How to maintain Industrial Hydrogen Compressors?

Hydrogen compressors play a special function in crude oil processing technology systems. It has a lot of advantages, such as safety and high working efficiency, hence it can be applied in many industrial sectors. 

How to repair industrial hydrogen compressors is an important topic. Many people may not know how to properly and effectively repair an industrial hydrogen compressor. This article will list several common hydrogen compressor problems and give solutions to them.

The common types of faults with Industrial Hydrogen Compressor

·Low lubricant pressure

The most common problem when running hydrogen compressors is low lubricating oil pressure. When a hydrogen compressor is operating normally, the lubricating oil is transferred to the main filter. Through the oil pump, it passes in turn through the external lube oil cooler and the secondary filter, which is divided into three paths. To be more specific, the first path reaches the compressor oil pressure gauge, the second path reaches the small section of the large head tile sleeve to provide lubrication and the third path reaches the compensation pump to prevent oil leakage from the oil pressure limiter.

·Lubrication issues

There is no doubt that the smoothness and lubrication of the cylinder bore are very important. The reciprocating motion of the piston operates at a high speed in the cylinder. When the hydrogen contains dust and particles, a thin layer of dust appears on the inner walls of the hydrogen, which can greatly affect the efficiency of hydrogen compression.

·Wear and tear

When an industrial hydrogen compressor reaches a certain level of use, wear and tear is bound to occur. It’s necessary to check and maintain it, this is to ensure the safety and stability of the hydrogen compressor and to extend its working life.

In summary, these are just a few of the common failure conditions of industrial hydrogen compressors. In addition to this, hydrogen compressors may also operate less efficiently for other reasons. But there is no need to worry too much, as the next section will focus on how to repair hydrogen compressors effectively.

How to maintain an Industrial Hydrogen Compressor effectively?

To begin with, maintenance work is done in advance in ordinary life. If the hydrogen compressor is not cooled and lubricated properly in its working condition, it is likely that the friction of the components will increase, which will lead to a high-temperature body and make the surfaces wear out. Therefore, prevention in advance is most important.

Second, the choice of material for the restoration of industrial hydrogen compressors is also important. The carbon nanopolymer material is generally selected according to the operating environment of the equipment, this is to ensure the longevity of the equipment.

The hydrogen compressor is the core equipment for chemical reactions in the chemical production process. This equipment uses hydrogen as a raw material. In operation, an overhaul plan should be drawn up and it is important to carry out regular checks on the hydrogen compressor. Maintenance work should be carried out in accordance with the different conditions required by a normal hydrogen compressor and different coping strategies should be developed.

Why using an Industrial Hydrogen Compressor?

The reason for using a hydrogen compressor is very simple, as it is one of the most important pieces of equipment in the modern industry. Generally speaking, hydrogen compressors are available in various types such as membrane, reciprocating piston, rotary, screw, and turbine. The application is based on the flow rate, suction, and discharge pressure to select the right type. The different types of hydrogen compressors have different characteristics and use scenarios. It is therefore important to know the characteristics of each type before buying a hydrogen compressor.
