After the Ingersoll Rand air compressor has been working for a period of time, we need to clean the air compressor parts. This is also a way of air compressor maintenance, because the air compressor will produce some dirt during the working process. Cleaning these garbage materials in time will not only affect production efficiency, but also cause certain damage to air compressor accessories. We must understand how to clean Ingersoll Rand air compressor accessories.

Why clean the air compressor accessories?

Because the temperature of the working environment of the air compressor increases, the temperature of the general air compressor reaches above 90 degrees, and some even reaches more than 100 degrees; long-term high temperature operation will affect the normal service life of the machine and shorten the air compressor oil The service life and high-pressure tubing will age faster.

The air compressor has been used for a long time, and there will be grease, carbon deposits and other substances in the parts of the air compressor. Especially the radiator, the lower part of the oil and gas barrel, the screw and other parts; air compressors that have used different brands of engine oil will also have vinyl objects similar to asphalt.

How to clean air compressor accessories

1. For mechanical cleaning, use steel brushes, sandpaper or nylon rollers containing abrasives to clean the surface of the compressor parts by erasing the metal. This method of use is more common in aluminum box parts.

2. Solvent wiping, wiping with absorbent material dipped in solvent. Therefore, non-flammable solvents should be used. In addition, commonly used solvents are petroleum and chlorinated solvents. Many solvents are flammable and can easily cause fires.

3. Emulsion cleaning, emulsion cleaning uses organic solvents in suspended water. Effectively remove grease and other dirt. Therefore, there is a risk of fire, and a thin anti-rust oil film will be left on the surface of the metal. Because of the solvent used in this cleaning method. Disposal of waste solvents should be done with care.

4. Semi-water wash, then rinse in water. Commonly used solvents are terpenes, esters and hydrocarbons.

5. Alkaline washing aluminum box, accessories alkali metal salt (caustic alkali, silicate and carbonate) and the appearance activator prepared according to the appropriate ratio are mixed for use. Dissolve it with hot water and spray it on the dirty compressor parts. Generally, most of the dirt on the metal surface can be removed. The cost is quite low. It is a suitable method for batch automatic cleaning.

6. Pickling, usually using inorganic acid. Organic acids can also be used to achieve the purpose of derusting and descaling. By adding a wetting agent to the acid water aluminum box fitting solution.

7. Vapor degreasing, chlorinated solvent or freon for vapor degreasing. That is, there is no need to rinse and blow dry, and it is only used for oil removal. Its main advantage is to achieve degreasing and drying effects in one step. Can be automated. However, the cost is high, and the escaped solvent is a harmful substance that seriously affects human health and destroys the ozone layer.

8. Cleaning of coke deposits, coke deposits are usually mechanically cleaned. Choose different tools. Commonly used tools for aluminum box accessories are shovel, scraper, copper wire brush, copper and aluminum metal sheet and sandpaper. For compressor parts with a smooth surface such as aluminum-copper alloy, it is based on the material of the machine parts and the appearance and quality requirements of the compressor parts. Care should be taken not to leave scratches, because scratches will make carbon deposits more likely to adhere and accumulate.
