  • Publication number: 20240369053
    Abstract: The gas compressor comprising a pre-filter for compressed air is placed at the compressed air intake of the enclosure for primary removal of dust, and an intake filter for further secondary removal of dust, at least one compressor body that draws in and compresses air a motor that drives the compressor body, air cooler cools compressed air, a cooling fan that passes cooling air to the air cooler, a cooling air intake that draws in more than the outside air by means of a cooling fan, a pre-filter for cooling air installed in the cooling air intake, and a controller for controlling an operation of the gas compressor, wherein the controller determines the frequency of cleaning or replacement of the pre-filter for compressed air and the pre-filter for cooling air based on the load factor, which is an indicator of the operating condition.

  • Patent number: 9732751
    Abstract: In a water-supply line for performing water-supply to the rotors and the mechanical seal of a compressor, or in a condensed-water collection line for collecting condensed water of a dryer into the inlet port of the compressor, a water reservoir is provided at a position higher than the water-supply unit of the compressor. Moreover, there are provided a start-time water-supply line and a solenoid valve set up therein. Here, the start-time water-supply line establishes the connection between the lower portion of the water reservoir, and the inlet port of the compressor and the water-supply unit of the mechanical seal.

  • Patent number: 8616856
    Abstract: In a water injection air compressor including a compressor main body for compressing air, a water-feed line for feeding water to an actuation chamber in the compressor main body, an air release valve for releasing the compressed air from the compressor main body, and a control panel for executing an on-load operation mode in which water is fed into the actuation chamber and an air release valve is closed and a no-load operation mode in which the water is fed into the actuation chamber and the air release valve is opened, wherein the control panel further executes a dry operation mode in which the water is prevented from being fed into the actuation chamber and with the air release valve is opened.
