable grounding when in use, and the high-voltage electrical equipment must be operated in strict accordance with the relevant voltage and electrical regulations.

3. When starting or changing the power supply for the first time: When the air compressor is started for the first time or the power cord changes the phase sequence, it is necessary to confirm the direction of the motor. It must be ensured that the motor direction is correct before the unit can start and run.

4. Emergency stop button: The emergency stop button is used to stop the unit in the event of an abnormality. Do not use this button for normal shutdown.

5. Remote control: When the air compressor is under remote control, the machine may start at any time, and a sign should be posted to remind you.

6. Exhaust temperature: When the air compressor is working, its exhaust temperature may reach about 100℃. The temperature of some parts is very high. Please do not touch these parts with your hands to avoid burns.

7. Abnormal handling: The air compressor operator is responsible for ensuring that the machine operates under safe conditions. If the machine is observed to have unsafe hidden dangers or abnormal phenomena, it should be stopped for inspection in time until the air compressor returns to normal.

8. Repair and maintenance: The repair and maintenance of the air compressor must be carried out by qualified professionals or under their guidance. Before performing any maintenance, repair work or adjustment work, please follow the steps below:

8.1 Stop the compressor and cool the unit.

8.2 Close the compressor outlet exhaust valve and safely relieve the compressor air system to zero pressure.

8.3 Press the emergency stop button

8.4 Turn off the power
