Difficult to start or unable to start.
- Cause the emulsification of lubricating oil, reduce the effect of lubricating oil, lead to poor lubrication of the main engine, increase the wear of the rotor, and result in large vibration and high - noise of the main engine.
- Affect the overall efficiency of the air - compressor. Air is compressible, but water is incompressible.
- Cause the corrosion of components such as the main engine.
- Deteriorate the oil - gas separation effect and shorten the service life of the oil separator.
How to Reduce or Avoid Condensed Water?
- Select an air - compressor with a suitable air volume to reduce the long - term low - temperature operation or unloaded operation of the air - compressor.
- Regularly drain the condensed water through the ball valve under the oil - separator barrel.
- Install the air - compressor in a dry environment for operation.
- Set a reasonable start - stop temperature for the cooling fan.
