Tips on how to prepare your compressed air system for cold weather
The low temperature environment in winter can cause damage to air compressors. Are you still troubled by this? Today we will learn how to prepare your air compressor system for cold weather.
1、Warm up your compressor room: Keep the compressor room temperature above the minimum operating temperature. A small local heater can provide additional heat to prevent the temperature from falling below 5 °C (40°F).
2、Keep air compressor lines from freezing: If temperatures in your area are expected to drop below freezing, heat tape or other insulation can be applied to exposed pipes of your compressed air system. It prevents damage caused by ice jams.
3、Drain condensate: Condensate is a common occurrence in compressors. It builds up in the system and collects in low places, including air reservoirs. In winter, unaddressed condensate can freeze and burst pipes. It is therefore important that the system includes proper drainers, preferably automatic ones that release water when required. If automatic drain valves are missing, it may be a good idea to inspect the system a few times a week and drain any water that remains.
4、Check the oil: In the winter the air compressor oil should be monitored and regulated. Otherwise, the temperature of the oil may drop to a level that prevents it from lubricating or sealing the machinery.
5、Ensure required pressure dew point: Compressed air systems that work just fine in the hot summer months may prove to be substandard in the winter. For example, It could be that the air is sent from one point to another via lines that run outdoors. In that case, it can be enough to dry the air a little extra at certain points, but sometimes it may be that a completely different type of drying is required to maintain the quality of the air when the ambient temperature drops.
6、Regular maintenance: The best way to prepare your air compressor for cold weather is regular maintancance by an expert. Well-maintained plants are often the most energy efficient and suffer from less downtime than plants that don’t make maintenance a top priority.
