What are the effects of continuous operation - pneumatic air boost system on the air boost pump

With the increasing use of high-pressure air in factories, the working conditions of pneumatic air boosting systems have also increased. Most factories will be equipped with pneumatic air boosting systems to increase the compressed air pressure in the pipelines to meet the equipment's operating pressure conditions. Factories, unlike laboratories, may face 24-hour non-stop work once they start operating. What should be paid attention to when using a pneumatic air boost system at this time? How to avoid these problems?

Firstly, it is necessary to distinguish between two situations: 24-hour full load work and 24-hour off work.

If working at full capacity for 24 hours, there will be several impacts. Continuous friction of the sealing ring for 24 hours can cause it to age and deform easily. Continuous friction between the sealing ring and the cylinder barrel for a long time can cause metal fatigue and affect its service life. Unable to perform regular maintenance, affecting its service life. So how to solve these problems? 1: A backup air boosting system can be used alternately with the original air boosting system (such as every 4 hours). 2: Adding an air booster pump to the existing air boosting system can prevent the system from operating at full capacity and create intermittent rest. The principle is to use the boost flow rate of the air booster pump to be greater than the gas consumption flow rate of the equipment. At this time, when the flow rate exceeds the limit, the air booster pump will stop working due to its own principle, achieving a resting effect.

If the air booster pump is used intermittently for 24 hours, it should be checked whether it is operating at full load and the intermittent time in between. If it works at full load for 4 hours and takes a 5-minute break, another set of air booster system should be prepared or an air booster pump should be added. There is no problem with a break of more than 20 minutes. Some customers use a compressed air booster pump that works for a few minutes and stops working for 1-2 minutes due to saturated compressed air. This situation can be used continuously for 24 hours.

Summary: Whether the continuous operation of the pneumatic air boosting system has any impact depends on the actual situation on site. Some can be used continuously for 24 hours, while others cannot. In situations like this, it is necessary to follow the on-site operating conditions and detailed instructions from Fuente sales to prevent the lifespan of the air booster pump from being shortened due to improper use
