The main function of the oil filter in the air compressor system is to filter out the metal particles and impurities in the air compressor lubricating oil, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the oil circulation system and the normal operation of the equipment.
Oil filter replacement standard:
1. The design life of the filter element of the oil filter is usually 2000 hours. It must be replaced after expiration. Secondly, the oil filter has not been replaced for a long time, and external conditions such as overload conditions may cause damage to the filter element. If the environment around the air compressor room is poor, shorten the replacement time. When replacing the oil filter, follow each step in the user manual.
2. When the oil filter is blocked, it should be replaced in time. The oil filter block alarm setting value is usually 1.0-1.4bar.
The harm of air compressor oil filter timeout:
1. Insufficient oil return after plugging leads to high exhaust temperature, shortening the service life of oil and oil separation core;
2. Insufficient oil return after plugging leads to insufficient lubrication of the main engine, shortening the service life of the main engine;
3. After the filter element is damaged, unfiltered oil containing a large number of metal particles and impurities enters the main engine, causing serious damage to the main engine.
