Oxygen compressor for safe use

Since the oxygen cylinder is a dangerous product, attention should be paid to the details during the use of the oxygen compressor. Oxygen is a combustion-supporting dangerous substance that is not necessarily flammable by itself, but is usually a substance that may cause or promote the combustion of other substances by releasing oxygen or by oxidizing.

Safety precautions for oxygen compressors

Oxygen risk

Hazardous characteristics: Oxygen cylinders are exposed to sunlight or stored in a high temperature environment, or wrestling during handling. It is easy to vaporize and expand the liquefied oxygen in the cylinder, which may cause the cylinder to burst.

Oxygen itself does not burn, but it can help combustion. It can form an explosive mixture with organic matter or other easily oxidizable substances. If it comes into contact with oil, it will react to heat. When this heat accumulates to a certain extent, it can spontaneously ignite. Mixing with flammable gases such as oxygen and acetylene can form an explosive mixture. When liquid oxygen and combustibles are stored together, especially under high pressure, there is a risk of explosion.

Safety precautions for oxygen compressors

1. The oxygen compressor should be reliably grounded. An explosion-proof wall shall be constructed as standard between the oxygen compressor and the filling section. Before the unit is operated, it must be ensured that all components assembled on the machine have been strictly degreased (the bearings must use anti-oxidation grease) 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 has been shut off and the compressed gas in the entire oxygen compressor system has been vented.

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

4. The direction of rotation of the main unit and the fan must be correct, otherwise it will cause a blasting accident.

5. When it is connected to the power supply line of the compressor, it is necessary to install a suitable air switch and connect a suitable grounding wire. The compressor is required to be well ventilated during operation, the ambient temperature is less than 35 °C, and the necessary maintenance is required around the machine space.

6. The compressor can't work under the exhaust pressure higher than the nameplate. Otherwise, the force of the compressor parts 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 anomalies, and even serious security incidents.

7. The safety valve on the oxygen compressor is the safety protection barrier of the machine. It should be checked to the local labor department at least once a year. 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 overpressure; The compressor can be used again at the rear.

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

l  stop the unit;

l  cut off the power supply to ensure that the compressor is in the off state;

l  ensure that the compressed gas in the unit has been emptied;

l  assembly Any parts must be guaranteed to have been strictly degreased and degreased.

9.Personal protection: During the operation of oxygen compressor, people and clothing should be away from moving parts such as compressor pulleys, blades, belts, etc., and can not directly touch cylinders and pipes by hand to avoid burns; operators should have relevant professional Knowledge and experience.

10.  Know the above instructions before driving the oxygen compressor.

Don't ignore your hydrogen compressors and nitrogen compressors. Although they are not as dangerous as oxygen, there are occasional accidents. According to safety matters, your danger will be much lower.
