compressor
The compressor is considered as refrigeration system The special term that best represents the characteristics of compressor is called "steam pump". The actual responsibility of the compressor is to raise the pressure and raise the suction pressure to the discharge pressure [2]
Compression ratio is a technical expression of pressure difference, which means that the absolute pressure on the high-pressure side is divided by the absolute pressure on the low-pressure side. The absolute pressure value must be used for the calculation of compression ratio. In order to avoid negative value of the calculated compression ratio, absolute pressure must be used instead of gauge pressure when calculating the pressure ratio. Only by using absolute pressure value can the calculated compression ratio be positive, which is meaningful.
There are five types of compressors used in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry: reciprocating, screw, rotary, scroll and centrifugal. Reciprocating is the most widely used compressor in small and medium-sized commercial refrigeration systems. Screw compressor It is mainly used in large-scale commercial and industrial systems. Rotary compressor scroll compressor It is mainly used for household and small capacity commercial air conditioning devices, Centrifugal compressor It is widely used in the air-conditioning system of large buildings.
various Reciprocating compressor Generally, it is classified according to the form of compressor housing and the setting mode of driving mechanism. According to the shell form, there are open and closed semi closed compressors. Closed type means that the whole compressor is set in a housing.

Compressor can be divided according to its principle [3] It is a positive displacement compressor and a speed compressor. The volumetric type is divided into: reciprocating compressor, rotary compressor; The speed compressor is divided into axial compressor, centrifugal compressor and mixed flow compressor.
Today's household refrigerators and air conditioner All compressor types are displacement type, which can be divided into reciprocating type and rotary type. Reciprocating compressors use piston, crank, connecting rod mechanism or piston, crank, sliding tube mechanism, while rotary compressors mostly use rolling rotor compressors. In commercial air conditioners, they are mostly centrifugal, vortex and screw type.
According to the application range, it can be divided into low back pressure type, medium back pressure type and high back pressure type. Low back pressure type (evaporation temperature - 35~- 15 ℃), generally used for household refrigerators, food freezers, etc. Medium back pressure type (evaporation temperature - 20~0 ℃), generally used for cold drinks cabinet, milk refrigerator, etc. High back pressure type (evaporation temperature - 5~15 ℃), generally used for Room air conditioner Dehumidifier, heat pump, etc.

working principle

It is mainly used on the air compressor to adjust the start and stop status of the air compressor. It can stop the air compressor for rest by adjusting the pressure in the air tank, which is useful for maintenance of the machine. When debugging the air compressor in the factory, adjust it to the specified pressure according to the customer's needs, and then set a differential pressure. For example, when the compressor starts to pump air into the air storage tank, when the pressure reaches 10kg, the air compressor will stop or unload. When the pressure reaches 7kg, the air compressor will start again. There is a pressure difference between them. This process can allow the compressor to take a break to protect the air compressor [5]
The motor directly drives the compressor to make the crankshaft rotate and drive the connecting rod to make the piston reciprocate, causing the volume change of the cylinder. Due to the change of the pressure in the cylinder, the air is allowed to enter the cylinder through the air filter (silencer) through the air inlet valve. During the compression stroke, due to the reduction of the cylinder volume, the compressed air passes through the exhaust valve, passes through the exhaust pipe, and the one-way valve (check valve) enters the air reservoir. When the exhaust pressure reaches the rated pressure of 0.7MPa, the pressure switch will control the automatic shutdown. When the pressure of the air tank drops to 0.5-0.6MPa, the pressure switch is automatically connected and started.

Switch structure

For different temperature measurement ranges, temperature switches with different structures should be selected. In the temperature range of 0 ℃~100 ℃, solid expansion type temperature switches are usually used. In the temperature range of 100 ℃~250 ℃, gas expansion type temperature switches are mostly used. For the temperature range above 250 ℃, only thermocouples or thermal resistance thermometers can be used, After the measurement transmitter is converted into analog electrical signal, the electrical signal is converted into switching signal [6]
The working principle of solid expansion temperature switch is to make use of the difference of length change of different solids after heating to generate displacement, so that the contact can act and output the switching value signal of temperature. For example, there is a temperature switch that uses Bimetallic sheet (The brass sheet is stacked on the indium steel sheet). As the linear expansion coefficient of the brass sheet is larger than that of the indium steel sheet, the bimetallic sheet will bend after being heated. When the specified temperature is reached, the free end of the bimetallic sheet (the moving contact of the temperature switch) will produce enough displacement, disconnect from the fixed static contact, and send out the switching value signal.
The gas expansion temperature switch is based on the gas Pressure thermometer The principle of working. It has a temperature measuring package filled with nitrogen, which is connected to the measuring element of the pressure switch through the sealed capillary tube. When the measured temperature reaches the specified value, the inflation pressure in the temperature chamber makes the pressure switch act.

