Increasing compressor reliability is vital to improve production.
There are several types of compressors: rotary, reciprocating, axial flow, centrifugal, screw, and more. Their purpose is to increase the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Manufacturing, refrigeration, and gas compression lines depend on compressor uptime, making reliability critical to the entire operation.
Compressors absorb large amounts of air along with contaminating particles. Compressors used in refrigeration also face viscosity reduction problems due to gas entrainment. Oil analysis reveals contamination and mechanical wear through particles found in the fluid, enabling predictive action before failures occur.
Benefits of fluid analysis in compressors
- Detect solid particle and moisture contamination in compressor oil
- Monitor viscosity changes caused by refrigerant gas entrainment
- Identify wear metals to pinpoint the source of mechanical degradation
- Control oil acidity to prevent internal corrosion in the compressor
- Reduce maintenance costs and increase equipment useful life
- Maintain production continuity in critical manufacturing and refrigeration lines
