¿Como puedo levantar la presión de aire del compresor?

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
March 6, 2025

To increase the air pressure of the KAESER ASK T series compressor, follow these steps:

1. Check for Back Pressure: Ensure there is no build-up of back pressure, which can prevent proper venting. If present, change over phase lines L1 and L2 or replace drive belts.

2. Inspect the Minimum Pressure Valve: A faulty valve can limit pressure buildup. Check and replace it if necessary.

3. Verify Motor Rotation: Incorrect motor rotation can affect compressor performance. Ensure the motor is rotating in the correct direction.

4. Ensure Proper Venting: If the compressor is not venting correctly at standstill, inspect and rectify any venting issues.

5. Check the Back-Pressure Switch: A defective back-pressure switch may cause pressure issues. Replace it if needed.

6. Maintain Cooling System: Overheating can reduce efficiency. Clean the radiator and refrigerant condenser, ensure adequate ventilation, and check the cooling oil level.

7. Use Only Genuine KAESER Parts: Ensure all replacement parts, including pressure-bearing components and filters, are KAESER-approved.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, consult an authorized KAESER service technician for further troubleshooting.
