The sensor kits of Atlas Copco air compressors usually include the following types and functions of sensors:
Pressure sensors:
Monitor the pressure at various levels of the air compressor (such as intake pressure, exhaust pressure, oil separator pressure, etc.), provide real-time pressure data feedback, ensure the system operates stably within the set pressure range, and trigger protection mechanisms when pressure is abnormal.
Temperature sensors:
Used to detect the temperatures of key parts, such as exhaust temperature of the air compressor main unit, inlet and outlet temperatures of the oil cooler, and motor windings temperature, prevent equipment damage due to overheating, and ensure safe operation.
Level sensors:
Mainly used in oil separators, oil tanks, etc., monitor the oil level of the lubricating oil. When the level is too low, issue an alarm to avoid mechanical wear caused by insufficient oil.
Flow sensors:
Some kits include flow sensors to monitor the cooling air flow, lubricating oil circulation flow, etc., ensuring the normal operation of the cooling and lubrication systems.
Humidity sensors (for specific models):
In some applications with high requirements for the quality of compressed air, humidity sensors will be equipped to monitor the moisture content in the compressed air, ensuring the quality of the produced gas.
Advantages and features of the kits:
Original factory compatibility: All sensors are designed for specific Atlas Copco air compressor models, ensuring perfect compatibility with the equipment control system, accurate and reliable data transmission, and avoiding monitoring errors or system failures due to compatibility issues.
High precision and stability: Using high-quality sensing elements and advanced manufacturing processes, they have high measurement accuracy and long-term stability, and can work continuously and reliably in complex industrial environments (such as high temperatures, vibrations, oil contamination, etc.).
Integrated design: The installation interfaces and signal output methods of the sensors in the kit are unified, facilitating quick replacement and maintenance, and reducing downtime.
Application scenarios and replacement timing:
When there are abnormal pressure/temperature displays, frequent alarms, or unstable operating parameters in the air compressor, it may be caused by sensor failure. At this time, using the original factory sensor kit for overall replacement or targeted replacement can quickly restore the monitoring function of the equipment, ensuring that the control system can accurately obtain the equipment status information and achieve precise control.
