How to select the portable air compressor

1. Model selection will be based on actual air use requirement

Combining the needs of customers, finding the best operating economy, and expanding the scale in the future will require a lot of decisions. The basis of the decision is the purpose or use process of compressed air. It focuses on calculating the air demand, reserves and room for future expansion. Pressure and flow are both decisive factors and have a great impact on energy consumption. Different pressure ranges and different The flow conditions of different compressors may sometimes be economical.

Commonly used international standards for selection are: AP, AP, AP, AP, AP, AP.

2. Calculation of work pressure

The equipment that compresses the gas determines the necessary working pressure depends on the compressor, equipment, pipeline, the highest working pressure determines the necessary device pressure, and the air consumption location uses a pressure reducing valve to meet the equipment requirements, in extreme cases, a A single air compressor is very uneconomical.

Working pressure: end user + final stage filter + piping system + dust particle filter + dryer + compressor adjustment range

The higher the pressure, the greater the power consumption, and the pressure drop caused by the size and length of the piping must be considered. List the operating pressures of various models. If the operating pressures are too different, you must purchase air compressors with different pressures. Do not use at reduced pressures to increase costs.

3. Calculation of air demand

Compressed gas is a clean power that converts electrical energy into air potential energy and uses the expansion of compressed air to do external work. However, it consumes a lot of electrical energy. Generally speaking, the electric energy required to compress 1m? of air to 0.7MPa is about 7kW. According to statistics, the power consumption of the air compressor station accounts for about 20% of the total power consumption of the entire enterprise. This means that saving compressed air and rationally using compressed air will bring you new profit margins!

Air consumption: Combine all tools + machinery and equipment + relevant process air consumption + leakage + wear + future air consumption + usage coefficient (standard value 20%)

Fourth, the number of compressors and the determination of specifications

According to the required degree of flexibility + control system + energy efficiency

(1) Choose one big machine or multiple small machines?

The cost of downtime during production, the utilization rate of electricity, the change of load (load), the cost of the compressed air system, and the available floor space. Due to cost reasons, only one compressor is used to supply all the air in a device, so this system can prepare a quick interface of a mobile compressor for connection when it is used, and an old air compressor can be used as an inexpensive The reserve power provides the reserve gas source.

(2) Stability (an issue that has always been very important);

(3) Energy consumption expenditure

&#; Piping leaks;

&#; The demand for air fluctuates every moment (this is the most neglected and the most serious)

&#; The output efficiency of a single machine (choose the model with the best range of output efficiency)

(4) standardization of spare parts

The optimal combination of multiple 110KW models may be 40-160m³/min, the best choice for the air range.

(5) Operational analysis

It should be observed within one week, and more than 90% of the measured energy recovery is recovered. During a certain period of time, the working pressure often drops. The control system can be modified with reference to the changes in production to improve the use of the air compressor. Another factor is to check for air leaks.

Pay attention to the ratio of energy consumption to save power: actual displacement/actual motor power consumption, the larger the value, the more power consumption.

Do you think air compressors are all the same in appearance, but different in price?

Do customers always complain that air compressors often fail?

Today we will fully explain all the details of the air compressors:

Through this article, you can become an expert in this field in 10mins.

The air compressor has many details in each gear.

We divided into three parts to explain and will tell you different between quality and cheap way to produce this machine.

The general structure of the air compressor is divided into:

  • A(MOTOR)
  • B(PUMP)
  • C(TANK)


A(MOTOR)


The key parts are 1. silicon steel sheet and 2. motor coil


1.    Silicon steel sheet:

Quality way: Use Silicon steel sheet with good magnetic permeability (silicon steel sheet material certificate can be provided)

Cheap way: Use Steel sheet mixed with Silicon steel sheet, the difference between the two is very large; Or reduce Silicon steel sheet to reduce cost.

2.    Motor coil&#;

Quality way: The copper wire used is pure in quality, good in electric conductivity, and the winding turns to meet the standard.

Cheap way: Use inferior copper or aluminum wires, with poor electric conductivity and insufficient winding turns.

The motor combines the above two important keys, the magnetic permeability is poor, and at the same horsepower (HP), the efficiency is not good (ampere is too high) so as to consume electricity.

The electric conductivity is poor, the relative resistance (Ω, Ohm) is high, the service time is long, and it is easy to overheat and even burn down.

B(PUMP)

Key parts include 1. cylinder&#;2. piston&#;3. crankshaft&#; 4. Intake and exhaust valve system&#;5. crankcase 6. cylinder head&#;7. connecting rod&#;8.pulley&#; 9.discharge pipe


1.Cylinder

Quality way: cast iron (FC-25) is used for all materials and the hardness is between 85 and 95 HRB. (Wear-resistant and durable)

Cylinder bore diameter: Cylindricity below 0.01/100mm

(no oil risk)

Cheap way: cast iron with poor quality or aluminum is used, and its processing is unstable, and it is worried about assembly problems. Allowable tolerance is very large.