After replacement twice, change the oil according to the regular maintenance requirements.
In order to ensure uniform lubrication, sufficient lubricating oil must be available everywhere during the initial operation.

Environmental requirements

Announce
edit
With the development of industry, the pollution to the earth is becoming more and more serious. Environmental protection has become an important issue of global concern global warming , which has attracted the attention of all countries in the world, reached consensus among international governments and signed relevant agreements [7]
compressor
In the field of refrigeration and air conditioning, the destruction of the atmospheric ozone layer caused by CFCS and HCFCS and the global warming caused by energy consumption are issues that should be paid great attention to when designing compressors.
As we all know, refrigerant selection affects Compressor design One of the many factors that should be highly valued.
In order to develop new compressors using alternative refrigerants, the designer first encountered two problems:
First, the size of the compressor's working volume must be redefined to meet the pressure requirements of different flow rates;
Secondly, the compatibility between various materials in contact with refrigerant in the compressor, such as synthetic rubber and lubricating oil, must be solved.
In the past history, more than 50 substances have been used as refrigerants. After World War II, except for ammonia in the range of large cooling capacity, almost all refrigeration and air conditioning fields were dominated by halohydrocarbon CFCS and HCFCS in 1974 Montreal The CFCS substitution specified in the agreement has been realized in industrialized countries, and the HCFCS substitution plan will be completed in 2020; For developing countries, it will be discontinued in 2010 and 2040 respectively. However, in some developed countries, they are prepared to achieve this in advance. Figure 6 shows the application fields of CFC-11, CFC-12, HCFC-22 and R502 commonly used in Europe and their possible substitutes (under the arrow line).
CFC-11
CFC-11 is a low pressure refrigerant, mainly used for Centrifugal chiller The transition agent is HCFC-123. In addition, HFC-245ca or HFC-245fa are also low pressure refrigerants, but they are flammable, so their flame reduction methods and toxicity need to be studied, and their use is not as efficient as CFC-11 and HCFC-123. Therefore, many enterprises have changed to use HFC-134a in centrifugal chillers.
CFC-12
CFC-12 is widely used in Automobile air conditioner Therefore, the object to be replaced should be considered first. HFC-134a can be replaced in household refrigerators and automobile air conditioners. HFC-134a has the same refrigerating capacity and efficiency as CFC-12 in the range of medium temperature and high temperature. But when the temperature is lower than - 23 ℃ working condition However, it loses its attraction because its cooling capacity and efficiency are lower than CFC-12. Although HFC-134a ozone The ODP value of the consumption potential is zero, but the GWP value of its global warming potential is as high as 1300 (the comparison value based on the GWP value of CO2), which will also affect its development and use in the long run.
HCFC-22
HCFC-22 has been widely used in commercial refrigeration, commercial and residential air conditioners and heat pumps. Its ODP value is far less than that of CFC-11 and CFC-12, only 0.055. However, its GWP value is quite high, about 1700. Because of these reasons, some European countries, such as Germany, are being eliminated rapidly. Several refrigerant mixtures have been used as alternatives to HCFC-22. The American Refrigeration Association has recommended four kinds of refrigerant alternatives in its refrigerant alternative evaluation plan (AREP): HFC-134a, R407C, R410A and R410B. However, HFC-134a has a smaller refrigerating capacity and pressure than the other three. Using it as refrigerant requires a larger redesign of the system, so it seems to be the least likely to replace HFCF-22, but it is still possible to be used in larger chillers. zeotropic Working medium R407C is likely to be a "drop in" substitute for existing machines. Because it is the closest to HCFC-22, only minimal changes are required to the equipment of the system after replacement, and acid lubricating oil is used to replace mineral oil. Attention should also be paid to the larger temperature slip of the working medium (up to 5~7 ℃). Near azeotropic refrigerants R410A and R410B are two mixtures of the same HFCS, but the only difference is the mixing ratio. R410A is suitable for small split air conditioners, but its evaporation pressure is about 1.5 times that of HCFC-22. Therefore, the system using this working medium needs to be completely redesigned, so it is only used in new refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The optimized design of this system can increase its efficiency by 5%.
R502
R502 was widely used in low temperature refrigeration system Li. AREP recommends two possible alternatives: R404A and R507. R404A has the same refrigerating capacity and efficiency as R502, but more tests should be carried out on the system components, especially the compressor. One of the mixed components of R507 plays a role of flame retardancy, which is similar to the performance of R502, but the toxicity test continues in the United States; However, in Europe, it has been used in supermarket refrigeration equipment.
natural refrigerant
"Natural refrigerants", such as ammonia hydrocarbon carbon dioxide Etc. Ammonia has been used for more than one hundred years. So far, many countries have used it in large-scale industrial refrigeration and food refrigeration [10]
Hydrocarbons have very good thermodynamic properties and heat transfer characteristics, and are completely compatible with all mechanical materials and oils. In fact, this working medium has been Petrochemical industry For large refrigeration systems. The resistance affecting the popularization of such refrigerants comes from their combustibility. In Europe, this refrigerant has begun to enter the household Refrigeration equipment For example, Germany has 90% coverage in its products. The Chinese refrigerator industry also has R600a products using isobutane.
The application scope and prospect of combustible refrigerant is a very important issue, and its universal solution still needs a relatively unified international understanding, because it affects the international trade of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. However, to achieve this step, more experimental research and policies adopted by various countries on this issue are still needed. It seems that it will take quite a while to see the clues.
Because the traditional mineral oil and synthetic oil suitable for CFCS working fluids such as CFC-12 have poor compatibility with HFCS such as new working fluids R134a, people have developed a new type of polar lubricating oil. The base of the lubricating oil is either poly ester POE (called ester oil) or polyethylene glycol PAG (called Ethylene glycol oil )They have good compatibility with new HFCS working medium, so as to avoid Heat exchanger Gather lubricating oil and ensure that the oil can return to the compressor smoothly.

