Try to turn the compressor by hand. It should be possible to turn it around. It should turn around smoothly, without any 'hickups' (be sure to completely shut down the air compressor!). Check the isolation of the motor windings.
[pdf] Solutions: Inspect the system for leaks, replace clogged filters, and check for worn parts like seals or rotors. Possible Causes: Loose components, bearing wear, or improper alignment. Solutions: Tighten loose components, inspect bearings, and ensure proper alignment of moving parts.
[pdf] Heat generated during compression can cause air expansion before intake is completed. Poor cooling performance—whether due to inefficient oil cooling or water cooling —raises internal temperatures and reduces overall intake volume. Air displacement is directly proportional to rotor speed.
