Model and compatible models: The oil filter kit for Atlas Copco air compressors comes in various models. Some of them are suitable for oil filters of RXD series lubricants, such as 3001160212, which are applicable to air compressors of models like GA5, GA7, GA11, GA7VSD+, GA11VSD+, GA15VSD+, G7, etc.

Atlas Copco SEPARATOR OIL SPARE Replacement cycle Normal operating conditions: According to the compressor manual, it is usually replaced every 2,000 to 4,000 hours (simultaneously with the lubricating oil). Severe operating conditions: When the environment is dusty, the machine operates at full load for a long time, or the oil deteriorates quickly, the replacement interval should be shortened to 1,000 to 2,000 hours. Pressure difference alarm: When the pressure difference between the oil filter inlet and outlet exceeds the set value (such as 0.3 MPa, some models come with pressure difference gauges or alarm functions), it is necessary to replace immediately.

Maintenance tips for Atlas Copco air compressor thermostat kit: Regularly remove the thermostat valve for cleaning, remove foreign substances that may exist in the lubricating oil, and prevent blockage. You can put the valve core in 80℃ water to observe. If the valve core expands fully in this environment and is 10-15mm longer than at normal temperature, then the valve core is normal. If there are aging or other issues, the thermostat valve needs to be replaced.

The Importance of the Air Intake Valve in Atlas Copco Air Compressors and Its Connection to Energy Saving The adjustment accuracy of the intake valve directly affects the energy consumption of the air compressor: If the intake valve is not closed tightly , the air compressor will still consume additional power during unloading (about 30% - 50% of full load), and long-term operation will significantly increase electricity costs. The slide valve type and other continuously variable intake valves can adjust the intake volume in real time according to the actual gas consumption, and are 10% - 20% more energy-efficient than traditional butterfly valve types . In summary, the intake valve is the "breathing valve" of the air compressor. Its performance and condition are crucial to the operating efficiency, energy consumption, and stability of the equipment. Regular maintenance and correct selection are the key to ensuring the economic operation of the air compressor.

Atlas Copco confirms the type of lubricating grease Based on the type of air compressor components and operating conditions , select the matching special lubricating grease . It is strictly prohibited to mix different types or grades of lubricating grease . Check the parameters of the lubricating grease: such as applicable temperature range, pour point , and penetration . Atlas Copco cleans the components to be lubricated Stop the machine and ensure the components are completely cooled. Use oil-free cotton cloth or dedicated cleaning agents to wipe the old lubricating grease, oil stains, dust, and metal debris on the surface of the components, especially the key areas such as the bearing seat and the meshing surface of the gears, which need thorough cleaning .

Atlas Copco V-BELT (SET 2X) XPZ Maintenance Points: During installation, ensure the appropriate tension is maintained. Insufficient tension will cause the belt to slip, affecting the transmission efficiency. Excessive tension will increase the load on the bearings, shortening the lifespan of the belt and the bearings. During use, regularly check the wear condition of the belt. If cracks are found on the surface of the belt, severe wear, or slipping occurs, it is necessary to replace it promptly. At the same time, keep the belt clean to avoid the attachment of oil stains, dust and other impurities on the belt, which will affect its transmission performance.