Common faults

Announce
edit

Insufficient air displacement

Insufficient air displacement is one of the most common faults of the compressor, which is mainly caused by the following reasons [8]
1. Failure of air inlet filter: the scale is blocked, which reduces the exhaust volume; The suction pipe is too long and the pipe diameter is too small, which increases the suction resistance and affects the air volume. The filter should be cleaned regularly.
compressor
2. When the compressor speed decreases, the exhaust volume decreases: Air compressor Improper use. Because the discharge capacity of the air compressor is designed according to a certain altitude, suction temperature and humidity, when it is used on a plateau that exceeds the above standards, the suction pressure will decrease, and the discharge capacity will inevitably decrease.
3. The cylinder, piston and piston ring are severely worn and out of tolerance, which increases the clearance and leakage, affecting the exhaust volume. In case of normal wear, vulnerable parts such as piston rings shall be replaced in time. If the installation is incorrect and the clearance is inappropriate, it should be corrected according to the drawing. If there is no drawing, experience data can be taken. For the circumferential clearance between the piston and the cylinder, if it is a cast iron piston, the clearance value is 0.06/100~0.09/100 of the cylinder diameter; For aluminum alloy piston, the clearance is 0.12/100~0.18/100 of the gas diameter; The smaller value of aluminum alloy piston can be adopted for steel piston.
4. The stuffing box is not tight, resulting in air leakage, which reduces the air volume. The first reason is that the stuffing box itself does not meet the requirements during manufacturing; Secondly, it may be that the piston rod is not well aligned with the center of the stuffing box during installation, resulting in wear, strain, and air leakage; Generally, the stuffing box is filled with lubricating oil, which can play the role of lubrication, sealing and cooling.
5. Impact of compressor suction and exhaust valve failure on the exhaust volume. Metal chips or other sundries fall between the valve seat and the valve plate of the gas valve, resulting in untight closing and air leakage. This not only affects the exhaust volume, but also affects the changes of interstage pressure and temperature; This problem may be caused by manufacturing quality problems, such as warping of valve plates, and air leakage caused by serious wear of valve seats and valve plates.
6. The gas valve spring force does not match the gas force well. If the elastic force is too strong, the valve plate will open slowly, and if the elastic force is too weak, the valve plate will not close in time, which will not only affect the air volume, but also affect the increase of power, as well as the service life of the valve plate and spring. At the same time, it will also affect the change of gas pressure and temperature.
7. The pressing force of the pressing air valve is improper. If the pressing force is small, air leakage will occur. Of course, if it is too tight, the valve cover will be deformed and damaged. Generally, the pressing force can be calculated by the following formula: p=k π/4 D2P2, D is the diameter of the valve chamber, P2 is the maximum gas pressure, K is a value greater than 1, generally taking 1.5~2.5, K=1.5~2.0 at low pressure, and K=1.5~2.5 at high pressure. Practice has proved that it is good to take K in this way. If the gas valve fails, the valve cover must be heated and the pressure is abnormal.

