As a commonly used industrial equipment, air compressors have been widely used in various occasions such as factories, workshops, warehouses, etc. The air compressor generates certain noise and pressure during operation, and improper operation can cause harm to personnel and equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop safety operating procedures for air compressors. The following will provide a detailed introduction to the safety operating procedures for air compressors.
1、 Installation and debugging of air compressors
Before installing the air compressor, it is necessary to ensure the stability and firmness of the equipment. Operators need to carefully understand the layout and principle of the equipment to ensure reliable safety measures such as grounding. Before starting the air compressor, it is necessary to check and eliminate the looseness of fixed bolts, and inspect the lubrication system. In addition, during the debugging process, the operator needs to stand behind the equipment to avoid being hit by the sprayed oil and cooling water and causing injury.
2、 Startup and shutdown operation of air compressor
Before starting the machine, the operator needs to inspect the pipelines, valves, liquid level indicators, power lines, etc. of the air compressor to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. When starting up, it is necessary to follow the correct starting steps. First, open the air intake valve of the air source, and then turn on the power switch. After starting the air compressor, it is necessary to adjust the pressure controller and other parameters of the compressor according to its actual situation.
When shutting down, the power switch of the compressor should be turned off first, and then the intake valve of the air source should be closed. When turning off the air compressor, it is necessary to ensure that the counterfire valve of the machine is in an open state to eliminate gas and oil accumulated during the working process.
3、 Daily maintenance of air compressors
Operators need to regularly inspect and maintain the air compressor to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. Specific measures include:
1. Regularly clean the dust and dirt on the surface of the air compressor
2. Regularly inspect and replace the filter element, filter screen, oil pump and other components of the air compressor
3. Regularly check and calibrate the compressor pressure gauge and thermometer
4. Regularly inspect and lubricate various parts and lubrication systems of the compressor
5. Regularly inspect and maintain the air dryer
6. Regularly clean the dry exhaust system
4、 Emergency response measures for air compressors
During the use of the air compressor, if there is a malfunction or unexpected situation, the operator needs to take emergency measures in a timely manner to avoid loss and personal injury. Emergency response measures include:
1. Stop the operation of the air compressor and cut off the power supply
2. Set the pressure controller to a low value and open the air discharge valve to reduce the pressure in the compressor
3. Stop the air supply and close the air inlet valve
4. Immediately remove debris and accumulations from the site to ensure smooth air passage
5. Make an emergency call for assistance
5、 Other safety precautions
1. During the working process, it is not allowed to approach or touch the moving parts and high-temperature components of the compressor arbitrarily
2. It is prohibited to disassemble and replace the main components and accessories of the air compressor, and this work must be carried out by professional technical personnel
3. Operators must wear personal protective equipment such as safety helmet, protective shoes, protective glasses, etc
4. Operators must undergo training to understand the working principle and safety operating procedures of the air compressor
The safety operation regulations for air compressors involve a lot of content, and in actual operation, specific implementation needs to be carried out based on the equipment situation and usage environment. Operators need to always pay attention to safety issues, strictly follow safety operating procedures, and carry out equipment maintenance and emergency response work to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel.
