Why does the pneumatic driven compressed air booster pump generate heat? How to prevent it?

With the widespread popularity and use of pneumatic driven compressed air booster pumps, some customers may experience heating of the air booster pump. What are the factors causing this? What are the hazards of high temperature? Is there any solution? Now, Mr. Feentor Li from Taizhou will answer your question.

The pneumatic driven compressed air booster pump comes with a cooling function, which uses the driving consumption air source to cool the booster cylinder. The main causes of fever problems are the following aspects.

1: The pressurized compressed air contains moisture, which creates significant resistance between the sealing ring of the piston and the driving cylinder when driven in. In addition, rapid reciprocating friction can cause the pneumatic driven compressed air booster pump to heat up.

2: Hard impurities enter the drive cylinder, and repeated friction between the impurities and the cylinder can also generate heat and scratch the cylinder.

3: When the pressurized gas has no pressure and the backup pressurized medium has no pressure, dry grinding will occur. If no gas enters, the temperature will not be discharged with the gas and will increase.

4: The pressurized medium is originally a high-temperature medium, and the pneumatic driven compressed air booster pump has its own cooling function. However, the cooling function is also brought about by the flow of pressurized gas and the consumption of driving. Excessive temperature of the pressurized medium can also affect the temperature rise of the booster pump.

5: The on-site environment temperature is too high, which is not explained. Everyone understands that temperature has an impact.

When the temperature of the pneumatic driven compressed air booster pump increases, it will affect the sealing ring, resulting in a decrease in service life. Heating the one-way valve will affect the sealing performance, and heating the cylinder can easily cause metal fatigue, leading to a decrease in service life. High ambient temperatures can cause rapid evaporation of lubricating grease inside the booster pump, which will subsequently increase the resistance of the booster pump.

Solution: Dry and clean air source, regularly add lubricating oil, and try to stay away from high temperature environments.