Abnormal temperature

Abnormal exhaust temperature means that it is higher than the design value. Theoretically, the factors affecting the increase of exhaust temperature include intake air temperature, pressure ratio, and compression index (for Air compression index K=1.4)。 The actual situation affects the factors of high suction temperature, such as: low intermediate cooling efficiency, or in the intercooler Incrustation If more knots affect the heat exchange, the suction temperature of the later stage must be higher, and the exhaust temperature will also be higher. In addition, air leakage of gas valve and piston ring will not only affect the rise of exhaust temperature, but also change the interstage pressure. As long as the pressure ratio is higher than the normal value, the exhaust temperature will rise. In addition, water-cooling The exhaust temperature will rise in case of water shortage or insufficient water.

Abnormal pressure

The amount of gas discharged by the compressor cannot meet the user's flow requirements under the rated pressure, then Exhaust pressure It must be reduced. At this time, another machine with the same exhaust pressure and large exhaust volume has to be replaced. The main reason for the abnormal interstage pressure is the gas leakage of the gas valve or the gas leakage after the piston ring is worn. Therefore, the reasons and measures should be taken from these aspects.

Abnormal sound

If some parts of the compressor fail, it will make an abnormal sound. Generally speaking, the operator can identify the abnormal sound. The clearance between piston and cylinder head is too small, resulting in direct impact; The connecting nut between piston rod and piston is loose or tripped; The plug on the end face of the piston is blocked, and the piston moves upward in series to collide with the cylinder head; Metal chips falling into the cylinder and water accumulated in the cylinder can make knocking sound in the cylinder. Crankcase crankshaft bearing bush bolt, nut, connecting rod Bolt The crosshead bolt is loose, tripped and broken, the shaft diameter is severely worn and the clearance is increased, the crosshead pin and bushing fit clearance is too large or severely worn, etc. All of these can make a crash sound in the crankcase. The exhaust valve plate is broken, the valve spring is soft or damaged, and the load regulator is improperly adjusted. Then find the fault and take measures.

Overheating fault

Overheating occurs when the temperature exceeds the specified value at the friction points between crankshaft and bearing, crosshead and sliding plate, packing and piston rod, etc. The consequences of overheating: one is to accelerate the wear between friction pairs, and the other is that the excessive heat energy continues to accumulate to burn the friction surface, resulting in a major accident of the machine. The main causes of bearing overheating are: uneven fitting of bearing and journal or too small contact area; The bearing is deflected, the crankshaft is bent, the viscosity of lubricating oil is too small, and the oil circuit is blocked, Oil pump Oil cut-off due to fault; During installation, there was no leveling, no clearance, no alignment between the main shaft and the motor shaft, and the two shafts were inclined.

The bearing is worn

compressor
The wear of compressor transmission parts is a common problem, including bearing position, bearing seat, bearing chamber Keyway And thread, etc Repair welding and Brush plating Spraying is the main method, but both of them have certain disadvantages: the thermal stress caused by the high temperature of repair welding cannot be completely eliminated, which is easy to cause material damage and lead to bending or fracture of parts; However, brush plating is subject to the coating thickness, which is easy to peel off, and the above two methods are both metal repair, which cannot change the "hard to hard" coordination relationship, and will still cause re wear under the combined effect of various forces. In contemporary western countries, it is often used to solve the wear problems of compressor transmission parts Polymer composites The most mature repair method currently used is the United States Meijiahua Technical system, with super adhesive force, excellent compressive strength and other comprehensive properties, it can be removed without machining, without the influence of repair welding thermal stress, and the repair thickness is not limited. At the same time, the material has the flexibility that metal does not have, which can absorb the impact and vibration of equipment to avoid the possibility of re wear.

