Atlas Copco The air compressor temperature sensor is an important component used for real-time monitoring of the temperatures of key parts of the compressor unit (such as exhaust temperature, oil temperature, and motor temperature, etc.). Its core function is to detect temperature changes and provide data support for the control system, ensuring that the equipment operates within a safe temperature range. At the same time, when abnormal temperatures occur, it triggers protection mechanisms (such as shutdown and alarm) to prevent mechanical failures or safety risks caused by overheating.

Function: Filtering impurities: During the operation of the air compressor, the lubricating oil will generate metal debris due to friction with metal components, and the oil itself will also produce gums and other impurities due to heating and oxidation with air. The oil filter can effectively remove these impurities, such as metal particles and deteriorated oil substances. The filtration accuracy is usually between 5-15 μm, maintaining the cleanliness of the oil passage, preventing impurities from entering critical components such as bearings, gears, and main body cavities, reducing wear and extending the service life of the equipment. Ensuring lubrication effect: Ensure that the oil entering the main unit is pure, maintain good lubrication performance, allow the friction surfaces to be fully lubricated, reduce friction loss, and avoid faults caused by poor lubrication due to impurities, such as bearing damage, rotor seizing, etc.

Atlas Copco The oil filter and oil separator service kit for the air compressor is a comprehensive accessory set used for the maintenance and servicing of the compressor's oil and gas system. It is mainly used to replace the key filter elements regularly to ensure the cleanliness of the compressor's oil circuit and thorough oil-gas separation, thereby guaranteeing the efficient operation of the equipment and extending its service life.

Atlas Copco The air compressor water separator (also known as a compressed air dryer or water vapor separator) is a key device in the compressed air system used to remove and separate moisture and condensate in the compressed air. Its core function is to remove the water vapor generated during the compression process, preventing moisture from entering downstream equipment (such as pneumatic tools, pipelines, instruments, etc.) and causing corrosion, blockage or performance degradation.

The oil filter assembly of the air compressor is one of the key components that ensure the normal operation of the compressor. Its main function is to filter out impurities, metal particles, and sludge in the oil, preventing them from entering the critical friction components of the engine or the compressor (such as bearings, pistons, cylinders, etc.), thereby reducing wear, extending the equipment's lifespan, and ensuring the efficient operation of the lubrication system.

First separation: The oil-gas mixture containing various-sized oil droplets, which comes out from the exhaust port of the air compressor main unit, enters the oil-gas tank. Most of the oil in the oil-gas mixture falls to the bottom of the tank under the action of centrifugal force and gravity. Second separation: The compressed air containing oil mist passes through the micrometer and fiberglass filter material layers of the oil-gas separation filter element for secondary separation. The oil particles undergo mechanisms such as diffusion, direct interception, and inertial collision aggregation, causing the suspended oil particles in the compressed air to quickly coalesce into large oil droplets. Under the action of gravity, the oil gathers at the bottom of the oil separation element and returns to the main lubricating oil system through the bottom concave area of the secondary return oil pipe inlet, thereby enabling the air compressor to discharge more pure and oil-free compressed air.
