What causes high temperatures in screw air compressors?

Screw air compressors can encounter various problems during operation, with overheating being a common issue. What are the causes of overheating?

1. Air compressor oil quality issues: Companies should choose original equipment manufacturer (OEM) air compressor oil. Avoid purchasing cheap or different series of oils, as different series have different viscosities. This can lead to the compressor not meeting normal operating standards and causing overheating.

2. Excessive dirt in the air compressor's oil filter: This prevents air compressor oil from entering the compressor properly. Insufficient cooling and lubrication can cause the compressor temperature to rise rapidly. A low oil level can also cause this problem.

3. Clogged air compressor radiator: Lack of regular maintenance leads to increased dust accumulation around the air compressor. Over time, this reduces the radiator's heat dissipation efficiency, resulting in overheating.

4. Poor ventilation and lack of air circulation around the air compressor. Ensure adequate space around the air compressor to facilitate heat dissipation. This is crucial during installation.

5. Insufficient oil in the air compressor. When the oil level is below the center line in the oil level gauge, the air compressor will overheat.

6. A malfunctioning temperature sensor in the air compressor can also cause overheating.