Corrosion erosion type

compressor corrosion It can be divided into comprehensive (uniform) corrosion and local corrosion. The former occurs evenly on all surfaces of the compressor, while the latter only occurs locally, such as Pitting Crevice corrosion Intergranular corrosion Stress corrosion, etc. It is one of the effective anti-corrosion measures to apply organic coating on the surface of the compressor with polymer composite materials. It has good chemical resistance, excellent mechanical properties and bonding properties. Compared with the traditional welding repair of pressure vessels, it has the characteristics of simple construction, low cost and good repair effect.

Shell crack and fracture

Due to casting and processing defects, internal stress, overload operation and other reasons, the compressor often causes cracks or fractures in its components. The conventional repair method is welding, but some parts are made of cast iron , aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, difficult to do welding treatment. There are also some dangerous occasions that are prone to explosion, and it is not easy to use welding repair method. The new "cold welding" technology can avoid thermal stress deformation. At the same time, the materials have good adhesion, compression resistance, corrosion resistance and other comprehensive properties, which can meet the operating requirements of the compressor to the maximum extent, so as to effectively ensure operation at the lowest cost.

Installation conditions

Announce
edit
Compressor installation
The selection of installation site is most ignored by the staff. The compressor is often randomly located after purchase and used immediately after piping, without prior planning. Little did we know that such a hasty result resulted in the difficulty of compressor maintenance and the poor quality of compressed air in the future. Therefore, selecting a good installation site is a prerequisite for the correct use of the air compression system [12]
1. A wide and well lighted place shall be provided to facilitate operation and maintenance.
2. The relative humidity of the air should be low, with less dust, clean air and good ventilation.
3. The ambient temperature must be lower than 40 ℃, because the higher the ambient temperature, the less the output air of the compressor.
4. If the factory environment is poor and dusty, pre filtering equipment must be installed.
5. Reserve access roads, and install crown block if conditions permit, so as to facilitate maintenance.
6. Reserve maintenance space. The distance between the compressor and the wall must be at least 70cm.
7. The compressor shall be at least one meter away from the top space.

matters needing attention

Precautions for piping, foundation, cooling system and air pipeline [12]
1. When piping the main pipeline, the pipeline must have a slope of 1 °~2 ° to facilitate the drainage of condensate in the pipeline.
2. The pressure drop of the piping line shall not exceed 5% of the set pressure of the compressor, so it is better to choose a larger pipe diameter when piping.
3. The branch pipeline must be connected from the top of the main pipeline to avoid the condensate in the pipeline flowing down to the gas equipment. The compressor air outlet pipeline should preferably have a one-way valve.
4. When several compressors are installed in series, a ball valve or an automatic drain valve must be installed at the end of the main pipeline to facilitate condensate drainage.
5. The main pipeline shall not be shrunk arbitrarily. If the pipeline must be shrunk or enlarged, the reducer shall be used, otherwise there will be mixed flow at the joint, which will lead to large pressure loss and affect the service life of the pipeline.
6. If there are purification buffer facilities such as gas storage tank and dryer behind the compressor, the ideal piping should be compressor+gas storage tank+front filter+dryer+rear filter+fine filter. In this way, the air storage tank can filter out part of the condensed water, and at the same time, the air storage tank also has the function of reducing the gas exhaust temperature. The air with lower temperature and less water content enters the dryer again, which can reduce the load of the dryer or filter.
7. If the air consumption of the system is very large and the time is very short, and the instantaneous air consumption changes greatly, it is advisable to install an air tank as a buffer (its capacity should be greater than or equal to 20% of the maximum instantaneous air volume), which can reduce the frequency of frequent loading or unloading of the compressor unit, reduce the number of actions of control elements, and have great benefits for maintaining the operating reliability of the compressor. Generally, the air storage tank with a capacity of 20% of the air displacement can be selected.
8. For compressed air with system pressure below 1.5MPa, the flow rate in its delivery pipe must be below 15m/sec to avoid excessive pressure drop.
9. Elbows and valves shall be minimized in the pipeline to reduce pressure loss.
10. The ideal piping is that the main line surrounds the whole plant, so that compressed air from both sides can be obtained at any position. If the gas consumption of a branch line suddenly increases, the pressure drop can be reduced. In addition, appropriate valves shall be provided on the annular trunk line for maintenance and cutting.

