What is the function of the check valve on the air compressor?

Answer:

It can cause damage to the compressor (usually called liquid hammer). Also, the exit may be frosted by returning air.
Check valve is also called one-way valve, air will not go in only, can protect the air compressor host, if the air compressor main machine does not stop, you can not check valveIf it starts frequently, it must be loadedCheck valve bad consequences: motor overload, burn the host top off
Check valve to prevent backflow of gas compressor back to the machine in a series of problems, as followsA gas flow will lead to failure, load startup, startup process if the machine internal high pressure will cause the motor overload start, starting current of the motor will be too high, at the same time, the impact of transmission components is also very large, generally good machine will be some type of protection.Two, multiple units of the system may make the tank filled with water, resulting in the unit can not start properly.Three, because of the shutdown state, most of the air compressor unloading valve is open, so if the gas flow back, but also cause energy losses.
