Why should we pay attention to maintaining air compressors in winter?

1. Extend the service life of equipment

By conducting targeted maintenance (such as changing winter lubricating oil and strengthening anti-freezing measures), the corrosion and wear of mechanical components (rotors, bearings, seals) caused by low temperatures can be reduced.

Regular drainage for anti-freezing can prevent the expansion of condensate water due to freezing, which may cause structural damage to gas storage tanks, dryers, etc.

2. Ensure safe production

Prevent safety valve failure or pressure vessel malfunction caused by ice blockage in the gas line, and eliminate potential explosion risks.Ensure the reliable operation of the electrical system and avoid potential safety hazards such as leakage and short circuit.

3. Maintain energy efficiency and reduce costs

Optimize lubrication and thermal management to reduce energy loss caused by low temperatures.The cost of preventive maintenance is far lower than the cost of fault repair and production suspension losses, with a significant return on investment.

4. Adapt to environmental and compliance requirements

In extremely cold regions, winter maintenance is a necessary measure for equipment to adapt to extreme climates and complies with the environmental usage specifications of the equipment manufacturer. Some industries (such as chemical engineering and energy) have strict standards for the stability of compressed air systems. Winter maintenance is the foundation for compliant operation.

List of daily inspections for air compressors in cold day：

✅ Check the ambient temperature of the machine room.

✅ Listen to the working sound of the automatic drain valve and confirm that it is functioning properly.

✅ Manually drain the condensate water from the air storage tank and other areas.

✅ Check the oil level and color.

✅ Observe whether there are any signs of ice formation or leakage in the pipes and valves.

✅ Record the operating parameters, especially the temperature variations.