Installation foundation

1. The foundation shall be built on a hard floor. Before installation, the foundation plane must be leveled to avoid noise caused by vibration of the compressor.
2. If the compressor is installed upstairs, anti vibration treatment must be done to prevent the vibration from being transmitted to the downstairs or causing resonance, which has potential safety hazards for the compressor and the building itself.
3. screw The vibration generated by the compressor is very small, so it does not need to be a fixed foundation. However, the ground on which it is placed must be flat, and the underground cannot be soft soil. The bottom of compressor should be paved with cushion or shockproof pad to prevent vibration and noise.

Cooling system

1. When you choose Air-cooled compressor The ventilation environment shall be considered. Do not place the compressor High temperature equipment In order to avoid the normal operation of the unit being affected by the high exhaust temperature caused by the high temperature atmosphere inhaled by the compressor [12]
2. When the compressor is installed in a small confined space due to the restriction of service conditions, it must be equipped with air extraction and exhaust equipment to facilitate air circulation. The capacity of the air extraction and exhaust equipment must be greater than that of the compressor cooling fan Air volume And the position of the suction inlet shall be suitable for the position of the compressor hot exhaust outlet.

Compliance

The compressor shall be installed in accordance with relevant local laws and regulations, and the following regulations shall be strictly observed:
1. The compressor shall be lifted with lifting equipment with a bearing capacity greater than the unit weight, and the lifting speed and acceleration shall be limited within the allowable range.
2. Try to install the compressor in a cool, clean and well ventilated place to ensure that the air inhaled by the compressor is clean and the moisture content is minimum.
3. The air inhaled by the compressor is not allowed to contain combustible gas and corrosive gas to avoid explosion or internal corrosion.
4. The air-cooled machine should preferably have an exhaust fan or air duct to guide the hot air out of the room to avoid the circulation of hot air to the air inlet.
5. The discharge of compressor sewage and waste oil shall comply with the regulations of local environmental protection department.
6. This machine is used for Three phase AC power supply The 380V, 50Hz power supply line of the pilot compressor must match its power and be installed with air switch, fuse and other safety devices. To ensure the reliability and safety of electrical equipment, it must be reliably grounded.

Commissioning

1. New machine commissioning must be carried out by commissioning personnel designated or approved by the company [12]
2. Before starting the machine, make sure that no one is inside the machine set, check whether there are any leftovers and tools, and close the door of the machine set; When starting up, inform the crew members to pay attention to safety;
3. During the test run, strictly check the running direction of the compressor. In case of reverse rotation, immediately shut down the machine, cut off the power supply, switch any two three-phase lines and restart the machine, otherwise the compressor will be damaged (pay attention to every factory power maintenance!)
4. The compressor cannot work at a discharge pressure higher than that specified on the nameplate, otherwise motor overload And burnt out;
5. When the compressor is under remote control, the machine may start at any time, and a tag shall be hung to remind;
6. When the compressor fails or unsafe factors exist, do not start it by force. At this time, cut off the power supply and make obvious marks.

Maintenance

Compressor maintenance and repair must be carried out under the guidance of qualified personnel [12]
1. Compressed air and electrical appliances are dangerous. During overhaul or maintenance, confirm that the power supply has been cut off, and hang warning signs such as "overhaul" or "no opening" at the power supply to prevent injuries caused by others' switching on and power transmission;
2. When shutting down for maintenance, it is necessary to wait for the whole compressor to cool down and the system compressed air to be released safely, and the maintenance personnel should try to avoid any air outlet in the compressor system and close the corresponding isolation valve;
3. When cleaning unit parts, non corrosive safety solvents shall be used, and flammable, explosive and volatile cleaning agents are strictly prohibited;
4. After the compressor has operated for a period of time, the safety valve and other protection systems must be inspected regularly to ensure their sensitivity and reliability, which is generally inspected once a year;
5. The spare parts of the compressor must be provided by the factory, and the screw oil must be designated by the company screw compressor Special oil, and it is strictly prohibited to mix two brands of oil, otherwise it will cause system coking and cause major accidents.

