Winter Management of Air Compressor Stations: 5 Key Points to Eliminate "Low-Temperature Failures" and Ensure Production:
2025,12,15
The core of winter management for air compressor stations is to implement five key measures—anti-freezing and heat preservation, lubricating oil adaptation, drainage operation and maintenance, inspection and maintenance, and emergency preparedness—to eliminate low-temperature failures and ensure stable equipment operation:
1. Anti-freezing and heat preservation: Conduct insulation (thickness ≥ 50mm) on key parts such as outdoor pipelines and the bottom of air receivers using flame-retardant rock wool or polyurethane; wrap exposed small pipes with explosion-proof heating cables; control the room temperature of the machine room at ≥ 5℃ in frigid regions.
2. Lubricating oil management: Replace with winter-specific lubricating oil of viscosity grade 32 or 46; check oil quality weekly and test oil viscosity monthly, replacing it promptly if abnormal.
3. Drainage operation and maintenance: Perform manual drainage at least twice per shift (each time ≥ 10 seconds); inspect automatic drain valves daily and clean drainage pipelines weekly.
4. Inspection and maintenance: Monitor temperature and pressure hourly (discharge temperature ≥ 70℃); check the electrical system daily and promptly troubleshoot abnormal equipment noises.
5. Emergency preparedness: Formulate disposal procedures for failures such as pipeline freezing and equipment shutdown; stock up on emergency supplies including explosion-proof heating cables.
