When do you need to replace the air filter
The replacement time of the air filter element is determined according to the design life of the air filter element and the air quality around the air compressor. Therefore, the air filter element needs to be replaced in the following two situations:
1. Replace it after the actual use time reaches the design life time. The designed service life of the air filter is usually 2000 hours, and it should be replaced after expiration. If the air compressor has a poor environmental condition, the service time should be shortened.
2. Replace it immediately after the blockage alarm within the designed service life. The set value of the air filter blockage alarm is usually -0.05bar.
Hazards of air compressor air filter overtime use
1. The exhaust volume of the unit is insufficient, which affects the production;
2. The piezoresistance of the filter element is too large, the load of the unit increases, and the life of the main engine is reduced;
3. The actual compression ratio of the unit increases, the load of the main engine increases, and the life of the main engine decreases;
4. The damage of the filter element causes foreign matter to enter the host, and the host locks or even scraps.
