Linsheng Introduction-Operating Steps Of Portable Air Compressor

The use of portable air compressors includes simply inflating footballs and tires, inflating cylinders, and powering pneumatic tools such as wind cannons, grinders, wrenches and paint sprayers.

An important factor you should consider when using a portable air compressor is power, expressed in horsepower (HP), and air intake volume expressed in cubic feet per minute (CFM). You also need to check its capacity to consider the balance between large capacity and portability.

Operating these compressors is easy, but to maintain their safety and durability, several steps must be followed when using this equipment. With proper operation and maintenance, the machine will work more efficiently and have a longer life.

1. Set up the air compressor
The process of assembling an air compressor usually varies by manufacturer / model. The machine's user manual usually contains instructions to guide you in setting up the machine correctly. This is the first and most important step to ensure that the correct connection will not cause any damage. One setup procedure to be performed on all models is to connect the compressor hose to the machine's regulating valve. If you're new to this or don't know the assembly process, it's best to ask an expert to do it for you, or you can purchase a smaller pre-assembled unit that you're ready to use. You can watch the following video as a reference for setting up the air compressor.

2. Check the oil and fuel levels
Whenever this machine is used, checking the oil level is standard procedure. Engine oil is the substance that lubricates and cools the engine, so running an air compressor with a low oil level can cause the engine to freeze, which is difficult to repair, and most warranties are not covered. If the oil level is below the fill line, it must be filled, and if used for a long time, the oil must be changed as described in the video below. You also need to check for oil leaks and close responsible outlets to avoid confusion and reduce machine efficiency.

You must also check the amount of fuel to ensure that the machine can run for a long time. This prevents unnecessary interruptions between chores to refuel.

The most commonly used power sources in air compressors include natural gas, diesel, and electricity, with differences in efficiency, cost, eco-friendliness, and ease of use.

3.Close all exhaust valves
To ensure that air remains intact during compression, it is important to close all exhaust valves. This prevents air leakage and keeps the differential pressure of the compressed air constant. According to the machine's user manual, you must make sure that the different valves are properly set before proceeding to the next step.

4. Start the engine
Compressor If the portable air compressor is electric, connect its cable to the nearest electrical outlet and turn on the power. If it is not electric, make sure the fuel is sufficient before turning it on.

This will start the engine and its speed will gradually increase until it reaches the highest level. You should then allow the compressor to warm up for a few minutes before you begin to compress the air entering its tank / cylinder until the maximum pressure is reached. You will then close the drain valve of the fuel tank to prevent air from escaping and allow it to cool for a while before stopping the engine.

5. Use it on power tools
You can finally use it to drive your tools.

All you need to do is connect its compressor hose to the air inlet or power tool of the item to be inflated, adjust the settings and release the high pressure air flow to meet the needs of your project.
Portable compressors can be used to fill cylinders, provide clean air to divers, drive pneumatic HVAC units, power pneumatic tools such as portable rock drills, and power industrial processes such as oil oxidation. Smaller portable air compressors can actually be used for smaller jobs, such as inflating balls, inflatable mattresses and tires, etc.

Each portable air compressor model has a different structure and functional design, and each operation may be completely different.
