How to use a CO2 compressor safely?

The presence of CO2 in nature has been perceived in practice since primitive times, but the technical limitations of the society meant that the presence of CO2 was only visible. However, as society developed, the research on CO2 never stopped. It was not until the last century that the invention of the compressor made it possible to obtain CO2 in the form of compressed CO2, which is the standard of use.

Nowadays, CO2 compressors are an essential part of modern industry. Today we will tell our audience how to use CO2 compressors safely, taking into account the nature of CO2.

What are the properties of CO2?

CO2 is one of the carbon-oxygen compounds, an inorganic substance that is non-combustible and does not normally support combustion, and is non-toxic at low concentrations. It has a wide range of industrial uses and CO2 is essentially a carbon-oxygen compound. CO2 is generally produced by calcining limestone at high temperatures or by reacting limestone with dilute hydrochloric acid, with solid CO2 being used mainly in the refrigeration of perishable foodstuffs, gaseous CO2 being used mainly in the manufacture of carbonated soft drinks and solvents for supercritical state reactions.

What are the operating methods of CO2 compressor？

There is nothing complicated about operating a CO2 compressor. In simplistic terms, CO2 compression is a process of compressing and transferring CO2. It can be divided into three main steps: turning on the CO2 source, connecting the equipment, and compressing and transferring it.

What should be careful during the use of the CO2 compressor? 

·Examination before using the machine

For any machinery or equipment, it is important to carry out a safety check on the components before use. We need to make sure that the machine is working properly. In addition to this, we recommend creating a safety checklist for the CO2 compressor in question. For example, to ensure that the machine is lubricated to prevent wear and tear.

·Election of the use scenario

The use scenario also affects the working efficiency of the CO2 compressor. There are certain restrictions on the use of CO2 compressors in different situations. For example, in plants with a lot of dust and impurities, we recommend installing additional filters to ensure efficiency.

·Safety settings

The way in which the equipment and the working space are set up can have a significant impact on safety. The safety settings of a CO2 compressor affect its actual use. Among the settings are the pressure ratings of the components, which is to ensure that all components, making the CO2 compressor reach its maximum pressure rating. Other important components are the pressure relief valves. If the pressure in the tank is too high, the relief valve automatically releases air, which is also a function of the safety system.

In general, these are the main points to note when using a CO2 compressor. It is a matter of the proper and safe use of the CO2 compressor. It is important to note that each CO2 compressor is already adjusted to the system parameters by us before it leaves the factory. For your safety, please do not adjust, bypass, or dismantle them at will.
