For the oil-lubricated type screw air compressor, we provide the daily, quarterly, and annual maintenance guide.
1. Daily maintenance
- Check the oil level, air filter, and coolant level;
- Check the consumable parts. if it has reached the replacement cycle, it must be stopped and replaced;
- Check the exhaust temperature of the host, if it reaches or approaches 98℃, the oil cooler must be cleaned;
- Check the pressure difference of the separator. if it reaches more than 0.6bar (limit 1bar) or the pressure difference starts to decline, stop the machine and replace the separation core;
- Check the discharge of condensed water. If the drainage volume is too small or no condensed water is discharged, the water separator must be shut down to clean;
- Check whether the unit has abnormal noise and leakage.
2. Quarterly maintenance (Level 1 maintenance)
- Clean the exterior: clean the outer surface of the unit and the cooler, and clean the bleed muffler;
- Check whether the exhaust temperature switch is malfunctioning;
- Check the oil filter element and oil separator element, and replace the worn parts;
- Check whether the lubricating oil has gone bad, and add grease to the bearings of the motor;

- Check the air filter element and oil filter element and replace if necessary;
- Change the lubricant;
- Check all hoses for cracking and aging;
- Check the electrical box and electrical control system;
- Check the performance of the whole machine.
Notes for long-term shutdown and restart of screw air compressor
- Replace lubricating oil, air filter, oil filter, oil-gas separator element;
- Check whether the circuit condition is ok;
- Check whether the air compressor parts contain water and dust;
- Check whether the air inlet and air outlet are blocked;
- Turn on the power and check whether the computer controller is ok;
Note: The best way is to ask the technical staff to do comprehensive commissioning. So the operation can be set to the best condition before using it.
