The decrease in air quality produced by screw air compressors is mainly manifested in the increase of oil content in the compressed air and the increase of impurities such as dust. The former is one of the common phenomena of air compressor air quality degradation.

Consequences that the compressed air quality of screw air compressors are likely to cause:

As we all know, the product produced by an air compressor is compressed air. Whether it is used as power or as a source of air, the quality of compressed air is one of the issues that users care about. Therefore, once the quality of compressed air drops, it will not only cause the compressed air quality to fail to meet the standards and cause unusable use and damage the compression equipment, but also cause an explosion due to the high oil content in the air. Therefore, how to effectively improve the quality of compressed air by air compressors has been an important object of research for a long time.

How to improve the quality of compressed air in screw air compressors is precisely because of the above hazards, so people have always hoped that the higher the compressed air quality of the air compressor, the better.

At present, in order to improve the quality of compressed air, the following methods are commonly used:

1. Load air filtration equipment to achieve the goal of improving the quality of compressed air. For example, install air filters, oil and gas separators for screw air compressors.

2. Control the amount of lubricating oil. Because an excessive amount of lubricating oil can easily lead to an increase in the oil content in the compressed air, it is necessary to control its weight within a reasonable range, not too low or too high.

3. Check the check valve orifice, oil and gas separator, small pressure valve spring and other components to see if they are blocked or damaged. Once found that these components are not working properly, they must be dealt with.

4. Check the exhaust pressure. The exhaust pressure of the screw air compressor is too low, which will also cause the quality of compressed air to decrease. Therefore, we need to ensure that the unloading pressure setting of the air compressor is within a proper range.