Therefore, quality is unstable, which often leads to the phenomenon of eating oil. You must pay attention to the amount of oil at any time. When the oil is too small, the piston ring will be injured first, and the efficiency will become poor. The oil will run into the TANK, and the oil content in the air will be too high when it comes out. Or directly lead to piston jam and PUMP scrap.

2. Piston & piston ring

Quality way: using car grade pistons is Taiwan's most professional and well-known piston manufacturer. it provides pistons for major Japanese and European cars (with factory certificates attached). using high-grade pistons, the piston ring on the matching is absolutely first-class. the piston rings are all made of Japanese brand (RIKEN).

Cheap way: The use of pistons and piston rings from unknown manufacturers results in poor circularity, causing the same problems as the cylinders.

3. Crankshaft

Quality way: FCD55 is used as the material, with the emphasis on spheroidizing annealing. The body retains toughness (durable and not easy to break). After precision grinding, the surface is subjected to High-frequency heat treatment, and the surface hardness is sufficient (wear-resistant). After the crankshaft goes through these procedures, the accepted standard of the product warranty material is HRC40-50.

Mainland: FC25orFC30 is used as the material and has not undergone @ Spheroidizing annealing treatment. This material cannot be subjected to High-frequency heat treatment, so the crankshaft has low hardness and tensile strength. After being used for a period of time, it is easy to wear, resulting in a larger gap, abnormal sound and vibration, and further damage.

Difference: Cheap way uses inferior materials

1. The material cost can be saved

2. The processing cost can be saved

The cost of abrasive machining and CNC Lathe depends on the precision and working hours. For the same machining size, the working hours with low hardness are definitely lower. On the contrary, the working hours with high hardness are longer.

And save (Spheroidizing annealing) and (High-frequency heat treatment) costs.

4. Intake and exhaust valve system

Quality way: Intake and exhaust valve system has a patented design. After 30 years of verification, the quality has been able to meet OEM customers. Among them, the valve plates are our special accessories (use UDDEHOLM SS716 420Stainless from ASSAB of Sweden, if you need a material certificate, we are very willing to provide it).

SS716 420Stainless Reference

 SS716 is a multi-purpose martensitic stainless steel grade designed for the medium and thinner range of various components where toughness and impact strength are essential. UHB Stainless 716 is also used at elevated working temperatures and/or in corrosive atmosphere. The 13% chromium steel is delivered in the hardened and tempered condition and has been proven to offer superior fatigue properties.

Brief introduction: when you see the RPM marked on the MOTOR, such as RPM/min, the motor rotates times per minute, and the rpm is 820/min after pulley reduces the rotation speed, the valve means that the opening and closing of the valve are 820 times the same, which can withstand corrosion, high pressure, high temperature, high-speed vibration and magnetism generated after the operation, but will not be fatigued elastically. this is our patent with ingenious design and high cost of materials.

Cheap way: Intake and exhaust valve system -poorly designed and valve plate-unclear materials often cause valve plate fracture or elastic fatigue in a short period of time.

Brief introduction: when the air compressor purchased by you is used for several months, the pressure rises more and more slowly when it is operated-the valve plate is elastic and tired; Pressure cannot rise during actuation-valve plate breaks. This is the most common problem encountered by many customers.

Summary:

Customers feedback the air compressors in mainland China, often requiring repeated maintenance due to small valve sets. On the contrary, our after-sales quality is superior.

5.Crank case&#;6.cylinder head

Quality way: Good processing will bring a sound body. Many inferior air compressors will run for a period of time. Because the pressure in the box rises, there will always be oil leakage under the crankcase. Oil leakage will occur even when it is installed in the store. These bad conditions have never occurred in our products.

During machining, precise parallelism can improve the service life and efficiency of the piston.

Cheap way: Processing is not accurate enough, and OIL gauge often leaks oil. However, the deviation of the parallelism of the crankcase, after running for a period of time, will cause the power consumption to increase and the efficiency to begin to decrease, often resulting in the damage of the fireplug ring in the light case and the damage of the piston unilaterally in the heavy case.

7.Connecting rod

Quality way: Parallelism mentioned just now is also very important on the connecting rod. It is matched with Babbitt metal Busch with good material to achieve the antifriction effect and smooth operation and save electricity.

Cheap way: Connecting rod doesn&#;t use Abbitt metal Busch

8.Pulley

Quality way: Balance correction, counterweight, small vibration

C(TANK)
