During the summer, we met many customer questions about the compressor's sudden shutdown while working. This phenomenon makes users nervous and greatly affects the overall operation of the business. In the following article, we will point out the causes as well as how to fix the sudden compressor error so that users can do it themselves or call the repair address for timely technical staff handling.
1- Air compressor stopped suddenly due to high temperature
The installation of the engine room is not focused right from the beginning, the too closed engine room is one of the reasons causing the machine's temperature to rise. The reason is that air is not circulating, the next air intake cycle will regain the amount of gas that should have been released. This causes the compressor to heat up, exceeding the allowable temperature sensor, causing the compressor to stop working.
In addition, the high summer temperatures and the extremely high heat generated by industrial air compressors can also cause sudden stops.
How to fix:
- Check the air circulation in the engine room. For air compressor to operate smoothly, stabilize the room temperature best should be 30-40 degrees C.
- Install a cooling unit and air intake system for the work area.
2- Air compressor disconnects itself due to lubrication
The task of machine oil is to lubricate, cool and limit friction for machine equipment and engines. If a user uses an inappropriate lubricant or takes too long to replace it will reduce the efficiency and increase the possibility of friction, thereby making the compressor's temperature rise.
How to fix:
- Check the amount of lubricating oil. If there is a shortage, it is necessary to immediately replace or replace oil for the air compressor to ensure the amount of oil used and not too much dirt.
- Choose a suitable lubricant with a higher viscosity index, never use old oil mixed with new oil.
3- The cooling unit has a problem
The machine may suddenly stop due to clogged or broken heat exchangers that need to be inspected, repaired and replaced promptly.
How to fix:
- Clean the heat exchanger rinse to clean the dirty places.
- Plan or check, maintain machine parts periodically to ensure all machine parts operate smoothly, avoiding costly costs for users.
In addition, the compressor stopped suddenly due to a number of reasons such as worn bearings, broken oil regulating valve, clogged oil filter, operating temperature sensor flickering or broken. To overcome these phenomena, users need to quickly check and replace parts, promptly prevent the machine from stopping suddenly, affecting production.
