How will the cold temperatures affect your compressed air system？
Did you know that the ideal operating temperature for an air compressed is typically between 5°C and 30°C or 40°F and 90°F ? This means that the cold temperatures of winter can have a significant impact on your compressed air system, especially if the ambient temperatures in your compressor room fall below this range.
Low winter temperatures can cause both short- and long-term damage to your air compressor. A not uncommon example is a frozen condensate which can clog/rupture critical components within the larger compressed air generation system. Other components such as control lines, drain valves, compressed air filters and heat exchangers are also at risk of freezing and cracking.
Other potential risk include:
The compressor refuses to start: Is your air compressor not working in cold temperatures? This is probably because the compressor is equipped with a switch that prevents starting when the ambient temperature is too low.
The compressor oil becomes thicker: The colder the temperatures, the thicker the oil! The thicker the compressor oil, the lower the lubricity, which in turn means that more energy is required to run the air compressor.
The refrigeration dryer forms ice in the compressed air system: When the ambient temperature is low, there is a risk that the condensed water freezes in the system and forms an ice jam that prevents the air from being transported further in the system.
Reduced drying capacity in compressed air dryers: Wet incomming air can freeze in the compressed air dryer pipes and cause the tower switching valves to malfunction. The exhaust silencers of your compressed air generation system can also freeze, which would lead to a reduction in the purge air flow.
Corrosion of components: Because compressed air dryers are less efficient at colder temperatures, there is a greater likelihood of increased condensate forming throughout the compressed air production system. As time goes by and moisture levels continue to rise, the likelihood of internal components rusting and corroding increases.
