Winter precautions for oil-free water-lubricated air compressors

With winter approaching, air compressor room managers often encounter problems such as air compressors not starting properly and pipes freezing in cold weather, leading to losses such as business stoppages and production shutdowns. How to use air compressors properly in low temperature conditions is a problem that every room manager will encounter. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, QiAir reminds all air compressor users to pay attention to the following matters when starting up in winter.

When the oil-free water-lubricated air compressor is below O℃, the lubricating oil of the oil-free water-lubricated air compressor will freeze and the temperature will rise instantly when starting, causing over-temperature shutdown. QiAir reminds the users of oil-free water-lubricated air compressor that when the ambient temperature is below 0℃, the correct way to start is 2-3 times to let the lubricating oil circulate and prevent the air compressor from over-temperature in operation.