How to distinguish the old from the new

How to identify a new compressor from an old compressor or a refurbished compressor. In fact, this is the same as the RMB identification method, which requires some professional knowledge [13]
1: If you buy two identical machines, please use a meter to measure the winding resistance. If it is a new machine, it must be consistent.
2: If you buy a machine, please smell the peculiar smell at the high pressure port of the machine during pressure test, or use open flame to test whether the exhaust port is discolored (the light of the lighter should be yellow, and discoloration indicates that it has been used and has been filled with fluorine, even if the machine is cleaned with any solvent, it can not be cleaned)
3: The paint of the new original compressor is water-soluble paint or fluorocarbon paint, and the paint surface is uniform and smooth. In high temperature environment, the paint surface is not sticky and has no paint smell. Most of the refurbishing machines are produced by small manufacturers, which is impossible to achieve this level.
4: Then look at the trademark. The trademark of the original machine is clear, the font and pattern proportion is moderate, the edge of the trademark is free of burrs, and the model on the nameplate must match the machine, otherwise it is not ruled out that it is a refurbished machine.
5: The HP and LP pipe orifices of the new compressor are all welded by high-frequency welding on the production line, and the pipes are all new pipes without any welding slag on the inner wall. As long as the above points are achieved, I believe it is not difficult to identify an original brand new compressor.

In the next ten years, China will transform from a big manufacturing country to a strong manufacturing country, realizing the transformation from "Made in China" to " Created in China The key period for the transformation of Made in China [1] 。”
The linear compressor technology replaces the traditional compressor because of its high efficiency, zero noise, zero pollution and simple structure. It is a real green industrial technology.
Six Embodiments of the Development of China's Manufacturing Industry in the Next Decade
First, the manufacturing industry has become the pillar of China's national economy. manufacturing industry Industrial added value It accounts for about one-third of the national GDP and 80% of the total industry; Tax payment accounts for 90% of the total industry; The export of industrial manufactured products accounts for 90% of the total export volume of China's foreign trade; Employees account for 90% of the total industry. "From the perspective of development trend, there will be some changes in the next decade, but the manufacturing industry will still play an important role in the national economy."
Second, China's manufacturing industry will continue to grow at a certain rate in the next decade.
Third, the total volume and scale of China's manufacturing industry has ranked first in the world, and it will be the first in the world in the next ten years.
Fourth, transformation, upgrading and structural adjustment will be the main theme of China's manufacturing industry in the next decade. China's manufacturing industry will face five major changes in the future: from relying on investment to relying mainly on technological progress and improving the quality of workers; From focusing on the expansion of production capacity to focusing on the accumulation of technical capacity; Transform from production oriented manufacturing to service oriented manufacturing; From the low end of the world manufacturing value chain to the high end of the world manufacturing value chain; From squeezing to being environmentally friendly.
Fifth, the integration of information technology and China's manufacturing industry is advancing in depth and breadth. Integration of informatization and industrialization“ Manufacturing informatization It is the focus and convergence point of the integration of industrialization and industrialization. " The integration of manufacturing, information technology and high-tech can promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing to modern manufacturing. Among them, intelligence is very important: the digitalization of products and equipment is to provide intelligent tools to all sectors of the national economy, so as to improve China's social productivity and improve the international competitiveness of China's equipment manufacturing industry. The research centers in this field include the national independent third-party research center for major technical equipment- China Major Machinery and Equipment Network
Sixth, green manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing and service-oriented manufacturing will become the direction of China's manufacturing industry. Green manufacturing means that in the product and whole life cycle of our manufacturing industry, from design, production to remanufacturing, the concept of green should be permeated. For example, developing energy-saving products, technologies and processes; Develop products and processes with less pollution, no pollution and low emission; Promote low-carbon development and circular economy; Reduce resource consumption and save resources; Protect ecology. The intelligent manufacturing system will eventually transform from a human-machine harmonious system with human as the main decision-making core to an autonomous operation with machine as the main body.
For example, developing intelligent products (smart machine tools); Automation and intelligence of production process; Develop industrial automatic control technology and products (sensing elements Automation instrument , PLC, DCS, FCS, fieldbus, CNC system), remote monitoring, detection, diagnosis, etc. Observing the development trend of the industry in the past year, all compressor enterprises have undergone great changes, both in terms of sales channels and internal management, which is also the main reason for the rapid recovery of compressor enterprises.
