Safety precautions for oxygen compressors

Safety precautions for oxygen compressors

1. The oxygen compressor should be reliably grounded. The explosion-proof wall structure should be used as a standard between the oxygen compressor and the filling part. Before operating the machine, ensure that all parts installed on the machine tool have been strictly degreased (anti-oxidation grease must be used for bearings) and all joints and accessories are locked.

2. High pressure oxygen and electricity are dangerous! The unit can be serviced or maintained on the unit while ensuring that the power supply is cut off and the compressed gas in the entire oxygen compressor system has been discharged.

3. During the operation of the unit, do not loosen or remove any pipe fittings and mechanical parts; the unit is filled with high-pressure and high-temperature oxygen, which can cause serious safety accidents.

4. The main unit and the fan must rotate in the correct direction, otherwise it will cause an explosion.

5. When it is connected to the power line of the compressor, it is necessary to install a suitable air switch and connect a suitable grounding wire. It is required that the compressor be well ventilated during operation, the ambient temperature is below 35 degrees Celsius, and necessary maintenance is required around the machine space.

6. The compressor cannot operate at an exhaust pressure higher than the nameplate pressure. Otherwise, the force of the compressor components will deteriorate, the exhaust temperature will be too high, and the motor will be overloaded. As a result, the compressor parts will be damaged, the service life will be shortened, and the machine will be shut down. Such abnormalities may even lead to serious safety accidents.

7. The safety valve in the oxygen compressor is the safety protection fence of the machine. It should be inspected at least once a year to the local labor department. When the gas pressure in the system exceeds the rated pressure, the safety valve opens to release the gas. At this time, it is necessary to check the cause of the overpressure; the compressor can be used again later.

8. When doing any maintenance on the oxygen compressor, the following tasks must be done:

Stop the unit; cut off the power supply to ensure that the compressor is in the off state; ensure that the compressed gas in the unit has been emptied; any assembled parts must be strictly degreased.

9.Personal protection: During the operation of the oxygen compressor, personnel and clothing should be away from moving parts such as compressor pulleys, blades, belts, etc., and should not touch the cylinder and pipes directly with their hands to avoid burns; operators should have relevant professional knowledge and experience.

10. Proprietary drive oxygen compressor as per above instructions.
