What Are The Five Main Parts of An Air Compressor?

What does an air compressor do in a car?

The air compressor is a device used to compress the gas. The air compressor is similar in structure to the water pump, providing air source power for the vehicle. Due to the change of the pressure in the cylinder, the air enters the cylinder through the air filter (muffler) through the intake valve. The directional valve (check valve) enters the air storage tank, and when the exhaust pressure reaches the rated pressure of 0.7MPa, it is controlled by the pressure switch and automatically shuts down. Air compressors are divided into piston air compressors and screw air compressors according to their working principles. Air compressor spare parts are mainly common and easily damaged parts. Different air compressor components correspond to different air compressors.

• Air filter: The air filter is a component that filters out air dust and dirt, and the filtered clean air enters the screw rotor compression chamber for compression. Due to the internal clearance of the screw machine, only particles within 15u are allowed to filter out. If the air filter element is clogged and damaged, a large number of particles larger than 15u will enter the inner shield ring of the screw machine, which will not only greatly shorten the service life of the oil filter element and the oil-fine separator, but also cause a large amount of particles to directly enter the bearing cavity, which will accelerate bearing wear and increase the rotor clearance. Large, the compression efficiency is reduced.
• Oil filter: After the new machine runs for 500 hours for the first time, the oil core should be replaced. Use a special wrench to reverse the oil filter to remove it. It is best to add screw oil before installing the new filter and change the oil core at the same time when changing the engine. When the environment is bad, the replacement cycle should be shortened.
  It is strictly forbidden to use the oil filter element beyond the time limit, otherwise, due to the serious clogging of the filter element, the pressure difference exceeds the limit of the bypass, and the bypass will automatically open, and a large amount of stolen goods and particles will directly enter the screw host with the oil, causing serious consequences. The replacement of the diesel engine oil filter element and the diesel filter element of the diesel-driven screw engine should follow the maintenance requirements of the diesel engine, and the replacement method is similar to that of the screw engine oil element.
• separator: The oil-air separator is a component that separates the screw lubricating oil from the compressed air. Under normal operation, the service life of the oil-air separator is about 300 hours, but the quality of the lubricating oil and the filtration accuracy of the air have a huge impact on its life. It can be seen that the maintenance and replacement cycle of the air filter element must be shortened in harsh operating environments, and even the installation of a front air filter must be considered. The oil and gas separator must be replaced when it expires or the pressure difference between the front and back exceeds 0.12Mpa. Otherwise, the motor will be overloaded, and the oil-air separator will be damaged and oil will leak out.
• Cylinder head kit and repair kit. The cylinder kit is mainly used to store the high-pressure air compressed by the air compressor. Mymro provides a complete range of oem cylinder head kit and repair kit.
• Allowing air in and out, draining water, and regulating airflow, valves are essential components that require regular inspection during regular inspections and regular maintenance. Our premium engineered valves are designed for resilience and long life.
