Excessive temperatures in screw air compressors can lead to serious consequences, including:
1. Equipment Damage
Lubricant Deterioration – High temperatures accelerate oxidation, reducing lubrication and cooling efficiency.
Seal Aging – Heat speeds up the degradation of rubber seals, leading to air or oil leaks.
Bearing Wear – Overheating increases friction, causing bearings to wear out faster.
Rotor Jamming – Thermal expansion can lead to rotor blockage or seizure.
2. Production Interruptions
Unexpected Shutdowns – Many compressors have built-in high-temperature protection that causes automatic shutdowns.
Long Maintenance Delays – Cooling and repairing high-temperature faults wastes valuable production time.
3. Safety Risks
Fire Hazards – Overheated oil can ignite, leading to fire risks.
Explosion Risk – Compressed air and lubricant vapors may cause dangerous explosions.
4. Increased Energy Consumption
Reduced Efficiency – High temperatures lower the compressor’s efficiency, increasing energy costs.
Cooling System Overload – The compressor’s cooling system works harder, consuming extra energy.
