TCR Series

Typowe problemy

• Piston ring and cylinder liner wear on the low- and high-pressure stages, reducing delivered pressure/flow
• Valve plate (suction/discharge) fatigue failure, a common wear item on reciprocating air compressors
• Intercooler and aftercooler fouling reducing cooling efficiency and raising discharge temperature
• Crankcase oil contamination with condensate/carbon if drains are not managed
• Safety/relief valve seat leakage or seizure from lack of periodic testing
• Air intake filter fouling reducing volumetric efficiency
• Carbon buildup in the discharge line increasing fire risk if oil carryover and cooling are not controlled

Lista kontrolna przeglądu

• Check final discharge pressure and compare to the nameplate rating under load
• Inspect and renew suction and discharge valve plates per the running-hour schedule
• Check piston ring wear via crankcase inspection where accessible, or by monitoring blow-by/oil consumption trend
• Verify intercooler/aftercooler condition and clean if fouled
• Test safety/relief valves for correct lift pressure
• Drain and inspect moisture separators/automatic drains for correct function
• Check air intake filter condition and replace if restricted
• Inspect crankcase oil for contamination and change per schedule
• Check drive belt/coupling alignment and condition
• Verify automatic start/stop and low-oil-pressure trip functions where fitted

Krytyczne części zamienne

• Suction and discharge valve plates for both LP and HP stages
• Piston rings and gudgeon pin bushes
• Cylinder liners (LP and HP)
• Safety/relief valves
• Automatic condensate drain valve
• Air intake filter element
• Intercooler/aftercooler gasket set

Bezpieczeństwo

• Starting air is stored at high pressure, typically to around 30 bar for this class - isolate and vent before opening any part of the air path
• Discharge line carbon deposits combined with oil carryover are a recognised fire/explosion risk in starting air systems if cooling and drainage are neglected
• Relief valves protecting each stage must be verified functional - an overpressure event in a reciprocating compressor can rupture the cylinder or piping
• Rotating drive components (belts, coupling) must be guarded during operation

Przegląd klasyfikacyjny

Starting air compressors and their relief valves fall within the scope of class survey of the starting air system; surveyors typically check relief valve test records, receiver condition and the automatic drain/interlock arrangement rather than compressor-internal wear parts directly.
