Question:

How long is the service life of an air compressor? Are there any uniform standards?

How long is the service life of an air compressor? Are there any uniform standards?

Answer:

Due to the design level, manufacturing quality, service environment, gas consumption and size, maintenance technology and management level is different, the air compressor of the same type, the service life will have great difference, and there is not a unified standard.The air compressor also has a problem of economic life and technical life. Technically, piston type air compressor is recommended for a period of ten years, but if the gas is large, or even twenty-four hours of operation, plus maintenance did not keep up, then perhaps within a few years of frequent failure, maintenance costs will be very high. For example, variable frequency twin-screw compressor, technically speaking, can not be bad for twenty years, but from an economic point of view, which manufacturers dare to promise you twenty years warranty.
Let's put it this way! Five years is a good period, that is to say at this stage no fault, five to ten years, some small problems do not affect the normal work, ten years after the luck to see you, this period usually bad to overhaul it is ready for a bar!
The air compressor is the base of product of modern industry, electrical and automation is often said that there is full pneumatic meaning; and the air compressor is to provide power source, pneumatic system is the core equipment of electromechanical drainage main source device, it is the prime mover (usually motor) into mechanical energy conversion device of gas pressure can, is the pressure of compressed air generator.
The service life of the air compressor is very long, and even if it is used all year round, the running parts of the air compressor will not appear obvious wear and tear. In particular, the screw head air compressor, with more than ten years, its screw will not have obvious wear and tear. But we have to pay attention. When the screw compressor is running twenty-five thousand hours to thirty thousand hours, to replace the new bearings.
