If the oil temperature drops below 40°C or exceeds 90°C, the oil’s quality can deteriorate, leading to potential damage and reduced compressor life. When the oil temperature is too low (below 40°C), the oil becomes too viscous, causing increased friction within the compressor.
[pdf] An oil analysis ensures that the oil maintains the right viscosity, additives, and cleanliness levels required for efficient operation. Monitoring the oil’s condition helps prevent excessive wear and tear on critical components such as bearings and rotors.
[pdf] Addressing high temperature failures in screw air compressors requires a proactive approach, including regular maintenance, quick repairs, improved environmental conditions, and optimized operating parameters.
