Common Troubleshooting of Mixing Plant--Air Compressor(2)

May 31, 2022 Leave a message

Fault: Air Leak

Reason: The one-way valve is defective,

      Air leakage from safety valve

      safety valve open

      loose pipe or hose connection

 

Measures: When there is pressure in the air storage tank and the compressor stops rotating, the defective check valve will cause continuous air leakage. If the valve leaks, it must be replaced;

          Manually pull up the relief valve poppet and replace if the valve is still leaking

          If the pressure switch is normal, the safety valve is defective and must be replaced

          Tighten the leaking connections and check with soapy water under pressure. (don't be too tight)

 

Fault: Motor does not run

Reason: The pressure switch button is in the 0FF position

      Starter overload protection switch tripped

      Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker

      Wiring error

      Air pressure exceeds

      Opening pressure of the pressure switch

      loose electrical connection

      Motor failure

 

Action: Put the button in the ON position

     Let the starter cool and press the reset button

     Check for blown fuses. Replace or reset circuit breakers as needed. Do not use fuses or circuit breakers higher than the Tin Fan standard.

     Check if the wiring is correct, refer to the recommended wire type.

   When the air tank pressure drops below the starting pressure of the air switch, the air compressor motor automatically starts

     Check wiring

     Unless there is obvious damage to the motor, remove the motor and send it to the local motor manufacturer's service center for inspection. Replace if necessary

 

 

Fault: Exhaust pressure too low

Cause: Airflow is restricted at the air intake

    Damaged cylinder head gasket

    Broken valve

    Damaged or worn piston rings

    The v-belt is too loose

    Air leak

    Excessive use of compressed air

 

Action: Clean or replace the air intake filter

     Replace with new cylinder head gasket

     Replace the new valve plate and gasket

     Replace with new piston rings

     Adjust belt tension if needed

    Check and solve according to the phenomenon of air leakage

    Reduce compressed air consumption, air compressor capacity is insufficient relative to air demand
