When we choose an air compressor, will we encounter such a problem: only through the standards of various compressor technologies, sizes, flow requirements and other specifications, we still cannot choose the most suitable air compressor for our industry. The following Youteng tells you 5 common misunderstandings in choosing an air compressor, and how to avoid these misunderstandings and choose the right air compressor.
1. Choosing the wrong compression technique
There are a variety of air compression technologies on the compressor market, from screw and piston (reciprocating)) compressors to scroll and centrifugal compressors, and the variety of compressor types may make it difficult for you to choose. sleepy feeling. Then before making a decision, the following points may help you:
Screw air compressors are ideal for businesses looking for a compressor with low noise, high energy efficiency, low maintenance requirements, and applications that require longer duty cycles and longer run times.
Reciprocating compressors are ideal for businesses with lower air volume requirements, as the cut-off compressor cost is more important and the load rate requirements for daily operation are lower. Some customers have high floor space requirements, so they are also ideal for these customers. Scroll compressors are ideal for applications in research and development, universities, breweries, dental offices and hospitals. These types of compressors operate very quietly.
2. Choosing the wrong compressor size
Choosing a compressor does not lend itself to a "one size fits all" approach. Knowing the exact working pressure and maximum compressed air volume flow of your process is key; in addition, you should also consider potential business or facility expansion.
If you choose an oversized compressor, it will result in a huge energy bill, mainly caused by energy spikes when the compressor starts up and unloading waste. Excessive start-stop cycles can also lead to motor burnout and other potential engine blockages. If you choose a compressor that is too small, the flow will not meet the actual demand, and the pressure will drop, making it impossible to complete tasks (due to lack of compressed air supply). can not complete).
3. Not clear about the air quality requirements of the industry
Different industry applications have different air quality requirements. For example, the medical or pharmaceutical industry requires 100% oil-free air; while the general manufacturing industry may not have such strict air quality requirements.
We recommend that you discuss your type of industry with a professional compressed air expert in order to give you reliable advice on whether to choose an oil-free air compressor or an oil-injected air compressor, what type of filter you might need, etc.
4. Underestimating the life cycle cost of compressors
The life cycle cost of a compressor usually considers four factors: initial investment, installation cost, life maintenance cost and life energy cost. When making your selection, keep in mind that 80% of the life cycle cost of a compressor is caused by energy consumption; this means that the energy efficiency of the selected machine is very important when determining the operating cost of the compressor over its lifespan of.
