Do you know the precautions for stopping the screw air compressor?

Some factories may temporarily stop air compressor operation due to production adjustment, so how to properly handle the shutdown air compressor?When screw air compressor is shut down for a long time, the following methods should be strictly followed according to the length of shutdown time, especially in the season or area where temperature is lower than 0 degrees and high humidity.

Treatment methods for screw air compressor stopping for more than 1 month:

2) When the air compressor is shut down, the water in the oil cooler and the rear cooler should be completely drained to avoid freezing and cracking damage of the cooler under low temperature conditions.

3) If there are any faults before the air compressor stops, it should be repaired and placed again so as not to need emergency use in the future.

4) Drain condensate from oil and gas barrel, oil cooler and rear cooler two or three days after shutdown of air compressor;
