In general, the environment does not have a great impact on the compressor, but if one of the two identical compressors is placed in an ideal environment and the other one is placed in a harsher environment, a big difference will be found after a period of time, and the former is far better than the latter in terms of compressed air quality, work efficiency and maintenance cycle. Therefore, if conditions permit, we recommend that the compressor room be set up in an area with a better environment.

01

Temperature and humidity

Temperature: In general, the higher the temperature, the lower the exhaust volume of the air compressor and the more difficult it is to control the exhaust temperature. Therefore, the ideal working environment temperature application is below 40 degrees Celsius. However, it should not be too low, because it is easy to cause condensate to freeze if the temperature is below 0℃.

Humidity: The higher the air humidity, the higher the water content in the air, and the higher the working pressure of the air compressor. Therefore a good working environment must have low air humidity.

02

Light and air quality

Light: The air compressor room must be wide and well-lit, so that it is easy to operate and maintain

 

Air quality: Air quality has a great impact on air compressors, which not only affects the quality of compressed air, but also affects the efficiency of air compressors, the service life of accessories and lubricants, etc.

 

03
Cooling water and ventilation
Cooling water: The quality of cooling water should be good. For air compressor, the quality of cooling water (such as acidity, alkalinity, hardness, etc.) will also seriously affect its cooling effect, thus affecting the efficiency of air compressor.

Ventilation: For air-cooled air compressors, good ventilation is very important, and good ventilation is beneficial to the work of the cooling system.
